Canelo vs. Rocky Fielding - Undercard Details Revealed
Middleweight knockout sensation David Lemieux (40-4, 34 KOs) will look to make a second potential Knockout of the Year performance before 2018 ends as he takes on Tureano Johnson (20-2, 14 KOs) in the scheduled 12-round co-main event of Canelo vs. Rocky. The card will also feature the return of Sadam "World Kid" Ali and will showcase some of Golden Boy Promotions' best rising stars. The event will take place Saturday, December 15 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and will be streamed live on DAZN--which, at just $9.99 per month after a one-month free trial, means new subscribers to DAZN will enjoy the entire Canelo vs. Rocky fight night for free.
"Golden Boy Promotions will give fans early Christmas gifts this year as we offer yet another great card to close 2018 on a very high note," said Oscar De La Hoya, CEO and Chairman of Golden Boy Promotions. "David Lemieux still has his eyes set on Canelo, and that night they will be in the same arena. Lemieux knows that if he loses against Tureano Johnson, he can forget about any shot with Canelo. Also, each of these undercard fights, even the ones featuring Sadam Ali, Ryan Garcia, Vergil Ortiz and Lamont Roach, Jr., could easily be the main attraction of any other event, so fans should not miss out on this great night of action - especially when it's free for new DAZN subscribers."
Lemieux is a 29-year-old puncher coming off a spectacular first-round knockout victory against Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan on the televised pay-per-view undercard of Canelo vs. GGG2. The native of Montreal, Canada will look to earn another shot at the middleweight crown in this bout against Johnson.

"I'm extremely ready and looking forward to my next fight against [Tureano] Johnson," said David Lemieux. "I didn't take a break since my last fight because I thought that I would be facing Canelo. Training camp has been great. Johnson is a solid opponent. I'm ready for an explosive performance and a great victory to end the year in a great way."
Johnson is a 34-year-old contender who hopes to fight for a world title despite some setbacks. Johnson's only losses were against Curtis "The Cerebral Assassin" Stevens and Sergiy "The Technician" Derevyanchenko. If the native of Nassau, Bahamas can get past Lemieux, he will join a short list of fighters who are worthy of a middleweight title shot.
"David Lemieux is a former world champion, so he's the kind of guy I'll have to defeat if I want a shot at the title," said Tureano Johnson. "I've had some setbacks in my career, but I'm feeling better than I ever have before. I'm excited to be part of this platform and will take advantage of this opportunity with a victory against Lemieux this December."
"We are happy to have David Lemieux fight on December 15 in the Mecca of boxing," said Camille Estephan, President of Eye of the Tiger Management. "He is having a great training camp and is getting ready to bring two sledgehammers to the ring, one in his left hand and one in his right. He's healthy and ready to go."
Former WBO Junior Middleweight World Champion Sadam "World Kid" Ali (26-2, 14 KOs) of Brooklyn, N.Y. will make his welterweight return against the rugged and experienced Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera (24-7, 7 KOs) of Riverside, Calif. in a 10-round battle.
Ryan "Kingry" Garcia (16-0, 13 KOs) of Victorville, Calif. will fight for the first time under the tutelage of Eddy Reynoso, head trainer of Canelo Alvarez, in a 10-round lightweight battle.
Yves Ulysse Jr. (16-1, 9 KOs) of Montreal, Canada will return in a 10-round super lightweight fight.
Super lightweight knockout artist Vergil Ortiz (11-0, 11 KOs) of Dallas, Texas will return in a clash scheduled for 10 rounds. Opponents for Garcia, Ulysses and Ortiz will be announced shortly.
Lamont Roach Jr. (17-0-1, 7 KOs) of Washington, D.C. will defend his WBO International Super Featherweight Title against Alberto Mercardo (15-1-1, 3 KOs) of Humacao, Puerto Rico in a 10-round fight.
