Read full article: Alvarez stops Kovalev in 11th round to win 175-pound titleAlvarez landed a left-right late in the 11th round Saturday night, dropping Sergey Kovalev to the canvas and ending their light heavyweight title fight. Kovalev was left on his knees, his arms draped over the middle ring rope as the fight was stopped at 2:15 of the round. Kovalev was more than holding his own late in the fight and hadn't been hurt when Alvarez landed the left followed by a right. Both fighters fought cautiously for the most part, with Kovalev content to use his jab from long distance and Alvarez looking to land hooks to the body. Alvarez was a 4-1 favorite despite moving up two weight classes to fight for a piece of Kovalev's 175-pound title.
