Dalton Smith vs. Alberto Puello full card results as Sheffield boxing hero retains WBC title via split-decision
- On Saturday, WBC light-welterweight champion Dalton Smith retained his title with a 12-round split decision over challenger Alberto Puello at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield.
- Smith, who moved to 20-0 after stopping Subriel Matias in January, faced former two-time champion Puello in a contest originally delayed from June due to an elbow injury.
- Two judges scored the bout 115-113 for Smith, while the third had Puello winning 116-112, reflecting a tactical fight where the challenger's southpaw movement effectively countered the champion's offense.
- During the final round, Smith engaged in showboating while Puello continued to press, a choice that drew criticism as the challenger's stronger finish fueled arguments against the narrow verdict.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn floated WBO champion Shakur Stevenson as a potential opponent, while Smith reiterated his desire to headline at his beloved Sheffield Wednesday club's Hillsborough stadium.