Bilal Akkawy (18-0-1, 14 KOs) of Sidney, Australia will take on Victor Fonseca (17-8-1, 14 KOs) in a 10-round super middleweight battle

"If I win, I'll be the king of New York and one of the biggest names in the sport overnight. I came from nothing and now I'm headlining at MSG. It's a dream come true, but it's a job, and the work will be done in the gym in Manchester. There's a lot of talk about Canelo's next fight after Dec. 15-that it could be with Danny Jacobs, Demetrius Andrade, the Charlos, or even Callum Smith at Anfield - let them talk. If I take Canelo out, I'll have a massive fight at Anfield instead.
"When we had the face off, the first thing I saw were cuts from the GGG fight which were still fresh. Also, there's no way he's going to be able to put eight pounds of muscle on since his last fight, but he's elite and I know that it's my biggest test. I'm confident, though. I wouldn't have taken it otherwise. It's at my weight, and I am big for the weight. I can punch, I'm heavy-handed and I can box.
"The height and the weight are significant. I am comfortable at the weight and he'll be the one stepping up. He was a beast at light middleweight, but he's not the biggest middleweight out there, so he won't be at 168lbs. That difference is going to make for a great fight. If I have to dig deep at times, as I expect to have to do, I know I can. My weight and height can definitely play a massive part. I've had six good wins since the Smith fight. I've won titles and then gone to Germany where nobody gave me a chance and knocked the hometown guy out to become world champion. He [Canelo] may be looking past me, but I am definitely not looking past him.
"We're covering all bases in sparring. You aren't going to get sparring partners that are exactly like Canelo, but we're replicating the build, the height, slick boxing skills and fast hands. But it's as much about what I can do on the night. We know that he [Canelo] is an elite fighter and an all-round class act, but there are little bits there that Jamie Moore and I are watching on tape and working on in the gym.
"This is my first camp training as a world champion, and I know that it's harder to stay as a world champion than become one because it's like there's a target on your back. Everything about the fight is big, but we're away from it all in Manchester. There's no Madison Square Garden bright lights there, so we're focused on the plan with Jamie.
"Canelo doesn't make many mistakes, so we're going to have to draw those mistakes out of him. He boxed in a 12-round war in September and now he's gone into another camp to box me in December. Will his body hold up through another camp after that war?"
rocky living his best life lol
i see theres little to no excitement about this card lol
At New York (DAZN):
At New York (DAZN):
- Rocky Fielding vs. Canelo Alvarez, 12 rounds, for Fielding's WBA "regular" super middleweight title - garbage fight / soft touch
- David Lemieux vs. Tureano Johnson, 12 rounds, middleweights - depending on what lemieux shows and how much he weighs on fight night this is looking like a KO for him
- Sadam Ali vs. Mauricio Herrera, 10 rounds, welterweights - this is prolly the first herrera fight that I can see ending in a KO for him lol..its 50/50 on paper...ali should win but his chin isnt all that solid and he took a beating and a half against munguia
- Tevin Farmer vs. Francisco Fonseca,12 rounds, for Farmer's IBF junior lightweight title - tevin against the guy who gave tank a good amount of trouble on the may-mcg card. i see Tevin trying to get another statement win ahead of a possible unification with Tank
- Katie Taylor vs. Eva Wahlstrom, 10 rounds, for Taylor's IBF/WBA women's lightweight title
prospects - they got some good prospects on this shyt..esp roach jr, ortiz jr, and ulysse
- Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Omar Tienda, 10 rounds, junior welterweights
- Ryan Garcia vs. Braulio Rodriguez, 10 rounds, lightweights
- Lamont Roach Jr. vs. Alberto Mercado, 10 rounds, junior lightweights
- Yves Ulysse Jr. vs. Maximiliano Becerra, 8 rounds, junior welterweights
- Bilal Akkawy vs. Victor Fonseca, 10 rounds, super middleweights
They really took their time announcing the fights on this. Outside of Tevin Farmer and David Lemieux fight, I didn't even know who else was on it.
Ulysse career should be progressing faster at this point, he needs a new promoter.
