Holmes Jr. vs. Toussaint Betting Analysis
Ardreal Holmes Jr.
The Flint, Michigan native is lucky enough to be on this historic event. Where big-time boxing makes it’s return to Detroit. Holmes Jr. is a 6’2” crafty southpaw fighter that is undefeated in his professional boxing career. He is 13-0, with 5 of those wins coming via KO.
Holmes Jr. was an alternate for the 2016 Olympics. Proving he has a very solid background of amateur boxing and skills. This is a great story for this event. A young man that is getting his big shot in front of his own people to put on a great performance and earn a massive fight in the near future.
Wendy Toussaint
Originally from Haiti, Toussaint now resides in New York where he gets some of the best training a boxer can ask for. He was formerly the main sparring partner for WBO World Light Heavyweight title holder, Joe Smith Jr. for a number of years. That kind of experience can last a lifetime and do wonders for his own boxing career.
Toussaint is 14-1 with 6 KOs in his professional tenure. This is a massive opportunity for him to put his name on the map in the big-time boxing scene. The 5’10” orthodox boxer has his hands full this weekend, especially with his lack of activity over the recent years.
