ПРОВИДЕНЦЕ, Рходе Исланд (Децембар 2, 2017) – Professional boxing returned to The Strand Ballroom and Theatre in Providence last night, Децембар 1 по први пут у 20 године and popular Providence featherweight Тока “Т-Ница” Kahn Clary didn’t disappoint the large, raucous crowd.
Кан-Клари (24-1, 16 КОс) turned in a dominant performance, winning by way of a seventh-round technical knockout, over previously undefeated Filipino slugger John Vincent Moralde (19-1, 10 КОс), the WBC Asian featherweight titlist, да заузме упражњено Ворлд Бокинг савет (ВБЦ) USNBC featherweight championship.
“
Real Deal Championship Boxing V”,
presented by Hall of Famer Evander Holyfield’s The Real Deal Boxing,
aired live on CBS Sports Network,
the undercard was live-streamed on www.TheRealDealBoxing.com.
Calling the action were Paulie Malignaggi,
Steve Farhood and Barry Tompkins.
The 25-year-old Kahn-Clary, who won the North American Boxing Association (Такође) title in his last fight, used a stiff jab and solid defense to frustrate his opponent early in the fight, setting the pace to take a decisive scoring advantage.
Toka-Kahn came out firing in the fourth round, applying more pressure to take full command, and he never let up. Rapid fire punches by Toka-Kahn, thrown from all angles, repeatedly landed on his overmatched opponent. By the end of round seven it was clear that the end was near for Moralde and it came suddenly when Moralde couldn’t continue anymore.
“This was great вечерас,” Holyfield commented about promoting his first show in Providence. “We want Toka to be our first world champion and this performance should put him in good position. It was very important to build his fanbase at home in Providence and we look forward to promoting here in the near future.”
“I’m not a one-punch fighter,” WBA No. 14-rated Toka explained. “I kept walking him down and hit him with some good body shots. I’m not going to call anybody out by name but I’m ready to fight anybody in my weight class.”
“This is such a good feeling. I came here but could have ended up anywhere. I’m truly blessed to be in Providence and have these great fans. Имам сјајан тим иза мене. I want to fight the best to be the best, it’s the only way to make money and be recognized. I’m ready for anybody!”
The American debut of undefeated Italian cruiserweight Fabio “Stone Crusher” Turchi (13-0, 11 КОс) was a clinic in last night’s co-featured event against Demetrius Banks (9-4, 4 КОс), Детроита. Turchi patiently applied constant pressure, methodically breaking down the game Banks and hurting his opponent with a flurry of punches in the third round. The end came when Banks failed to answer the bell for round five.
“Тако сам срећна,” Turchi remarked after the fight. “This was so emotional for me because it was the first time I fought in front of Evander. I’m happy with my performance but I think I could have done better”.
“I felt the heat from the Italian-American fans and I thank them for helping me sustain. I also want to thank The Real Deal Boxing. My next fight will be Фебруар 2 at home in Florence, for the European Union title.”
In the CBSSN televised opener, red-hot featherweight prospect made Irvin Gonzalez(8-0, 7 КОс) made the most of his national TV debut, switching freely from orthodox stance to southpaw and back throughout the fight, en route to a sensational third-round knockout of Colombian knockout artist Marlon Olea (13-2, 12 КОс). The lightning-quick Gonzalez, of Worcester, Мр, consistently beat his opponent to the punch, and finished off Olea with a straight right to the body to keep his perfect pro record intact. Olea was fighting in the U.S. по први пут.
“Вечерас, I showed that I’m a real fighter,” Gonzalez said after the fight. “I believe I’m a contender in my weight class. I’m going back to the drawing board with my coaches and 2018 is going to be my year.”
Local favorite Nick DeLomba (12-2, 2 КОс), representing nearby Cranston, РИ, pleased his supportive crowd, registering a hard-fought victory by way of an eight-round unanimous decision versus Bronx junior welterweight Louis Cruz (12-4, 6 КОс) за упражњено Универсал Бокинг Федератион (УБФ) junior welterweight title. Cruz was penalized a one-point deduction in the fourth round for a low blow. Резултати су били 79-72 и 78-73 двапут.

Philadelphia welterweight Poindexter “Дивљак” витез (1-0, 1 КОс), a 2017 Национални Златни Рукавице првак, had an auspicious pro debut, trapping Samuel Forjoe (0-2) in the corner right after the first bell. The gifted southpaw, a prized prospect for fans to keep an eye on, unloaded ten unanswered punches until referee Danny Schiavone halted the action at 1:03 у првом колу.
