Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez Destroys Amir Khan With A BRUTAL K.O

British fighter Amir Khan‘s decision to jump up two weight divisions to fight devastating knockout merchant Saul Alvarez backfired last night. The Bolton-based boxer was floored in the sixth round by a hammer blow of a punch by the Mexican. It was about as comprehensive a KO as you’re likely to see in a boxing ring this year. Canelo had gone into the fight as a firm favorite with the bookies and his class really showed as he took out his spirited but ultimately inferior opponent.

Khan started the livelier of the two fighters, out-pointing the red-haired Canelo. But his dabbing approach wasn’t hurting Alvarez and the crowd knew a potential knockout was on the cards, what with the Mexican’s impressive KO record.

And they didn’t have to wait too long. When it came it was BRUTAL.
