Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he hopes for the obligatory Dalton Smith (18-0, 13 KO) to fight the WBC WBC Alberto Puello welterweight champion in the next 12-round unanimous decision on Mathieu Germanain (26-3-1, 11 KO) on Saturday evening at Park Community Arena in Sheffield in England.

Puello then?

Hearn states that Puello has a voluntary defense that he can take first before he defends himself against Smith, but thinks that it is possible that he will want to face him after watching him less than a spectacular win on Germain. Dalton looked good in this fight, but he failed to get a knockout that he needed interest in the clash between him and Puello.

Smith was three times knocked by Germain in the competition, once in the second round, eleven and twelve years. The results are 119-105, 119-105 and 117-107.

Hearn did not mention who Dalton could face the next one if he couldn’t make the title shot against Puello. It would be wise to get the best possible, willing opponent. It will not be straightforward, because Smith hits demanding and he is a real welterweight. He should fight in this division, not at the age of 140. Tonight he looked like a diminutive younger average weight.

He can come down to how much Hearn is ready to pay to get a pretender to fight Smith. If it is economical or does not want him to be tested for fear that he lost, he will probably analyze the division of 140 pounds for the clone of the Germans so that he can fight in the following. In other words, Hearn will kick another can of tomato so that Smith looks like a solid 24 -year gold.

“Definitely Puello or definitely the title of WBC, whoever has it,” said the promoter Eddie Hearn Seconds Asked who Dalton Smith would fight after the victory over Mathieu Germanain on Saturday evening in Sheffield.

Negotiations before negotiations

It doesn’t matter what Hearn wants. If Puello has no money to fight Smith, he won’t. He is a real warrior of 140 pounds and will not want to fight a guy who should fight at the age of 147. If Hearn intends to offer Puello Chump to change the fight with Smith in Sheffield before a huge crowd of Pro-Smith, he will not agree.

“Puello will be obliged to fight Dalton, but he just won the fight. So he will be able to voluntarily [defense]Hearn said. “It was a solid Dalton performance. Not spectacular. And sometimes when you have these performances, it makes you fight him now, not in September or October. I hope so, but we’ll see.”

Hillsborough is a huge stadium. Dalton was doing well in the arenas. There was a good crowd tonight, but I think that the challenge of the world title appears in the Sheffield Arena. I think the city is behind this fight for the title of WBC. I think he [Smith] It can fill it.

“Then, when you go to larger fights, you can talk about Hillsborough. If you fight Teo, Richardson Hitchins in Unification or Ryan Garcia or this kind of fight. As we saw with Kell Brook against Errol Spence, who can do 25,000 plus,” said Hearn.
