In a fight packed with action from the opening bell, Argentina’s Braian Argüello captured the WBA Fedelatin Super Featherweight Championship with a sixth-round technical knockout victory over the dangerous Neri Cruz, bringing the contest to an emphatic conclusion halfway through the scheduled distance.

The bout was fought at a furious pace from the outset. Cruz attempted to establish control behind his reach and straight punches, but Argüello quickly seized the center of the ring and began targeting the body with heavy shots. That relentless pressure paid dividends, and by the fourth round it was clear that Argüello’s speed and aggression were beginning to dismantle his opponent’s defense.

The finish arrived in round six. Sensing that Cruz was fading, Argüello launched a sustained attack at close quarters. A powerful combination culminated with a crushing overhand right to the head that left Cruz badly hurt.

Recognizing that Cruz was no longer capable of defending himself intelligently, the referee stepped in and waved off the contest.

With the victory, Braian Argüello not only adds the WBA Fedelatin title to his collection but also positions himself for bigger opportunities on the international stage as he continues his rise through the 130-pound division.
