Boxing World Reacts To Canelo Knocking Out Rocky Fielding

Canelo Alvarez was at his pinpoint best last night at the Garden with some of the most laser-like, devastating body shots of his career to date.

After the fight Alvarez noted how the body shots were something he and his team worked on heavily in camp for Rocky Fielding.

The proof was in the pudding in the end with what turned out to be an execution of a game plan that was clearly crafted to perfection.

Here’s what the boxing world has had to say so far following the fight last night:

Canelo is one of the coldest .

Charlo need to stay away from him & stop callin him out. https://t.co/MjpRvcckF9— 9one (@MoorishParadigm) December 16, 2018

After ripping in some brutal left hooks to the body, Canelo loves to feint with that shot then come up with a left hook or uppercut to the head. Lovely moves and very effective. #CaneloRocky https://t.co/30iCtcAlUm

Just thinking that Canelo is such an intimidating mix of experience and youthful physicality. A 28 year-old with 54 professional bouts under his belt. Kind of CV usually reserved for boxers in the mid 30s – whose physical powers are waning.

"Rocky is doing okay" – Macklin 😩

Canelo did what he was supposed to. I'd like to see the Jacobs fight now.

‘Lost a bit of respect for Rocky Fielding tonight. Went down too easy and should have been boxing Canelo on the outside. That would have been my strategy.’ pic.twitter.com/Rcs4VEXgK6

In fairness, #Canelo has earned a "gimme fight" after fighting GGG twice. If you watched #CaneloRocky on DAZN for $10 you really can't complain, especially if you paid $80 for Khan, Chavez, etc.#boxing #CaneloFielding #MonteroOnBoxing

Announced attendance at Madison Square Garden tonight was 20,112. A sellout in Canelo's debut at MSG. #CaneloRocky
