Early in the fight, Khan’s speed caused problems for the champion. He darted in and out with fast combinations, landing clean punches and even taking rounds on the scorecards while Canelo patiently stalked forward looking for the perfect counter. In the sixth round, Canelo finally found the opening. As Khan stepped in to attack, Canelo unleashed a devastating right hand that landed flush and instantly knocked Khan unconscious, ending the fight in dramatic fashion. 📍 Date: May 7, 2016 📍 Venue: T-Mobile Arena 📍 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA 🏆 Result: Canelo Álvarez def.
