Saul Alvarez Knocks Out Amir Khan to Retain WBC Middleweight Title Saturday May 07,2016


Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez successfully defended his World Boxing Council middleweight title in spectacular fashion Saturday May 07,2016 with a devastating sixth-round knockout of Amir Khan in Las Vegas.


The 25-year-old Mexican dropped Khan with a straight right hand over a left jab that sent the Briton crumbling to the canvas with just 23 seconds left in the round.

The back of Khan's head bounced off the deck, prompting his corner to rush to his aide as he lay there motionless for a couple of minutes.


Khan eventually got up and went to his corner as the savage end, to what was supposed to be the biggest fight of his career, will undoubtedly strengthen the notion that he has a soft chin.

It was a shocking end to what had been a surprisingly close fight up to that point as Khan moved up two weight classes to face the bigger champ.
