NEW YORK – Canelo Alvarez threw a Garden party Saturday night. Coming off his close decision against Gennady Golovkin three months ago to take the WBA and WBC middleweight titles, Alvarez could hear chants of “Canelo! Canelo!” long before he entered the Madison Square Garden ring for the first time. “That was the plan in the gym, to hit the body and then move up, and that’s the result,” Alvarez said through an interpreter. If this was a one-off at 168 pounds, it was quite a show in his debut at Madison Square Garden.
