Khan started brilliantly. An opening salvo was followed by a right which floored the Canadian. No sooner did Lo Greco stagger to his feet than Khan battered him into submission. It was the most sensational return imaginable.
The contest was the first for Khan in two years, after dealing with personal issue and rehabilitation for surgery on his hand.
He was last seen in action back in May of 2016, when he was knocked out cold in the sixth round, at a catch-weight of 155-pounds, by then WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
