Dalton Smith maintained his undefeated professional record this past Saturday by defeating Alberto Puello to retain his WBC light-welterweight championship. The bout, which took place over the scheduled distance, was decided by the judges' scorecards, resulting in a split-decision win for Smith.

The fight was characterized by competitive exchanges between the two boxers, leading to a closely contested outcome. While the official result favored Smith, the split-decision nature of the verdict indicates that the ringside judges were not unanimous in their assessment of the performance. This victory allows Smith to continue his current winning streak and hold onto his position as the WBC titleholder in the light-welterweight division.
