Alan Crenz returns to the ring in Argentina with a convincing win | OneFootball

In one of the most notable fights of the evening held in Villa María, Córdoba province, the Santa Fe native Alan "El Rusito" Crenz (16-2-0, 15 KO) asserted his authority in the super lightweight category by defeating the Buenos Aires native Marcos "Escopeta" Villafañe (7-9-1, 2 KO) by technical knockout in the first round. The fight was part of the program The Legend Continues, promoted by Osvaldo Rivero (OR Promotions), and took place at the Club Atlético Florentino Ameghino.

From the start, Crenz came out determined to set the pace. The question was how long Villafañe would last, and the answer came quickly. The Santa Fe fighter, accompanied by his son and his father —the former boxer César Crenz—, showed his great form and, weighing 64.900 kg, achieved a resounding victory on Cordoban soil.

In the first minute of action, "El Rusito" began to make a difference with straight and precise punches, taking the initiative away from the experienced Villafañe. Those present sensed that the knockout could come at any moment. Without rushing, Crenz gained ground until, just over a minute before the end of the round, he landed a double right cross that sent the Buenos Aires native to the canvas. Villafañe managed to get back up but was already showing signs of feeling the punishment.

Seconds later, another powerful right knocked him down again, forcing referee Jorge González to stop the fight and declare the technical knockout, prioritizing the integrity of the Beccar boxer. It was a wise decision: two knockdowns in a few seconds marked the end of a brief but intense fight.

Thus, Crenz fought again in Argentina and did so in the best way, celebrating the victory with his father and his trainer Carlos Lemos, son of the remembered José Lino Lemos. The Santa Fe native reaffirmed that his fifteen victories by knockout are no coincidence.

"I think the fight could have gone on a bit longer, but I'm very happy to return to victory. The experience in Arabia was demanding, of another level, but it left me with many lessons. Facing Utria was tough, I arrived injured, but now I'm in great shape. As long as the promoter allows it, I will continue fighting in the country without any issues," expressed the boxer from Club Atlético Colón.
