“Definitely puello or the title of WBC”: Eddie Hearn discusses the upcoming steps of Dalton Smith after the least spectacular victory over Germain

Promoter Eddie Hearn says he hopes Dalton Smith (18-0, 13 kos) fighting WBC Light Welterweight, Alberto Puello, after his 12-round unanimous decision on Mathieu Germain (26-3-1, 11 kos) on Saturday night at the Parkfield Park Community arena, Anglaterra.

PUELLO Next?

Hearn claims that Puello has a voluntary defense that he can take first before defending himself from Smith, but he thinks he may want to face him after seeing his less spectacular victory over Germain. Dalton looked good in this struggle, but he failed to mark the tie he needed to create an interest in a clash between him and Puello.

Smith demolished Germain three times in the contest, once in rounds two, eleven and twelve. The scores were 119-105, 119-105 and 117-107.

Hearn did not mention who he could face -in Dalton if he can’t get the title against Puello. Would be smart for him to get the best rival possible. This will not be easy because Smith hits strong, and it is a real heavy weight. Should fight in this division instead of 140 years. Tonight, it looked like a small medium weight.

You could reduce the amount of Hearn you are willing to pay to get a contestant to fight Smith. If it will be cheap or if you do not want to test it for fear it will lose, it will probably start from the division of 140 pounds by a germini clone so that it will fight later. In other words, Hearn will excavate another can of tomato so that Smith looks like a 24k solid gold.

“Definitely puello or definitely the WBC title, who has it,” said promoter Eddie Hearn According to When asked by Dalton Smith will fight after his victory about Mathieu Germain on Saturday night at Sheffield.

Negotiations ahead

No matter what Hearn wants. If the money is not there for Puello to fight against Smith, he will not. He is a real 140-pound fighter and will not be eager to fight a boy who should fight in 147. If Hearn will offer a change of Puello Chump to fight Smith in Sheffield in front of a large Pro-Smith crowd, he will not accept the fight.

“Puello will be forced to fight Dalton, but he has just won the fight. So a volunteer (defense) will be allowed,” said Hearn. “It was a solid performance of Dalton. Not spectacular. And sometimes, when you have these performances, you will fight you against him, more than in September or in October. I hope yes, but we will see it.”

Hillsborough is a great stage. Dalton has done well in the sand. There was a good crowd tonight, but I think the world title challenge comes to Sheffield Arena. I think the city is behind this struggle for the WBC title. I think he (Smith) can fill it.

“Then when you go to older fights, you can talk about Hillsborough. If you are fighting against Teo, Richardson Hitchins in unification, or Ryan Garcia, or these types of fights. As we saw with Kell Brook against Errol that can do 25,000 more,” said Hearn.
