Donnell Holmes Fights This Saturday

On the under card of the Oscar De La Hoya fight night this Saturday (5/3/08), 230 lb Donnell "The Real Touch of Sleep" Holmes will face an opponent yet to be named. The same reason there is no name given of a fighter this Saturday is possibly the reason Holmes has no big name fights yet. He believes that a lot of fighters have chosen to avoid him. Most likely his unbeaten record of 28-0(24) will remain intact this weekend, but at age 35 Holmes needs to figure out a way to step it up before it's too late. This Saturday will be Holmes' first outing since October of last year. Possibly with a big name like De La Hoya and having a surname of a great heavyweight champion already this will give Holmes the exposure he needs.
