Unbeaten American Dante Selby (2-0-1) managed to narrowly overcome journeyman Zeferino Albino (4-18-3, 2) via 4 round majority decision. This result doesn't bode well for Selby who was expected to score a pretty clearcut victory.
I disagree Selby if I'm correct and I believe I am had no amateur experience so this was his 3 fight while albino who was in his 26th professional fight (who fought most of those against unbeaten prospects) has always proven to be a tough fight who finds a way to make it competitive and does just enough to lose
Great win for Selby

Selby indeed had no amateur experience. Albino however is 36 and a "professional" loser. Whilst many losses did come to unbeaten fighters he did also lose to the likes of William Miranda, Lamont Barnes, Bobby Rooney (at Light Heavyweight), Joe McReedy (again around Light Heavyweight).
So he's older, naturally smaller and rarely wins a round.
I think there was also high expectation after Selby defeated Daniel Pasciolla who was tipped by some as a potential prospect to watch.

The name of the game is win!!! Experience means something in boxing and you pick up some knowledge every time you're in the ring that guy with the 25 fights 4 wins (which are more than Selby) has a reputation for hanging on out of those 18 losses he's only been ko'ed 3 times and stopped on cuts twice I believe either way this was Selbys 3rd fight and no amateur's so he's still learning in the ring and winning while he's doing it I'm sure his camp is more than happy with that as they should be the name of the game is win!!!! I wouldn't count him out so soon
