NEW YORK – With a mischievous smile, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez repeatedly greeted his granddaughter and gestured for him to join him on stage at his press conference on Wednesday to announce his fight on December 15 against Rocky Fielding.
At each attempt, Alvarez's adorable little princess would look at him and occasionally leave a stick that would send the unified middleweight champion back to the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

She may be the only person able to knock out the 28-year-old woman these days, as the proud dad and champion actually lives his best life.
He really loves fatherhood.
He managed to convince Gennady Golovkin to play the second leg last month against his rival, exorcising his critics who wondered if he could defeat "GGG".
He is always the pride and joy of his native Mexico.
He is probably the best boxer of the game right now.
And he has just signed with DAZN a gigantic five-year, eleven, $ 365 million deal, the biggest deal in the history of the sport, surpassing the MLB Giancarlo slugger's $ 325 million contract Stanton in 2014.
So, yes, life is good for Canelo Alvarez. Really good.

"I am very happy, it fills me with pride to be one of the only Mexican fighters and one of the highest paid athletes, a Mexican," said the modest Alvarez at Sporting News, translated from Spanish into English. English, after the conclusion of his press conference. "More than anything, though, I'm happy to be able to offer great fights to fans."
These "big fights" begin with Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KO), who went from 160 pounds to 160 pounds, the middleweight champion, to compete for the world title of the WPA super middleweight Fielding.
When asked why he had not waited for the winner of the Oct. 27 fight, Danny Jacobs-Sergiy Derevyanchenko – especially since he guaranteed Alvarez was knocked out – his eyes widened for a moment, but he remained largely indifferent.
"You know, I fought the best fighter at 160 pounds and now I'm getting ready for this title," said Alvarez, referring to his war with Golovkin and taking up the challenge of facing Fielding. "I want to be part of a small list of 10 Mexicans who have won world titles in three divisions and that's why we made that choice."
If he wins Fielding – as expected – who can say that Alvarez can not go down to 160 and completely erase the slate, be it Jacobs, a Jermall Charlo (once he's there)? came out of his suspension) and "GGG", which Canelo spoke with DAZN earlier about coping in a possible trilogy.
Or maybe one of those fights with DAZN is a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr., which is the only defeat of Alvarez's record. Canelo also told DAZN's Ak and Barak to have hit the spine on his side – the stinging defeat of May 2013 against Mayweather.
Canelo can develop strategies with its Golden Boy advisors and roll out these plans later.
At this moment, he is preparing to face Fielding at Madison Square Garden on December 15th.
"It's very important for me to finish this year in style," he told SN.
That being said, although Fielding is honored that the current boxing king has chosen him as his opponent, he swears he will not be a happy doormat, just under the spell, dazzled by all the bright lights in less than two month. He will fight the boxing bull to the best of his ability.
"I come as a champion … I want to go as a champion," said SN Fielding, 31 (27-1, 15 KOs). "I certainly come here to put it on Canelo and win."
If Alvarez's hand is raised during his 51st win – a win that will help him add more computer equipment – what a way to punctuate his grand 2018.
From there, he will make his next move and will be assured that his contract will be as clean and net as his contract with DAZN.
"Look, I just want the best fights," he said. "There are a lot of people I could have good fights with, but I just want the best fights."
