Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Uitklophoue), veg uit Santa Monica, California by way of South Africa, used his 3-inch height advantage against Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Uitklophoue), the Canadian champion from Calgary, Alberta.
Neither fighter was hurt during the fight, in which there were continual back-and-forth exchanges of stinging combinations. Claggett battled to apply pressure in order to fight on the inside, while Van Heerden fought effectively from the outside.
The two evenly-matched welterweights patiently waited for the official announcement: 95-95 en 97-93 twice for Van Heerden.
I knew I won this fight, 120-persent, but I knew it was close,” Van Heerden commented. “We’re both winners vanaand because of it was so close and we entertained the crowd. Me and Claggett entertained the crowd…..we delivered. I’ve been through so much and the lord helped me get this win. I look forward to a rematch, but I want to move forward.
Undefeated California junior middleweight Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (12-0, 6 Uitklophoue) had a lot to crow about in the 8-round co-feature against Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce, Jr.(10-3, 8 Uitklophoue). Macias thoroughly dominated the action, firing non-stop shots from every conceivable angle. His unrelenting pressure enabled Macias, whose come-forward approach made him an instant fan favorite, to control the fight from start to finish for a unanimous decision.
I knew he was going to be the toughest fighter I’ve fought,” Macias said. “I give Ponce much respect. We wanted to give fans a good show.
Baltimore welterweight Malik “Iceman” Hawkins (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue) het Errol “Spyda” Sidney (6-2-2, 2 Uitklophoue) a beating, fully displaying his arsenal of punches, hurting his gutsy opponent on several occasions. Hawkins’ aggressive style early in the fight broke-down Sidney, who was nearly finished at the end of the fourth and fifth rounds. Hawkins trapped Sidney a neutral corner at the start of the sixth round and a powerful uppercut sent Sidney down to a knee. Sidney beat referee Jay Nady‘s count but the veteran official had seen enough and he halted the bout 1:02 into the sixth.
We’re back,” Hawkins proclaimed after the bout. I’d give myself an 8 ½ this fight.
Las Vegas’ promising prospect Randy Moreno (2-0, 1 KO) outclassed Oregon junior lightweight Derek Barthemay (0-3) from the opening bell for a 4-round unanimous decision.

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 Uitklophoue), veg uit Santa Monica (SOOS), is 'n voormalige Internasionale Boks Organisasie (IBO) en Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) welterweight kampioen.
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. Deesdae, al, 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 prospect Toka Kahn-Clary Returns to ring this Saturday night vs. Gabino Cota in Studio City, Kalifornië

Top Rank

CRANSTON, RI(Februarie 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary(17-0, 11 Uitklophoue) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “Flash” Cota (18-5-1, 16 Uitklophoue) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Kalifornië.

A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rekord), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Nasionale Golden Gloves Toernooi, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Olimpiese boksspan, draai pro drie jaar gelede.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 Uitklophoue) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show Saterdag, opskrif deur Alex Saucedo vs. Clarence Booth, doesn’t have a single 10-round fight, in favor of three 8-rounders including Kahn-Clary vs. Cota.
That really doesn’t matter to me,” Kahn-Clary said. “I trained to beat this guy, not how many rounds. I’m a lot better fighter than I was a year ago. I’m a lot more relaxed in the ring. I think more as I’m moving in the ring, adjusting a lot better, and my combinations are coming out a lot better.
A former WBC FECOMBOX and Mexican featherweight champion, Cota is a dangerous opponent who has knocked out 16 van die 18 fighters he’s defeated as a professional.
Cota may have lost four of his last six but they were all title fights or on television against name opponents,” Kahn-Clary se hoof afrigter Peter manfredo, Sr. opgemerk. “He has some pop, throws a zillion punches and just keeps coming forward. This is a good step up for Toka.
Toka is ready for this fight. He’s had a lot of good sparring. Toka is aggressive, well-conditioned, a good defensive fighter who can crack. There wasn’t a 10-round fight available on this card but we wanted this fight. Toka’s still only 23 so there’s no reason to rush things.
Cota is battle tested having fought world title challengerJonathan Oquendo, Puerto Rikaanse Olimpiese Orlando Cruzand Russian champion Andrey Klimov.
I like fighting guys that come to me like Cota,” Kahn-Clary remarked. “It makes my job easier. I can setup my punches and fights against guys like this aren’t as much as a chess match. I’ll be landing hard shots and fans like that better than a chess match.

Onoorwonne vooruitsig Toka Kahn-Clary gegradueerdes 10-ronde vegter

CRANSTON, RI (November 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 Uitklophoue) verlede Vrydag aand by die Cosmopolitan van Las Vegas, onoorwonne prima veergewigtitel vooruitsig Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 Uitklophoue) het amptelik gegradueer van 'n agt tot tien-round vegter.
“”My optrede was goed,” Kahn-Clary looked back on his knockout of Lopez. “I didn’t do anything to make it a difficult fight. I was a little concerned that my opponent came in overweight (128 £. gewig kontrak, maar Lopez geweeg 132.2 lbs.), but I didn’t think too much of it. I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, maar ek het hom in die tweede ronde met 'n reg haak, en het hom uit. (Lopez was nie in staat om die klok vir die derde ronde te beantwoord.)
(L-R) Toka Kahn-Clary en skeidsregter Jay Nady
“Ek is beslis gereed vir 10 veelsydige spelers. (Hoof afrigter) Peter (Manfredo, Sr) altyd my doen 'n baie conditioning werk. Ons sparred baie rondes vir agt-ronde gevegte, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, maar ek sal weer in die gimnasium volgende Maandag.”

