Canelo Alvarez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/canelo-alvarez/] is widely recognized as one of the most dominant fighters in modern boxing by enthusiasts worldwide. The fighter boasts a remarkable record of 58 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, positioning himself as a force to be reckoned with inside the ring. Despite receiving adulation for his knockouts, one particular strike has persisted in Canelo’s memory for an extended period. During a recent upload on the DAZN Boxing channel on YouTube, Canelo Alvarez divulged the details about a particular knockout that lingered on his mind and the emotions he experienced following the event. CANELO ALVAREZ FELT SORRY AFTER KNOCKING OUT AMIR KHAN In the video titled “Canelo Álvarez reacts to his 5 greatest KOs!” posted on DAZN Boxing’s YouTube channel, Canelo discusses his five most memorable knockouts. However, when it comes to the fight against Amir Khan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/amir-khan/], Canelo’s tone changes. “I really feel sorry for Amir Khan, but uh he was in my way,” Canelo says. “So I needed to finish somehow, and this is how I finished the fight, but I feel sorry for him.” The statement is particularly noteworthy as it reveals a level of sympathy and kindness that is not typically associated with boxers, who are frequently perceived as fierce and merciless inside the ring. Moreover, Canelo’s words serve as a reminder of the potential dangers of boxing, where a single punch can drastically alter a fighter’s future. Bent on Avenging Dmitry Bivol Loss [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-he-brought-the-animal-back-teammate-says-canelo-alvarez-is-hell-bent-on-avenging-dmitry-bivol-loss/] One of the most eagerly anticipated fights of the year took place on May 7, 2016, between Canelo and Khan. Khan was stepping up two weight classes for the fight and was competing against Canelo for the WBC middleweight championship. Khan was quick and agile, but Canelo’s power was too much for him, and in the sixth round, he delivered a devastating knockout blow. AMIR KHAN ON FIGHTING CANELO ALVAREZ: “MY BEST SHOT DIDN’T HURT HIM” In hindsight of his bout with Canelo Alvarez, Amir Khan discussed the trials he faced while confronting the Mexican sensation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-i-thought-oh-s-amir-khan-recalls-his-fight-against-canelo-alvarez/]. Khan confessed that despite his earnest attempts, he was unable to inflict any significant harm on Canelo with his most formidable punches, and had to resort to evasive tactics in order to prevent incurring too much damage. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/boxing-news-boxing-legend-mike-tyson-announces-return/] Khan also commended Canelo’s swiftness and footwork, attributes that he believed were frequently overlooked by others. It was evident that Khan held his adversary in high regard, evidenced by his mention of Canelo’s impressive punching strength and ability to withstand blows. Although Khan ultimately lost the fight, his remarks indicated that he acknowledged the talents of his opponent.
