Professional career

Cuello made his professional debut on September 26, 2004, against Marlon Villanueva. The bout took place at the Taytay Gym in Taytay, Rizal and ended in a technical draw early in the fight.

He won the vacant WBC International minimumweight title on April 19, 2009, defeating Japanese boxer Hiroshi Matsumoto via technical knockout in the 4th round. The bout was held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. He later took on Ruslee Samoh in a non-title bout and won by unanimous dedicion. Cuello defended his title for the first time on November 27, 2009, against Mating Kilakil at the Ynares Plaza Gymnasium in Binangonan, Rizal, Philippines. The defending champion won the fight by technical knockout, again in round 4.

He was scheduled to fight Juan Hernandez from Mexico for the interim WBC minimumweight title on March 27, 2010. The match would be held in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.^[1]^[2] However the bout was postponed after the Mexican opponent collapsed in the gym and confined in a hospital. Cuello's manager, Aljoe Jaro, said he'll arrange a tune-up fight for his boxer the fight is delayed over a month.^[3]

On March 26, 2011, Cuello defended his WBC championship belt against Samat Chaiyong from Thailand at the Angono Gym in Angono, Rizal. He stopped the Thai challenger via a TKO on the 9th round with the referee stopping the match with still one minute and 12 seconds left in the round. The win improved Cuello's record to 26 wins (with 16 coming by way of knockout) against four losses and six draws.^[4]
