Canelo Alvarez vs Amir Khan undercard live results

As the world prepares for the Canelo Alvarez-Amir Khan fight, catch up on the live results on the undercard from the T-Mobile Arena.

Canelo-Khan is finally here. The first fight from the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is a huge one, being billed as “Power vs. Speed.”

Before the main event, HBO PPV is presenting a three-fight undercard. We’ll bring you live results as they happen here on FanSided, so be sure to refresh regularly to get the latest from Vegas.

Patrick Teixeira vs. Curtis Stevens, Middleweight

In what appeared to be a classic case of an undefeated prospect finding out his true talent level, the undefeated Teixeira (26-0-0) stepped up to face the veteran Stevens (27-5-0), loser of two of his last four fights — including a stoppage loss to boxing’s biggest current sensation, Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.

It did not go well for Teixeira. After appearing to be stunned by a jab in Round 1, Teixeira was dropped in Round 2, and appeared out on his feet when he rose. The referee called it off, and while the victory might not necessarily catapult Stevens on to bigger and better things (besides apparently sharing the “Cerebral Assassin” nickname with wrestler Triple H), it does mean anyone on the Teixeira bandwagon can comfortably hop off.

Frankie Gomez vs. Mauricio Herrera, Welterweight

Like the previous bout, this was a matchup between an undefeated fighter, Gomez (20-0-0) and a veteran, Herrera (22-5-0). The HBO announcers mentioned the fact that Gomez was called “my next Manny Pacquiao” by trainer Freddie Roach, though he had done little to truly warrant that label thus far.

In Round 2, Herrera was cut and appeared to be discouraged by a Gomez left hand. HBO’s Harold Lederman gave all of the first three rounds to Herrera.

Round 5 saw Gomez pick up his offensive output, and while Herrera’s corner tried to urge him on, the cameras caught him with a look of dismay on his stool. He continued to come forward in Round 7, but without throwing anything that bothered Gomez at all.

The only question once the fight ended and went to the cards was whether or not Gomez would pitch a shutout. He did, taking all three offficial cards by identical 100-90 scores.

David Lemieux vs. Glen Tapia, Middleweight

Breaking the mold set by the other undercard fights, both Lemieux (34-3-0) and Tapia (23-2-0), entered the night at similar points in their careers — and not just because both men had been stopped in ther most recent appearances. Lemieux came out throwing big punches with both hands, appently unfazed by being knocked around by GGG.

After weathering that early storm, Tapia came out in Round 2 looking more assertive, but Lemieux turned things in his favor about halfway through. Roy Jones and Max Kellerman were both impressed with the volume and variety of punches Lemieux was throwing with his left hand, though Tapia began turning it into more of a two-way affair in the final minute of Round 3.

In Round 4, a left-right combo knocked Tapia down for the first time in his career, and the referee did not let him continue. Lemieux added another KO to his record, with the stoppage coming at 0:56 of Round 4.
