I guess I ever realized he was a world champion, but I was aware of him as a constant opponent for potential big fights. It’s cool to hear about a guy who pursued his dreams with a degree of success and is satisfied with what he accomplished. What more could a man ask for, right? On to the next chapter of his life.
Good for him. Made some good money and became champion.
Hats off to Rocky. I wish him the best and congratulations on winning a title and achieving his dreams in a sport that you do not “play.” Best of luck in your post boxing career.
Good luck/congrats to him’
A fine career for Rocky Fielding. I knew when Canelo beat his thin arms up so bad it would be the end for him. His arm looked bad enough to end a fighting career.
your thinking of Smith ,Canelo barely touched Fieldings arms it was mostly to the body.
best of luck to Rocky and yep once a champ always a champ nobody can ever take that away from him
Well, you did get to fight in MSG with Michael Buffer calling your name but you were never a world champion.
Yes he was a champion it’s you that was not or will ever be.
Great health to you and best of luck, you’ve earned it.
Well a smart decision to retire for sure with his facilities intact. Assume he got paid well for the Canelo fight and saved some money before then. In truth a very very weak world champion and his fight vs Canelo was a bad mismatch. Totally outclassed. He was brave but outgunned and appeared to have no strategy at all. A domestic level fighter who maximised on his chances. Good luck to him.
Let’s also not forget that he was starched in under a minute by Callum Smith, before the scouse fighter couldn’t make 168 anymore.
Wish him the best..
Good you gave a poor performance against Canelo.
