Prediction, pick for Dalton Smith vs. Alberto Puello

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Today in Sheffield, United Kingdom, Dalton Smith is defending the Super Lightweight WBC Championship against Alberto Puello. Sheffield native Smith enters the fight with his undefeated 19-0 record intact, while Puello is 25-1. The main card begins at 2:00 p.m. ET, with the Main Event ring walks expected to start at 5:15 p.m. ET, airing on DAZN. 

Check out my best bet below for today’s boxing fight between Dalton Smith vs. Alberto Puello.

Dalton Smith by KO/TKO/DQ (+380)

Puello is a former WBC Super Lightweight Champion and will try to regain the title against Smith. In July 2025, Puello suffered his first career loss to Subriel Matias. But after that, Puello bounced back with a fourth-round knockout victory over Miguel Angel Bolano in July. 

Smith captured the WBC Super Lightweight title after knocking out Subriel Matias in the fifth round in January at the Barclays Center. After a fight in the United States, Smith will return to his home country for the first time since beating Mathieu Germain in April 2025. 

In this fight on DraftKings Sportsbook, Smith is -190, with Puello at +150. This contest has an over/under of 10.5 rounds, with the over at -425 and the under at +275. Both fighters in this bout are the same height, 5’9.5″. 

Since four of Smith’s previous five wins have come by knockout, I’m taking him to beat Puello by KO/TKO/DQ at +380, which is a great value play. Also, seven of Smith’s last 10 victories have come by knockout. Yes, Puello has never been finished before, but Smith’s pressure and power should be too much for him to handle in this fight.
