WBA/WBC middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (51-1-2, 34 KOs) won the champion title in his third weight class, scoring a TKO victory in the third round over Rocky Fielding (27-2, 15 KO) and taking away his WBA super middleweight title in the main event of the evening at the Madison Square Garden arena in New York.
Alvarez was noticeably shorter than Fielding, which did not prevent him from sending the Brit to the canvas by the left hook to the body in the first round. In the second round, Fielding was again on the floor from the same left hand on the body. Twice more Rocky fell in the third round, again from hitting to the liver. The referee stopped the fight at 2:38.
