A huge overhand right from Canelo caught Khan, putting him to sleep<\/a> in the sixth round of their fight.<\/p>\n The Mexican fight icon almost instantly went to check on his opponent, who he feared may have suffered a potentially fatal injury due to the nature of the knockout. <\/p>\n \u201cWith Amir Khan, he scared me a little,\u201d Canelo said during a DAZN documentary in 2022. <\/p>\n \u201cI felt a bit worried. I actually went over to see if he was okay. It was the natural reaction. <\/p>\n \u201cThe knockout was too strong. And on top of that, when he fell to the canvas, he twisted his neck badly.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, I thought something more than a knockout had happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Amir Khan predicts Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford <\/p>\n Khan recently offered his unique perspective on Canelo\u2019s upcoming fight with Terence Crawford<\/a>. <\/p>\n Two of boxing\u2019s biggest stars are set to clash in the fight of the year on September 13 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Khan is the only man who has fought both fighters<\/a>. After recovering from his brutal KO loss to Canelo, he was stopped in six rounds by Terence Crawford<\/a>, who was loudly booed after landing a horror low blow<\/a> to win their April 2019 fight.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to support my boy, Terence Crawford. He\u2019s a good friend of mine. I think he can do it. He has a great boxing IQ, his IQ is perfect, and he can see everything,\u201d Khan recently told The Ring. <\/p>\n \u201cCrawford does hit hard. A lot of people don\u2019t give Crawford the credit for the punch power he has.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been in the ring with him, he\u2019s hit me hard. Obviously, the most powerful fighter between the two is going to be Canelo, but I think Crawford still has enough power to hurt Canelo and push him back, and that he is there in front of him as a challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez has scored 39 wins by knockout during his legendary 67-fight boxing career.
