On a stacked card that had fans on their feet all night, Canadian سٹیو “The Dragon” Claggett (24-4-1, 16 کوس) upset بذریعہ Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-1-1, 5 کوس) اہم ایونٹ میں, promoted in association with Bobby D Presents, but it was Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (13-0, 7 کوس) who stole the show in the co-feature

The “Knockout Night at the D” سیریز کے, presented by

Jim “J.R.” Ross اور امام برنسٹین called the action from ringside on سی بی ایس کھیل نیٹ ورک in North America and internationally via ئایسپیین.

Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, کینیڈا, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Chris van Heerden this past April, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)آج کی رات for the vacant North American Boxing Association (اس کے علاوہ) welterweight title. His expert body work allowed him to dictate the pace of the boxing match.

“This is a long time coming, Claggett admitted. “I took the loss (بنام. وین Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (پونڈ.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.

“I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. انہوں نے کہا کہ مشکل ہے. Robles is a champion in the making. میں اس کے لئے احترام کی ایک بہت کچھ ہے. یہ میری زندگی ہے. یہ (his loss to van Heerden) fueled me. The fire’s back in me. I love fighting in Las Vegas.”

Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (L) stole the show to became a rising star

The co-feature showcased a pair undefeated junior middleweights and from the opening bell it was a real firefight. Macias forced Rolando “Rola” Garza (9-1, 6 کوس), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, throwing punches from every conceivable angle, ruled the coop. Garza got caught up in the action and paid for it, although the score after was 39-37, 39-37 for Macias, 39-37 for Garza, entering the fifth and final round. Macia’s constant pressure controlled the action, wearing down Garza, and paid dividends as he dropped Garza in the fifth. ریفری Jay Nady had seen enough, halting the fight at that point as much due to the damage Garza had suffered in the first four rounds as the knockdown.

A rising star was born in Macia, who captured the vacant World Boxing Association (WBC) United States junior middleweight championship. “It’s conditioning, a lot of work,” Macias explained the reason for his non-stop action before crowing loudly in the ring. “I stuck to the game plan. I knew he’d come to fight with a lot of skill to out-box me and get points. My game plan was throw a lot of upper cuts and punches from every angle. It was all about throwing combinations.

“He had a lot pf power, so I used defense to block punches. In the last round, I put punches together. I think the fight was stopped a little early and he could have kept going, but I didn’t see what he saw, and the referee was looking out for the fighters so we can fight another day.”

Jeremy Nichols remained undefeated

In the television opener, flashy Las Vegas welterweight Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (6-0, 2 کوس) kept rolling, winning a 4-round unanimous decision over سٹیو Belmontes (2-1, O KOs). Nichols outworked his opponent, consistently beating Belmontes to the punch with his superior quickness.

“I think it could have been a little flashier,” Nichols admitted. “But give it up to my opponent, he came to fight. With more than 100 شوکیا لڑائی, he could take a punch but he kept coming. My goal was to take everything from him and make him fight my fight. His hands were a little slower and he took a lot of good body shots and counters.”

Idaho junior flyweight Marina “راکی” Ramirez کی (40-36, 40-36, 40-36) pitched a 4-round shutout, شکست دے Rachel “The Black Widow” Sazoff (0-2) کے اسکور کی طرف سے 40-36 بورڈ بھر میں. “I landed a lot of shots,” Ramirez noted. “I respect her, she was tough. The game plan worked and we got the win.”

Randy Moreno (L) keeps improving

Twenty-year-old Randy Moreno (4-0, 3 کوس) turned in the best performance of his young career, stopping Australian junior lightweight “12” Gaige Ireland (2-1-2, 2 کوس) تیسرے راؤنڈ میں. Moreno fights with the poise of a much older fighter, effectively counter punching from the opening bell. “یہ بہت اچھا لگ رہا ہے,” Moreno commented. “I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t forGil Martinez (سر ٹرینر). He is notorious for his training methods and it’s paid off. I’ve been with him 10 سال. Fighting here at home means the world to me.”

Ismail Muwendo (L) ناقابل شکست رہے

He’s a tough guy who was ready.”

Max Ornelas (ر) opened the show in grand style

Las Vegas favorite Max “Baby Face Assassin” Ornelas (4-0, 2 کوس) remained unbeaten by way of a 4-round unanimous decision over جوناتھن “Johnny Boy” Quiorz (6-5, 1 KO). “I was confident (of winning the decision,” the 18-year-old Ornelas said. “I was out-boxing him.
