Philadelphia, Penn. (March 5, 2018)--Despite a driving snowstorm, fans packed a sold-out SugarHouse Casino to watch the continued rise of bantamweight Christian Carto, as the 21 year-old remained perfect with a eight-round unanimous decision over James Smith.

The show, which took place this past Friday night was promoted by King's Promotions.

Carto was very sharp with his punches, and controlled the action against a willing opponent in Smith.

Carto used his full arsenal, as he was pinpoint with his jab, accurate with his books and worked the body effectively throughout the contest.

Brooker won by scores 79-73 twice and 77-75 to raise his mark to 13-5. Davis 16-13-1.
