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

In one of the most notable fights of the card held in Villa María, Córdoba province, the Santa Fe native Alan “El Rusito” Crenz (16-2-0, 15 KOs) asserted himself convincingly in the super lightweight division, winning by technical knockout in the first round against the Buenos Aires native Marcos “Escopeta” Villafañe (7-9-1, 2 KOs). The bout 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 outset, Crenz came out determined to set the tone. The question was how long Villafañe could withstand it, and the answer came quickly. The fighter from Santa Fe, accompanied by his son and his father — the former boxer César Crenz — showcased his excellent form and, weighing in at 64.900 kg, achieved a resounding victory on Cordoban soil.

In the first minute of action, “El Rusito” began to create separation with straight, accurate punches, taking the initiative away from the experienced Villafañe. Those in attendance 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 overhand right that sent the Buenos Aires native to the canvas. Villafañe managed to get back up, but he was clearly feeling the damage.

Seconds later, another powerful right hand dropped him again, forcing referee Jorge González to stop the fight and declare a technical knockout, prioritizing the safety of the boxer from Beccar. It was the right call: two knockdowns in a matter of seconds sealed a brief but intense bout.

Thus, Crenz returned to fight in Argentina and did so in the best possible way, celebrating the win alongside his father and his coach Carlos Lemos, son of the late José Lino Lemos. The Santa Fe fighter reaffirmed that his fifteen wins by the fast route are no coincidence.

“I think the fight could have gone on a bit longer, but I’m very happy to get back to winning. The experience in Saudi Arabia was demanding, on another level, but it left me with many lessons. Against Utria it was tough, I came in injured, but now I’m in great shape. As long as the promoter decides, I’ll keep fighting in the country without any issues,”said the boxer from Club Atlético Colón.
