Ardreal Holmes (12-0, 5 KOs) fights Ismael Villarreal (12-0, 8 KOs) in a 10-round Super Welterweight division fight on Showtime.
Previously, Holmes defeated Vernon Brown in March 2022 in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generation from the Deadwood Mountain Grand Hotel in Deadwood, South Dakota, by a majority decision after 10 rounds.
Given that he battled inside against the shorter Brown, the taller Holmes did not make it easy for himself but was maintaining control of the fight. All in all, Holmes triumphed with scores of 97-93, 96-94, and 98-92.
His opponent, The Bronx’s Villareal, dropped LeShawn Rodriguez (13-1, 10 KOs) once apiece in the third and sixth rounds. The action was stopped 26 seconds into the sixth round, following the second knockdown.
