Former British super featherweight champion Stephen Smith hopes to take a step closer to fighting for the world title when he faces WBC Silver champion Fernando Saucedo in March. The Argentinian’s Silver belt is on the line, but Smith’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, is also hoping to make it a final eliminator, with the winner going on to challenge Japanese champion Takashi Miura.
Earlier this month, Smith went to the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles where he sparred with world ranked Californian Alejandro Perez in preparation for Saucedo. “His style was perfect for me,” said Smith. “Like Saucedo, it’s all about the left hand with him. He’ll lead with the left hook, and he’ll show you plenty of variety with the left. The right hand is pretty straight, but it’s the left you have to worry about.”
