Amir Khan had to climb off the canvas to continue his comeback with a points win over Samuel Vargas in Birmingham. Colombian-born Vargas had already been put down himself when he stunned Khan and the capacity crowd. But, with potential next opponent Kell Brook watching at ringside, Khan recovered and floored Vargas again. The second round was only 20 seconds old when Vargas hit the canvas, sent on his way by a fearsome left jab. KHAN WINS ON POINTS Amir Khan defeats Samuel Vargas on points after both men were floored early on.
