The 'Easton Assassin' has been made a slight favorite at {7-5} over the slick-boxing Howard Smith.

Larry last fought back on March 17, 1977 {6-Months ago}, where he scored a TKO 5 over Horace Robinson.

Howard is coming off a {KO 10} over Charlie James on August 19th , where he successfully defended
his California State Heavyweight Championship.

Larry Holmes also fought Charlie James, as Larry scored a 10-Round Decision over the common opponent
back on August 26, 1975.

This 'match-up' is expected to be a battle of left-jabs and countering right-hands. As both fighters are
crisp-punchers with a high-skill level.
