Watch it: Canelo Alvarez’s KO of Avni Yildirim from canvas level

Here is a video of Canelo Alvarez’s knockout of Avni Yildirim from canvas level.

Canelo Alvarez had dominated Avni Yildirim for two-plus rounds when he landed the decisive punch Saturday in Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The Mexican champion landed a left jab followed by a straight right that split Yildirim’s guard and sent the Turkish challenger to the canvas about a minute into Round 3.

Yildirim survived the round but evidently couldn’t recover sufficiently to continue fighting. His corner stopped the bout before the start of Round 4.

Here is a look at the knockdown from canvas level.
