Undefeated super lightweight Dalton Smith (17-0, 13 KOs) outgunned Walid Ouizza with a stream of accurate power shots that ended with a TKO after the bell to end round one. Smith won the vacant European 140-lb. title as well as retaining the WBC Silver Super Lightweight title.
Ouizza (19-3, 8 KOs) was rocked by several shot throughout the round, getting knocked off balance by single blows. Smith turned up the heat near the end of the round and it was too much for the Frenchman. Two knockdowns happened in the waning seconds, with the second one causing the referee to wave off the fight as Ouizza’s corner threw in the towel.
Dalton Smith won the WBC silver belt last March with a fifth-round stoppage of Jose Zepeda. Another impressive win today puts Smith in line for bigger bouts against the top 140-lbers.
