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.

Hawkinsaggressive 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.

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 KO), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Ez egy valóra vált álom,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight.

VIDEO PROMO LINK:
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 KO), fighting out of Santa Monica (ILYEN AS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) és nemzetközi Boxing Federation (IBF) váltósúlyú bajnoka.
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. Manapság, bár, 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, Kalifornia

Top Rank

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

A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rekord), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Nemzeti Golden Gloves Verseny, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 Egyesült Államokon kívül. Olimpiai ökölvívó csapat, fordult pro három évvel ezelőtt.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KO) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show szombaton, címlapokra által 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 A 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 feje tréner Peter Manfredo, Sr. Megjegyzendő,. “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 Ricó-i olimpikon 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.

“”Saját teljesítménye jó volt,” 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 lbs. szerződés súlyát, de Lopez mérlegelni 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, de azt tedd le a második fordulóban egy jobb horoggal, és kivitte. (Lopez nem tudott választ adni a harang a harmadik fordulóban.)
(L-R) Toka Kahn-Clary és a játékvezető Jay Nady
“Én biztosan kész 10-Pókerarcok. (Fej tréner) Kimerül (Manfredo, Sr.) Mindig is nekem a sok kondicionáló munka. Mi sparred sok kört nyolc körös harcol, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, de itt leszek az edzőteremben következő hétfőn.”
A díszített amerikai amatőr, aki egy 131-11 rekord, által kiemelt aranyérmes teljesítményt a 2010 Nemzeti Golden Gloves Verseny, Kahn-Clary át a lövés, hogy a 2016 Egyesült Államokon kívül. Olimpiai ökölvívó csapat, fordult pro három évvel ezelőtt.
(L-R) – Fej tréner Peter Manfredo, Sr. & Toka Kahn-Clary
“Azt hiszem, Toka tett egy nagy nyilatkozatot, és így tett a Top Rank (Kahn-Clary promoter),” 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, talán januárban vagy februárban, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; ő csak 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, veri fel az edzőteremben, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.
Született Libéria, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Azt akarjuk, hogy versenyezzenek a legfelső szinten,” he explained. “Jövőre, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, még nem, de én ott leszek még egy évet.”
