“The Dragon” to be unleashed April 16th Live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas

די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע, presented by די ד לאַס וועגאַס אוןונטערשטאָט לאַס וועגאַס עווענץ צענטראַל(דלוועק), איז פּראָמאָטעד דורך רוי דזשאָנעס דזשוניער. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions.

The broadcast team includes Jim “דזשוניער” Ross, שאָן כווילאַק און פרייַערדיק וועלט מייַסטער קעווין “The Flushing FlashKelley. 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 קאָס), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “עס ס אַ חלום קומען אמת,” 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.
קלאַגגעטט, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. וואַן העערדען (23-1-1, 12 קאָס), fighting out of Santa Monica (אַזאַ ווי), is a former International Boxing Organization (יבאָ) און ינטערנאַטיאָנאַל באָקסינג Federation (יבף) וועלטערווייט מייַסטער.
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. נאַואַדייז, כאָטש, 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 עראַל ספּענסע דזשוניער. 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!”

Chuy Gutierrez & Leon Spinks III: You will know my name!

Judah vs. Torres headlines “Knockout Night at the D”
יאַם. 12 live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas
לאַס וועגאַס (מאַרץ 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star ChuyEl Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 קאָס) and his March 12טה קעגנער, לעאן “The Third GenerationSpinks III(11-3-1, 7 קאָס), are both looking to make their own mark in their 8-round “Knockout Night at the D” גלויבנס-שטריך. 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.

דערלאנגט דורך די ד לאַס וועגאַס and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע’ inaugural event יאַם. 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 ז. 3rd St.).
The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 קאָס), פייטינג אויס פון לאַס וועגאַס, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12טה 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, מעקסיקא, which produced Hall of Famer דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, מר, צווישן פילע אנדערע, 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 קאָס), who fights out of Huntington Beach, אַזאַ ווי, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, Neon” לעאן ספּינקס, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, מיכאל ספּינקס. And young Leon, ווער זיך 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 (דרוק) 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 fightsreal 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, זייער, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.

Zab Judah fighting to become 6-time world champion

Josh Torres looking for upset to
Make name for himself & NM boxers
“Knockout Night at the D”, יאַם. 12 at DLVEC in Las Vegas
Live on CBS Sports Network
לאַס וועגאַס (מאַרץ 1, 2016) – Future Hall of Fame candidate Zab “יבער” יהודה is fighting for his legacy. His road back to the top starts שבת נאַכט,מאַרץ 12, against upset-minded דזשאָש “פּיטבולל” Torres, in the 10-round main event kicking off the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, ערינג לעבן (8 פּ.ם. פּט / 11 פּ.ם. און) אויף קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק live from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (דלוועק).
דערלאנגט דורך די ד לאַס וועגאַס און ונטערשטאָט לאַס וועגאַס עווענץ צענטראַל, along with Neon Star Media and Roy Englebrecht Promotions, די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע’ inaugural event יאַם. 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 ז. 3rd St.).
יהודה (42-9, 29 קאָס), פייטינג אויס פון לאַס וועגאַס, has been a professional boxer for nearly 20 יאָרן. The southpaw has defeated seven world champions during his outstanding career: יינגער וויטטער, Terron Millet, דעמאַרקוס קאָרליי, Raphael Pineda, Corey Spinks, Joshua Clottey און(interim champ) לוקאַס מאַטטהיססע. The Brooklyn native has an outstanding 11-8 (9 קאָס) record in world title fights.
איצט, כאָטש, his past is in the rearview mirror and Judah’s on a mission to capture his sixth world title. That’s what drives the 38-year-old originally from Brooklyn. “I’m very happy to be headlining the first show of the ‘Knockout Night at the D’ סעריע,” Judah said. “I’m always comfortable and happy in the squared ring. I enjoy the sport of boxing and have one more goalto be six-time world champion of the world!”
Due to a variety of reasons, Judah has been out of action for two years, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he hasn’t been ready to rock in the ring. “איך בין זייער יקסייטאַד צו זייַן צוריק אין די רינג,” Judah remarked. “I helped פלויד (מייַוועאַטהער) get ready for (מאַני)פּאַקקוויאַאָ and last May came out of that camp in great shape. I’ve been ready to fight since then.
I’ve studied him (Torres) and he’s a hungry, young guy with a great opportunity in front of him. We aren’t overlooking him.
The 24-year-old Torres (15-4-2, 7 קאָס) may not have the same name recognition as many of Judah’s past opponents, but the determined prospect from Albuquerque, NM has nothing to lose and everything to gain fighting Judah.
I believe this fight can be life changing, not only for me, but also for upcoming New Mexico fighters,” Torres commented. “Boxing doesn’t get a lot of attention in my state.
Torres is a protégé of the late 5-time world championדזשאַני טאַפּיאַ. His brother-in-law, Chris Chavez, now trains Torres, who has been sparring with fellow New Mexican and former world junior middleweight champion, אַוסטין טראָוט, to prepare for the left-handed Judah.
Torres is also a professional barber who’d like to clip Judah, אַזוי צו רעדן. “I haven’t had a promoter or manager,” he explained the need for him to be a barber as well as a pro boxer. “I’ve always had to work to pay bills. It’s just had to be that way in my boxing career.
