Alvarez content to sit in guard, stalling... Great. Oh but he could get punished here because Crescenzo has locked up a guillotine! Crescenzo's face is contorted as he sqeezes tight on the submission attempt - will he finish? Alvarez is holding on here and Crescenzo must be using up a lot of energy. Alvarez has gone limp! He's out! He's out cold! Crescenzo gets to his feet, tossing aside his stricken foe. Arms raised, he milks the applause from the crowd. Great submission!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Francesco Crescenzo! |
