Berchelt released from hospital after brutal Valdez KO

Mexican super-featherweight boxer Miguel Berchelt has been released from hospital following his vicious knockout at the hands of Oscar Valdez.

Promoters Top Rank confirmed the 29-year-old's CT scan had come back clear, allaying fears after Berchelt lost his WBC belt in brutal fashion.

Valdez dethroned his compatriot at the MGM Grand on Saturday, flooring Berchelt with devastating left hook in the final second of the 10th round.

Having knocked down Berchelt twice earlier in the fight, Valdez finally landed the decisive blow to leave his opponent lying unconscious on the canvas for a few tense moments in Las Vegas.
