Santo Tomé's Alan Crenz began Latin super-lightweight reign with a big KO | OneFootball

Alan David Crenz of Santa Fe (18-2-0, 17 KOs) knocked out Mexico’s Juan Carlos “Bronco” Sánchez López (9-3-1, 6 KOs) in the third round at the Argentine Boxing Federation Stadium and retained his IBF Latin super lightweight title.

A clean right hand to the Aztec’s chin early in round 3 ended a fight that, from the opening exchanges, was already clearly favoring “Rusito.”

In this way, the Argentine boxer made the first defense of the IBF Latin super lightweight belt he won last February 14 in his victory over fellow Mexican Víctor Quezada.

At 25 years old, “El Rusito,” the fighter from Santo Tomé, remains one of the country’s most important knockout artists, with a 95% stoppage rate in his victories.

In addition, this win helps him seek to reestablish himself, after his appearance in last year’s WBC Grand Prix, in the 140-pound division within the International Boxing Federation rankings, which currently has no reigning champion.
