Ideally you wouldn't rush him into anything he's not ready for but for as long as he's got the belt he'll have a target on his back. Then again, we all know what the WBC are like when it comes to enforcing mandatories so I wouldn't be surprised to see him face hand picked opponents for another 3 or 4 fights.
He needs to work on some things. He had some defensive lapses and didn't seem like he had the gas to go 12 hard rounds.

He's still the best fighter in the world at his age, though.

Quillin was in a tough fight on the undercard... Dashon came in last minute and as usual proved he is one of the best gatekeeper in USA... Got Quillin in the ropes, pressured him, grinded him, landed flush awkward power shots and took everything Quillin dished back. It was a nice war at time. Quillin looked a little passive and mainly fought in shorter sequences. Hls here:
