Ван Хеерден (23-1-1, 12 КОс), fighting out of Santa Monica, California by way of South Africa, used his 3-inch height advantage against Claggett (23-3-1, 16 КОс), the Canadian champion from Calgary, Алберта.
Neither fighter was hurt during the fight, in which there were continual back-and-forth exchanges of stinging combinations. Claggett battled to apply pressure in order to fight on the inside, while Van Heerden fought effectively from the outside.
The two evenly-matched welterweights patiently waited for the official announcement: 95-95 и 97-93 twice for Van Heerden.
“I knew I won this fight, 120-проценат, but I knew it was close,” Van Heerden commented. “We’re both winners вечерас because of it was so close and we entertained the crowd. Me and Claggett entertained the crowd…..we delivered. I’ve been through so much and the lord helped me get this win. I look forward to a rematch, but I want to move forward.”
Undefeated California junior middleweight Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (12-0, 6 КОс) had a lot to crow about in the 8-round co-feature against Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce, Јр.(10-3, 8 КОс). Macias thoroughly dominated the action, firing non-stop shots from every conceivable angle. His unrelenting pressure enabled Macias, whose come-forward approach made him an instant fan favorite, to control the fight from start to finish for a unanimous decision.
“I knew he was going to be the toughest fighter I’ve fought,” Macias said. “I give Ponce much respect. We wanted to give fans a good show.”
Baltimore welterweight Малик “Ледаџија” Hawkins (7-0, 6 КОс) Дао Ерол “Spyda” Сидни (6-2-2, 2 КОс) a beating, fully displaying his arsenal of punches, hurting his gutsy opponent on several occasions. Hawkins’ aggressive style early in the fight broke-down Sidney, who was nearly finished at the end of the fourth and fifth rounds. Hawkins trapped Sidney a neutral corner at the start of the sixth round and a powerful uppercut sent Sidney down to a knee. Sidney beat referee Jay Nady‘s count but the veteran official had seen enough and he halted the bout 1:02 into the sixth.
“We’re back,” Hawkins proclaimed after the bout. I’d give myself an 8 ½ this fight.”
Лас Вегас’ promising prospect Randy Moreno (2-0, 1 КО) outclassed Oregon junior lightweight Derek Barthemay (0-3) from the opening bell for a 4-round unanimous decision.
Flashy Las Vegas welterweight prospect Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (3-0, 2 КОс) constantly pounded the body of his tough Mexican opponent, Јасон “Gibbor” Gavino (3-2, 2 КОс), for a 4-round shutout victory,
Лас Вегас’ Sal Lopez (2-0) dropped a game Матт “The KO Kid” Murphy (0-2), a junior lightweight from St. Луис, in the opening round on his way to an impressive one-sided win by way of a unanimous 4-round decision.
