Steve Claggett (L) upset Emmanuel Robles
Claggett, fighting out of Calgary, Kanada, dropped down one weight class. Coming off a disputed 10-round decision loss to Chris van Heerden prošlog travnja, also at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, Claggett won a 10-round majority decision (98-92, 98-92, 94-96)večeras for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Također) 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 (vs. van Heerden) in stride, vowing to go back to the gym and make changes. I went down to 140 (lbs.) and it was the right decision. I’m stronger. I I really worked hard.
“I landed a couple of shots that hurt him noticeably. On je tvrd. Robles is a champion in the making. Imam puno poštovanja prema njemu. Ovo je moj život. Ona (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 Kos), a 3-time Mexican National amateur champion, to fight his fight. Macia’s aggressive style, always coming forward, bacanje punches od svakog zamislivog kuta, 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. Sudac 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.”

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.”
