“Definitely Powello or the WBC title”: Eddie Hearn discusses the next steps of Dalton Smith after less than a baked victory over Germain

Eddie Hearn promoter says he hopes for the obligatory Dalton Smith (18-0, 13 kos) to fight the WBC Light champion Alberto Puello then after his 12-round decision for Mathieu Germain (26-3-1, 11 kos) England.

Puello Next?

Hearn states that Puello has voluntary protection he can take first before defending himself against Smith, but thinks he may want to face him afterwards after looking at less than his countries victory over Germain. Dalton looked good in this match, but he failed to note the knockout he needed to create an interest in a clash between him and Poule.

Smith knocked down to Germain three times in the race, once in round two, eleven -twelve. The results were 119-105, 119-105 and 117-107.

Hearn did not mention who Dalton could then face if he couldn’t get the title filmed against Poule afterwards. It would be smart for him to get the best as possible an opponent. This will not be easy because Smith hits hard and he is a real weight. He has to fight in this division, not 140. Tonight he looked like a small junior average weight.

He can be reduced to how much Hearn is willing to pay to get a contender to fight Smith. If he will be cheap or if he does not want him to be tested for fear of losing, he will probably combine the division with 140 pounds for a german branch to fight the next one. In other words, Hearn will dig another tomato box to make Smith look like a solid 24 -kilometer gold.

“Definitely Powel or definitely the title of WBC that has received it,” said promoter Eddie Hearn to Second Asked to whom Dalton Smith would fight then after his victory over Mateo Germain on Saturday night in Sheffield.

Negotiations

It doesn’t matter what Hearn wants. If the money is not there so that Smith can be fought, he will not do it. He is a true 140 -pound fighter and will not be impatient to fight a man who has to fight at 147. If Hearn will propose a change to a puello chip to fight Smith in Sheffield in front of a large prostrate crowd, he will not agree to the battle.

“Puello will be authorized to fight Dalton, but he just won the match. So, he will be allowed a volunteer (defense),” Hearn said. “It was a solid performance from Dalton. It’s not grand. And sometimes when you have these performances, it makes you fight now, not in September or October. I hope, but we’ll see.”

Hilsborough is a large stadium. Dalton did well on the arenas. There was a good crowd here, but I believe that the challenge for the world title comes to the Arna of Sheffield. I think the city is lagging behind this battle for the WBC title. I think he (Smith) can fill it.

“Then, when you go to bigger battles, then you can talk about Hilsborough. If you fight Theo, Richardson Hitchins in Union, or Ryan Garcia or such types of battles. As we saw with Kel Brooke against Erol Spence, who can make 25,000 plus,” said Hearn.
