“I am in excellent condition,” Puello conveyed to Boxingscene after a training session held on Wednesday. “Having collaborated with Coach Salas for several years and being in the company of these individuals, I sense an acquisition of new knowledge daily.”
Alberto, the left-handed boxer from the Dominican Republic, is approaching this contest with the aim of re-establishing his standing in the 140-pound category, a position he lost last year following his defeat by Subriel Matias. This encounter against Smith presents a clear pathway back to contention for a championship, as the victor will be positioned for subsequent chances within the weight class.
Puello emphasized the importance of the regular training facility atmosphere in his readiness, attributing it to the diverse blend of techniques and expertise present in the camp. The assertive style of Romero, the athletic prowess of Morrell, and the seasoned experience of Ugas collectively contribute to a varied training regimen during sparring sessions and exercises.
When confronting Smith’s intense, forward-pressing manner of fighting, Puello stated his primary concentration would be on maintaining composure and strategy, rather than attempting to mirror the speed.
“Through adapting and adhering to my personal fighting method,” Puello explained when questioned on how he plans to manage Smith’s tactics. “Should I succeed in this, Dalton will present several openings for me to exploit.”
Puello affirmed that his ambition extending past this upcoming match continues unabated, outlining intentions to challenge other champions should he emerge victorious on the sixth of June.
“My objective is to consolidate the championship titles,” Puello declared. “Therefore, regardless of who possesses them, my aim is to bring them together.”
The significance placed on training in the gym is evident. The effectiveness of this preparation when pitted against an aggressive fighter such as Smith will determine the true extent of his development. Puello’s agility and precise striking will pose a considerable challenge for Dalton in connecting with powerful blows. Nevertheless, given that the bout is scheduled in Dalton’s native Sheffield, England, Puello might be required to exert additional effort if he aims to secure a victory by decision.
