|
Las Vegas (Abril 5, 2016) – ang Abril 16ika10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “Ang Heat” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
Ang “Knockout Night at the D” serye, presented by D Las Vegas atDowntown Las Vegas Events Center(DLVEC), ay na-promote sa pamamagitan ng Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.
The Apr. 16ika “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Sabado gabi, Abril 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. AT), nang live sa CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock at dating kampeon ng mundo Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs.. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Kos), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Ito ay isang panaginip magkatotoo,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. Needless to say, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”

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 (ANG GANOONG AS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) at International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweyt mananalo.
“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. Sa panahong ito, kahit na, 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. last September) 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) nakakatugon Limberth “Kidlat” Ponce, JR. (10-2, 8 Kos), of Rock Island, Illinois, in the 8-round co-feature.

Dagat. 12 live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas

Las Vegas (Marso 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star Chuy “El Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 Kos) and his March 12ika kalaban, 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” kapwa may-tampok. 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.
Limang beses, dalawang dibisyon mundo kampeon Zab “Magara” Dyuda (42-9, 29 Kos) tumatagal saMagbiro “Pitbull” Si 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”, pagpapahangin (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. AT) nang live sa CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Itinanghal ni D Las Vegas and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, ang “Knockout Night at the D” serye’ inaugural event Dagat. 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), aaway out sa Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12ika 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, Mehiko, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., kasama ng marami pang iba, 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, ANG GANOONG AS, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 Olympic gold dalubhasa sa mga medalya, “Neon” Leon Spinks, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 Olympic gold dalubhasa sa mga medalya, Michael Spinks. And young Leon, na naka 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 (presyon) 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, napaka, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”
Ang lahat ng mga fights at fighters ay sakop sa pagbabago.
