Amir Khan's world middleweight title dreams finished in the anguish of thrashing in Las Vegas when WBC champion Saul Alvarez seized him with an overwhelming knockout in the 6th round. Amir Khan endured a knockout just as ruthless as the first of his vocation here on Saturday night when Saul "Canelo Álvarez" strung a chilling right hand on to his quickly uncovered jaw in the 6th round to leave the Briton silly on the canvas for two or three stressing minutes.



"I'm OK, I'm OK," Khan told his concerned corner in the wake of rising – however the tears streamed as he loaned his head on the shoulder of his coach, Virgil Hunter, knowing a brief moment slip in focus had fixed all his great early work, as he "set out to be incredible" by going up two weights to challenge the Mexican for his reality middleweight title.

The Scorecards

Amir Khan was behind on two of the three judges' scorecards before his ruthless KO by Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Judge Glenn Trowbridge had Khan down 49-46, which appeared to be cruel in the compelling, while Glenn Feldman scored it 48-47 to Canelo. Adalaide Byrd had it 48-47, which appeared a much more pleasant impression of the initial five rounds.
