Crawford stops Khan

American Terence Crawford retained his WBO welterweight title on Saturday, stopping Amir Khan in the sixth round when the Englishman was unable to continue because of an accidental low blow. Crawford, who was making the second defense of his title, had little trouble controlling the fight and winning by a technical knockout against the overmatched Khan. Crawford has now won nine of his last 11 fights by stoppage and Saturday’s surprise ending happened after he hit Khan with a hard left to the groin 47 seconds into the sixth round at Madison Square Garden in New York. Khan buckled and was in obvious pain as he went over to his corner. During the stoppage, Khan’s trainer Virgil Hunter asked him if he wanted to continue and Khan said no.
