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 (TAL COMO), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) e Federação Internacional de Boxe (IBF) campeão dos médios.
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. Hoje em dia, embora, 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. setembro passado) 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!”

The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 KOs), lutando fora de Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12th 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, México, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., entre muitos outros, 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.

And young Leon, que virou 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 (pressão) 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, muito, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.

Viana (6-0) é irmão mais velho do astro do Bellator Guilherme Viana e também treina com o astro do UFC Glover Teixeira. Ele é faixa-preta de Jiu-Jitsu e atual campeão dos meio-pesados ​​do Shooto Brasil. Viana, como Clark, provou ser clínico com sua habilidade de finalização e está ansioso para lutar fora de seu Brasil natal pela primeira vez. Sua estreia internacional também será sua primeira luta televisionada mundialmente e Viana quer aproveitar ao máximo.
“Estou muito honrado por ter esta oportunidade,” afirmou Viana. “Esta será minha primeira luta internacional e é uma grande honra lutar pelo título inaugural dos meio-pesados ​​da RFA. Farei um grande show para os fãs na RFA 37.”
O co-evento principal da RFA 37 culminará com a coroação do terceiro campeão galo da história da RFA. Os dois primeiros campeões, Pedro Munhoz and Luke Sanders, foi 4-0 na RFA antes de assinar com o UFC. O título vago dos galos da RFA estará em disputa entre dois homens que fizeram sua estreia na RFA no mesmo card no verão passado em lutas consecutivas. Joey Miolla (8-1) e Leandro Higo (15-2) representaram seus países de origem no histórico “EUA vs. BRASIL” evento que aconteceu em agosto passado na RFA 29. Ambos os homens saíram vitoriosos naquela noite e mostraram por que são dois dos mais conceituados jogadores de 135 libras do esporte. Em Sexta-feira, 15 de abril, Miolla e Higo se enfrentarão dentro do mesmo prédio que fizeram sua estreia na RFA no verão passado, mas desta vez o vencedor sairá com RFA ouro amarrado na cintura.
RFA 37 também apresentará um dos filhos favoritos de Dakota do Sul, Jordon Larson (6-2) está definido para retornar na luta de recursos do meio-médio. Larson fará sua quarta aparição pela RFA em sua cidade natal, Sioux Falls, contra o nativo do Colorado Brian Camozzi (5-2). Larson, que recebeu três das maiores ovações da história da RFA, mais uma vez, fará a caminhada até o octógono da RFA na frente de seus adorados fãs de sua cidade. Ele vai enfrentar Camozzi, quem é o irmão mais novo da estrela do UFC Chris Camozzi. O irmão mais novo de Camozzi fez uma grande declaração em sua estreia na RFA em janeiro. Ele mostrou suas habilidades dinâmicas ao se tornar a primeira pessoa a finalizar Tyler Milner e o fez em menos de uma rodada.
RFA 37 – Viana vs Clark acontece Sexta-feira, 15 de abril no Sanford Pentágono, em Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Lutas adicionais no card principal e card preliminar da RFA 37 será anunciado em breve.

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”, Mar. 12 at DLVEC in Las Vegas
Live on CBS Sports Network
LAS VEGAS (Março 1, 2016) – Future Hall of Fame candidate Zab “Super” Judá is fighting for his legacy. His road back to the top starts Sábado noite,Março 12, against upset-minded Josh “Pitbull” Torres, in the 10-round main event kicking off the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, arejar vivo (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. E) em CBS Sports Network live from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Apresentado por o D Las Vegas e Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, along with Neon Star Media and Roy Englebrecht Promotions, o “Knockout Night at the D” série’ evento inaugural Mar. 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.).
Judá (42-9, 29 KOs), lutando fora de Las Vegas, has been a professional boxer for nearly 20 anos. The southpaw has defeated seven world champions during his outstanding career: Junior Witter, Terron Millet, DeMarcus Corley, Raphael Pineda, Corey Spinks, Joshua Clottey e(interim champ) Lucas Matthysse. The Brooklyn native has an outstanding 11-8 (9 KOs) record in world title fights.
Agora, embora, 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’ série,” 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. “Estou muito animado por estar de volta no ringue,” Judah remarked. “I helped Floyd (Mayweather) get ready for (Manny)Pacquiao 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 KOs) 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 championJohnny tapia. His brother-in-law, Chris Chavez, now trains Torres, who has been sparring with fellow New Mexican and former world junior middleweight champion, Austin Trout, to prepare for the left-handed Judah.
Torres is also a professional barber who’d like to clip Judah, por assim dizer. “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.
