Canelo Álvarez vs. Amir Khan was a professional boxing match contested on May 7, 2016, for the WBC, The Ring magazine and lineal championship.[1][2][3] It was the first major sporting event to be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.[4] The fight was won by Álvarez, who scored a sixth-round knockout of Khan to retain his titles.

Background

This fight was Canelo Álvarez's first defense as the WBC and The Ring middleweight champion, and Amir Khan's first fight at middleweight after moving up two weight divisions from welterweight. A catchweight of 155 lb was in effect, at which Álvarez had fought for his previous four fights.

The UK broadcasting rights were awarded to BoxNation, exclusively.[5] It was also shown by Fathom Events at nearly 200 select movie theatres across the United States.[6][7]

Press conferences

The fight had international press conferences in three cities:[3][8]

Build up

On 2 February 2016, Golden Boy Promotions officially announced that Canelo Álvarez and Khan had reached an agreement to compete for Álvarez’s WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight titles. The bout was scheduled for 7 May, at a catchweight of 155 pounds, planned to headline an HBO pay-per-view event during the Cinco de Mayo weekend. Álvarez was committed to challenging elite opponents and acknowledged Khan’s credentials as both a decorated amateur and a two-time world champion. For Khan, the opportunity was meaningful, after struggling to secure high-profile bouts. Khan was confident that his speed and skill set would pose difficulties for Álvarez, even moving up in weight. Despite a history of tension between Golden Boy Promotions and Khan’s adviser, Al Haymon, negotiations were conducted directly with Khan’s team, and successfully arranged. Both fighters entered the fight on impressive winning streaks: Álvarez had four consecutive victories following his loss to Floyd Mayweather, while Khan had achieved five straight wins since moving up to welterweight. The event was planned for the newly constructed T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which had yet to host a boxing event. Golden Boy Promotions managed to successfully keep the details of the fight private despite the prevalence of social media leaks. De La Hoya noted that it was uncommon to maintain such confidentiality, stating his surprise that the announcement stayed under wraps for several weeks.[9][10][11] On February 4, the Nevada State Athletic Commission unanimously approved the bout for May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena. The contest was scheduled as the first boxing event at the newly opened venue.[12]

Despite Canelo's size and strength advantage, Khan was confident in his ability to secure a win, stating while a win over Canelo would hold greater significance than Mayweather's victory in 2013. Khan viewed it as a chance to reinforce his standing among the elite fighters globally. He studied Mayweather's strategy, which successfully mitigated Canelo's physical advantages through movement and defense. Khan was aware that Canelo would have gained additional experience and strength since that fight but maintained that his own speed and footwork would be crucial.[13] Khan and his father, Shah, stated that a proposed fight with Kell Brook was set aside in favor of a bout with Álvarez due to timing and greater opportunity. Khan said Brook’s team moved forward with another fight (with Kevin Bizier), allowing him to pursue Álvarez, which he described as a “massive opportunity.” Shah Khan added that a Brook fight could take place at a later date, while a fight with Álvarez represented a unique opportunity, and rejected suggestions that Khan had avoided Brook.[14]

Weight & rehydration clause

It was reported that the bout would be contested at a 155-pound catchweight without a rehydration clause. This allowed both fighters to regain unlimited weight after the weigh-in, despite concerns over size differences. Eric Gomez stated that Álvarez was naturally a super welterweight competing above his usual division due to title requirements.[15] Khan chose not to insist on a clause, saying, “I wanted to do everything naturally... I want to beat him fair and square.”[16] Eddie Hearn said, “There’s no rehydration clause, which is mad.” Canelo was likely to likely gain between 15–25 pounds after weigh-in.[17][18]

Álvarez stated that the weight was necessary because the title could not be defended at 154 pounds and that Khan had wanted the championship at stake.[19][20]

“We wanted to defend the title… we could not do it at 154… that is why we agreed to do it at that weight.”

— Canelo Álvarez

“We made it at 155 because Khan wanted to fight for my middleweight title.”

— Canelo Álvarez

“I didn’t want to eat myself up to that weight. I wanted to train my way up to 155.”

— Amir Khan

Khan, moving up from welterweight, indicated that the higher weight suited him, claiming he would not be weakened by weight-cutting and could perform without being drained.[21] There was some contradiction when Khan spoke to Fighthype.com, he said, "They told me it’s only going to happen at 155.” Khan tried to negotiate the fight at a lower weight between 152 and 154 pounds, but was ultimately told it would be 155 or no fight.[22]

Khan was open to competing at middleweight following this bout, although he maintained that welterweight remained his natural division. Khan stated that fighting at a higher weight could improve his performance by reducing the effects of weight cutting, but was also confident in returning to 147 pounds, if he wanted.[23][24] The WBC confirmed that if Khan won the middleweight title, he would have the option to either defend it against mandatory challenger Gennady Golovkin at 160 pounds or return to welterweight to challenge Danny Garcia. Golovkin’s team, however, stated that any potential bout would take place at the full middleweight limit with no catchweight agreement.[25][26]

