Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Kos), fighting out of Santa Monica (MEGIS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) a Ffederasiwn Bocsio Rhyngwladol (IBF) pencampwr pwysau welter.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. Y dyddiau hyn, er bod, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Errol Spence Jr. fis Medi diwethaf) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
Undefeated Lancaster, California welterweight Neeco “Rooster” Macias (11-0, 4 Kos) yn cyfarfod Limberth “Mellt” Ponce, Jr. (10-2, 8 Kos), of Rock Island, Illinois, in the 8-round co-feature.

Chuy Gutierrez & Leon Spinks III: You will know my name!
Judah vs. Torres headlines “Knockout Night at the D”
Môr. 12 live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (Mawrth 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star Chuy “El Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 Kos) and his March 12fed gwrthwynebydd, Leon “The Third Generation” Spinks III(11-3-1, 7 Kos), are both looking to make their own mark in their 8-round “Knockout Night at the D” cyd-nodwedd. Gutierrez is seeking to expand his marquee on a national level, while Spinks attempts to shine on his own terms despite his spotlight catching last name.
Pum-amser, bencampwr byd dau is-adran Zab “Super” Jwda (42-9, 29 Kos) yn cymryd arJosh “Pitbull” Torres (15-4-2, 7 Kos), in the 10-round main event of the inaugural show of the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, darlledu (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. A) byw ar Rhwydwaith Chwaraeon CBS from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Cyflwynir gan y D Las Vegas and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, y “Knockout Night at the D” Cyfres’ inaugural event Môr. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.).
The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 Kos), ymladd y tu allan i Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12fed is scheduled to be his coming out party on a national stage. He’s rapidly become a fan favorite in Las Vegas because of his exciting, aggressive style of fighting. Chuy’s ready to spread his wings, now being showcased fighting on national television, and expand his growing fan-base.
Born in the fertile boxing town of Sinaloa, Mecsico, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr, ymhlith nifer o rai eraill, Gutierrez is making up for lost time. He was a baseball prospect who didn’t box until he was 21. “I played sports in high school, baseball was my first love, and I dreamed of becoming a big leaguer,” Gutierrez said. “Boxing found me. I was attending college at Southern Nevada and working, but the first day I walked into Johnny Tocco’s gym, I fell in love with boxing. I’ve watched so many greats train there and I learned a lot from them.”
“I have a lot of respect for Spinks, but I’m just fighting the man, not his family. His grandfather was world champion, but I’m not fighting his grandfather. I’m excited to be fighting him on CBS Sports Network.”
Spinks (11-3-1, 7 Kos), who fights out of Huntington Beach, MEGIS, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 Enillydd medal aur Olympaidd, “Neon” Leon Spinks, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 Enillydd medal aur Olympaidd, Michael Spinks. And young Leon, a drodd 28 this past Valentine’s Day, is also the nephew of former 2-division world champion Cory Spinks.
His familiar last name in boxing has been a blessing, albeit one that has also put a lot of pressure on Leon. “Things have always been that way (pwysau) because I’m named after my grandfather, ‘Pops,'” Leon III explained. “From the beginning of my pro career, I was put in tough fights because of my name, just tough fights…real wars.
“I got to 8-0 but that hurt me because I couldn’t get good fights. But I’ve always really been my own man. This is a very, iawn, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”
