Unbeaten super lightweight contender Alberto Puello (20-0, 10 KOs) cruised to a unanimous decision over VeShawn Owens (13-3, 12 KOs) in their 10-round contest.
Puello controlled the action with exceptional punching accuracy, landing 39% of his shots compared to 16% from Owens. While Owens looked to disrupt his opponent with awkward movement, Puello was undeterred on his way to a 171 to 78 punch advantage.
“The strategy was always just to stay smart,” said Puello. “I knew that I just had to keep moving and execute my plan. As the fight went on, I could see that he wanted to fight toe-to-toe, so I adjusted and stood up to him.”
The movement of Owens nearly got him in trouble early, as he was tagged with an accidental elbow that caused a cut over his right eye in round two. He was able to weather that difficulty, but was kept at bay by a consistent body attack from Puello, which opened Owens up to left and right hooks to the head.
“I could never get in my rhythm,” said Owens. “I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t get my timing down. I got him good a few times, but I couldn’t capitalize. He was sharper than I expected, but he wasn’t too fast or too powerful. I just couldn’t get my timing going. He was the sharper fighter and he knew what he was doing. He was game and I take my hat off to him. It was all me. No excuses, he was the better man.”
After 10 rounds, the judges scored the fight 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92, all in favor of Puello, who scored the victory in Owens’ hometown of Minneapolis.
“I’m ready for all the top 140 pounders,” said Puello. “I’m just going to take it fight by fight, but they all know now that I’m ready for any of them.”

I can’t believe im watching this whole fight till the end. This guy Puello didn’t stop this guy!? Common man. It’s pathetic.
Puello will have his hands full against a hard punching awkward fighter like Rolly Romero.
This guy allowing that dude to be laying all over him on top of him for the whole fight. Get out of here man. I’m not having that. But I made it to the 9th round so I might aswell finish the fight. I only continued watching thinking and expecting that Puello would stop this man. He kept playing around with him or just working on too much moving and defending and covering up when he should have been banging and stopping that man. Atleast stop him from leaning all over him constantly. Man get off me boy!!!
He throws one shot, maybe 2 at times and keeps moving. No man just stop, plant your feet and throw 4 big shots and then stay there, don’t move. You can stop that man. I don’t even know how that other guy knocked out 14 of his 15 opponents. Man they must have really been some boring fighters and weak.
Puello moves too much. Ducking too much. He had to keep throwing that left uppercut more and more and also load up his right in the same way. He doesn’t load up his right like he does his left. The fight is over. WHY AM I HERE!!!!? I’m outta of here. Goodness gracious.
38 min I won’t get back.
Le ganó al boxeador y al referí
buena pelea … pero el albitro excelente.
Puello is MASSIVELY underrated.
