Dalton Smith manteve o cinturão meio-médio-ligeiro do WBC em uma decisão dividida sobre Alberto Puello diante da torcida da casa em Sheffield.

As cartelas marcaram 115-113 e 115-113 para o inglês, e 116-112 para o dominicano, então o veredito só se resolveu quando as notas foram anunciadas na Utilita Arena.

Foi a primeira defesa do lutador de 29 anos desde que parou Subriel Matias em cinco rounds no Brooklyn, em janeiro, e levou seu cartel profissional a 20 vitórias sem derrota.

Puello, 32 anos e canhoto, só havia perdido para Matias. Ele apostou em movimentação e contragolpes, e Smith terminou cortado sob o olho direito, mas o volume maior do inglês pareceu decidir os rounds mais apertados.

Com o compromisso obrigatório resolvido, Smith pode seguir atrás de uma noite de destaque em Hillsborough. Os nomes em jogo incluem o campeão invicto da WBO Shakur Stevenson, o dono do cinturão da WBA Gary Antuanne Russell e o rival britânico Adam Azim, com quem Smith gostaria de lutar em 2027.