Reaction

In the lead‑up to the fight, a range of boxers and analysts offered differing predictions. Former world champion Carl Froch stated that Khan could “pull off an even bigger shock and win,” citing his speed and movement as key factors.[27] Khan himself was confident that he would “make history” by defeating Álvarez.[28][29] In contrast, former four-division champion Erik Morales predicted that Khan would not last more than four rounds, mentioning the size disparity and his perceived vulnerability to punches.[30] A poll of British boxing figures found that most expected Álvarez to win, often by late stoppage, although some suggested Khan could enjoy early success due to his speed before being overwhelmed.[31]

Officials

The Nevada State Athletic Commission approved the officiating team for the championship bout. Kenny Bayless was appointed referee, with Adalaide Byrd, Glenn Trowbridge and Glenn Feldman selected as judges. Bayless was to earn $4,150 for the bout, while all three judges earned $2,950 each. None of the selected officials worked Álvarez’s previous fight with Miguel Cotto. Bayless had previously refereed Álvarez’s loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2013. Trowbridge had prior experience scoring fights involving both fighters, including Khan’s close win over Marcos Maidana and Álvarez’s bout against Shane Mosley.[32]

I am focused and 100 percent confident I can go in there and win it.”[34]

However, Álvarez gradually gained control by pressuring Khan and targeting the body. In the sixth round, Álvarez landed a decisive right hand to the chin, knocking Khan unconscious and prompting the referee to stop the fight at 2:37.[36][37]

Round 3

Khan remained mobile, forcing Álvarez to lunge in and miss many early shots. Khan got hit with a short left, but was left unfazed. Khan threw a hard left-right followed by a pair of jabs, then landed a sweeping left hook to the head. Álvarez did not appear hurt by the shots, but their speed appeared to be giving him issues. Khan remained just out of reach of another hard left hook from Álvarez. Khan threw a multi-punch flurry to the face, but Álvarez continued to walk through the attacks. Álvarez threw a hard right to the body, but Khan quickly countered upstairs with a forceful right and then a short left.

Khan landed another right, but Álvarez landed a right of his own to the body. Khan landed a triple jab to Álvarez. Álvarez missed a right, and was subsequently cracked by a forceful overhand left.

Round 6

Both fighters took turns missing meagre jabs early before Khan landed an errant left hook to Álvarez's ear. Álvarez returned fire with a right to the hip. Álvarez answered Khan's jab with a left hook. Khan appeared slightly dazed, and the fight changed pace, with Álvarez taking control. With a loss in manoeuvrability, Khan sought to establish a buffer zone with jabs. Álvarez used the opportunity to land a couple of body shots to Khan, slowing his movement. Khan's head seemed to be clearing, but he had not regained the body movement which protected him so well earlier in the bout. Álvarez feinted a body jab as a cover to load a right hook, but Khan parried the jab with both hands. The jab was withdrawn and Khan was left off balance with both hands down. Álvarez feinted another jab and landed an overhand right, dropping Khan unconscious. Bayless did not count as the ringside staff, including doctors, stormed the ring.[39]

Post-fight

During the post‑fight, when asked about the frustrating start and how he managed to change momentum, Álvarez said, “He is a fast fighter, and I knew things would be complicated in beginning .. But I knew they would come to my favor as the fight went on. People have known me only for my power. I have many more qualities in the ring and I showed that.”[40]

Khan urged Álvarez to face unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin, stating that it was “time for Canelo to step up” and meet the division’s leading contender. Khan was positive on his own performance, noting that he had trained hard and taken a significant risk by moving up in weight. He acknowledged that he was “naturally a lighter fighter” and intended to return to the welterweight division. He wanted to challenge elite opponents, adding that “to be the best I have to fight the best.”[41]

Álvarez turned his attention to a potential unification bout with Golovkin, who was present at ringside as the WBC interim champion and mandatory challenger. Álvarez invited Golovkin into the ring after the fight and stated that he was willing to face any opponent, declaring that he “fear[ed] no one in this sport.”[40]

Alvarez was ahead on two scorecards, 49–46 and 48–47. Khan was ahead 48–47 on the third scorecard. ESPN.com had Khan ahead 48–47.[42][43]

Aftermath

Khan admitted the size disparity was decisive, but accepted responsibility for taking the fight.[44] He believed he was ahead in the fight before the knockout and disagreed with official judges’ scorecards. He preferred a knockout loss over a controversial decision defeat. He said, “In a way I’m glad I got knocked out rather than… got cheated at the end of it.”[45] He stated the KO as something he could accept, arguing that long fights with sustained punishment are more harmful in the long term long-term.[46][47]

In October 2016, following a period of inactivity due to hand surgery, Khan stated that he intended to return to the welterweight division the following summer. He identified potential comeback opponents as Kell Brook and Danny Garcia, describing a bout with Brook as "the biggest fight remaining" in his career, while also wanting to stage the contest in the United Kingdom.[48]
