New York - Former two division world champion Bernard Hopkins knows a thing or two about landing body shots and winning at Madison Square Garden. He took it to Felix 'Tito' Trinidad in 2001, stopping the Puerto Rican inside of enemy territory in New York. Hopkins, who is a partner in Golden Boy Promotions, was in attendance to watch Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KO’s) do the same this past weekend to cheers from the Garden crowd - as the Mexican star demolished Rocky Fielding in three easy rounds.
New York - In front over 20,000 fans in New York’s Madison Square Garden, Canelo Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) made quick work of Rocky Fielding (27-2, 15 KOs) to win the WBA "regular" super middleweight title. After missing close to a year due to a suspension stemming from a positive clenbuterol test that postponed his rematch with Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KO’S) in May, Canelo has fought twice and looked impressive in a close majority decision victory over Golovkin and a destruction of Fielding.
