Order now on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\nInstead, Canelo\u2019s stablemate Bek Nurmaganbet scored a scary KO win over Alvarez\u2019s compatriot Marcos Vazquez Rodriguez.<\/p>\n
Undefeated Nurmaganbet, 28, who moves to 17-0, poleaxed Vazquez with three seconds remaining of the opening round with two devastating short hooks.<\/p>\n
The referee immediately waved off the contest as Vazquez laid motionless underneath the ropes.<\/p>\n
There has been no official update on Vazquez\u2019s condition, but according to Mexican media reports he received medical attention and oxygen during the aftermath of the bout.<\/p>\n
It is understood he left the ring unaided after receiving treatment.<\/p>\n
The commentators on DAZN referred to the finish as \u201cdangerous\u201d and described Vazquez as being \u201cout cold\u201d.<\/p>\n
Fans on social media also reacted in their droves, with Chris Machado saying: \u201cDamn, that\u2019s some vicious power!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cyprus Isles Fans added: \u201cThat was absolutely brutal, I had to watch it three times, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Play Elevyn responded: \u201cSee ya later. Wow.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Superbeast MMA said: \u201cKNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR CONTENDER?!\u201d<\/p>\n
The knockout is Nurmaganbet\u2019s 15th in 17 fights \u2014 and his 13 successive stoppage victory as he continues to grow his reputation as a concussive puncher.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, four-weight world champion Canelo got the nod on all three judges scorecards against Mbilli as they ruled it 116-111, 117-110 and 115-112 in favour of the Mexican superstar.<\/p>\n
It is his first fight since losing to Terence Crawford in September last year, and he now holds a record of 61 wins, three defeats and two draws.<\/p>\n
Following the fight, he called for a rematch with Crawford \u2014 who retired after his win over Canelo.<\/p>\n
Alvarez said: \u201cHopefully, yes (we can do the rematch). We would honestly love to have that rematch, like I\u2019ve told you.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf not, we\u2019ll keep moving forward with our career, but hopefully that fight can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saul \u201cCanelo\u201d Alvarez\u2019s win over Christian Mbilli has been marred by a sickening knockout on his undercard.
