VIDEO: Canelo Alvarez Knocks Out Sergey Kovalev in 11th Round With Vicious Right Hook

Canelo Alvarez lacked reach in this fight, yet the Mexican boxer followed through on his gameplan and was able to walk away with a victory. Sergey Kovalev lasted until the 11th round against Alvarez, but an unsuspected combo featuring an angled left hook and an incredibly well-timed right hook from Canelo sent the Russian crashing half way out the ring.