“Ek dink Toka het 'n groot stelling en so het Top Rank (Kahn-Clary se promotor),” Manfredo added. “They’re so high on him that they want to put him in a big fight. I told them to give us a 10-round fight first, miskien in Januarie of Februarie, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; Hy is net 23.
Toka’s really maturing. He still doesn’t have ‘man strengthbut he’s getting there. He always works hard. He spars hard with bigger guys. He doesn’t just beat up a sparring partner, Hy klop aan die gimnasium, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.
Gebore in Liberië, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Ek wil om te kompeteer op die hoogste vlak,” he explained. “Volgende jaar, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, nog nie, maar ek sal daar wees in die ander jaar.”

PROVIDENCE (November 16, 2015) — Onoorwonne veergewigtitel vooruitsig Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Uitklophoue) kan die beste wees, relatief “onbekend” prizefighter in die land, ten minste buite New England.
A versier Amerikaanse amateur wat 'n het 131-11 rekord, uitgelig deur 'n goue medalje by die prestasie 2010 Nasionale Golden Gloves Toernooi, Kahn-Clary terug na die ring Saterdag nag (November. 20) by Die Cosmopolitan van Las Vegas teen Mexikaanse opponent Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Uitklophoue) in wat veronderstel is om Kahn-Clary se laaste geskeduleerde agt-ronde bout wees voordat hy gegradueerdes tot 10 veelsydige spelers.
“Hy is 'n taai Mexikaanse vegter wat 'n bietjie kan boks aan die buitekant,” Kahn-Clary gepraat het oor sy volgende teenstander, “maar hy kom na vore, te. Hy is ervare en het in al met 'n baie goeie teenstanders.”
Lopez is 'n ernstige toets vir enige vooruitsig. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) die afgelope Augustus, 10-ronde split trek met 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, en 'n pragtige vyfde ronde van tegniese uitklophou 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez is 'n gamer,” Kahn-Clary se hoof afrigter Peter manfredo, Sr. bygevoeg. He’s tough but our plan is for Toka to take him apart and eventually take him out. Toka’s not far away from a really big fight, Miskien 8-10 maande. We were offered a big fight but, ons eerste een nodig het 10-ronde stryd, en hy vroeg daardie stryd volgende jaar.”
Kahn-Clary, veg uit Providence, kom uit sy mees noemenswaardige oorwinning as 'n professionele laaste Junie, waarin hy optrek in die klas oor te neem 33-11 Jonathan Perez, die voormalige Colombiaanse super kapokgewig en World Boxing Council (WBC) kampioen. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleySe tussentydse wêreld welterweight titel wen Jessie Vargas op StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornië.
Die 23-jarige, wat gebore Toka Kahn, will never face obstacles in the ring more difficult to overcome than his early life experiences. Now a blue-chip prospect, he was born in Liberia and came to America with his younger sister to join their father when he was only six. He lived in Philadelphia only one year before his father was killed in a shooting. Toka’s arduous journey continued as he and his sister moved to Providence, waar hulle gewoon het met pleegouers wat, eerlik, nie omgee wat met hulle gebeur.
Alle tekens dui op Toka om in die moeilikheid op die Providence strate as 'n jongeling, veral by tye, toe hy hawelose was. Gelukkig, al, 'n vriend het hom na manfredo's Gym in Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England president Jim Perella en die egpaar wat hom uiteindelik aangeneem, Andrea Watson en Ron Clary, dramaties verander sy lewe.
Kahn-Clary onderteken 'n kontrak met promosie Top Rank, wat, saam met bestuurder Mike Criscio en manfredo, het Kahn-Clary verskuif teen 'n bestendige, opwaartse tempo. Kahn-Clary, terloops, sal veg vir die derde keer vanjaar, nadat vyf verlede jaar.
“Top Rank het 'n goeie werk gedoen hou my besig,” southpaw Kahn-Clary commented. “I know that it takes time to climb the ladder and I still need to improve a few things. I need to beat a top fighter to get into the world rankings. I’ll be ready when I get that call.
“Ek is gereed vir 'n oomblik 10 of 12 ronde stryd. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 en 12 round fights because it’ll be a test for me and I love to be test. The top guys in my division are the (Gary) Russell, (Moegl) Lomachenkoen (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.
Gehalte sparring in New England is teen 'n premie, veral vir 'n kleiner gewig vegter soos Kahn-Clary, wat waardevolle ondervinding sparring met WBA super-veergewigtitel opgedoenJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Uitklophoue), drie keer Amerikaanse Olimpiese Rau'shee Warren en sy mede-Nieu-Engeland en 'n vriend, New Haven’s Luis “KO King” Rosa (21-0, 10 Uitklophoue).
“Peter (Manfredo) en my reis na Worcester (MA) en Connecticut om goeie werk te kry,” the gifted boxer-puncher Toka-Kahn explained. “It’s been a great help for me. I’ve gotten a lot of valuable experience in there with fighters like Fortuna and Warren. Ek het hul ring generaalskap gesien, hul beweging, and I’ve learned from them. They’re smart. I’ve learned from them, even try to copy them. It’s not just about sparring, wat is 'n leerervaring. As jy nie leer uit sparring, al wat jy ooit sal wees, is 'n lewensmaat.”
Manfredo is al en hy besef dat sy prys student, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Ek is goeie vriende met Freddie Roach en ons sal uitgaan na Kalifornië en op te lei by die Wild Card Gym,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, wat een van die beste, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.
Intussen, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Eerste, al, Hy het verlede Lopez kry Saterdag nag om sy momentum gaan hou.
