Canelo vs. Khan: Curtis Stevens blasts Patrick Teixeira by second round KO

Saturday night from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo Alvarez will defend the WBC middleweight title for the first time when he faces off against two-division world champion Amir Khan.

Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) won the WBC title in November defeating Miguel Cotto by unanimous decision. This is first time Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) has fought above 147 pounds and will look to become only the second fighter to defeat the Mexican superstar.
