Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 Biaya), fighting out of Santa Monica, California by way of South Africa, used his 3-inch height advantage against Claggett (23-3-1, 16 Biaya), 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 dan 97-93 twice for Van Heerden.
I knew I won this fight, 120-persen, but I knew it was close,” Van Heerden commented. “We’re both winners malam ini 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 Biaya) had a lot to crow about in the 8-round co-feature against Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce, Jr.(10-3, 8 Biaya). 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.

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 Biaya), fighting out of Santa Monica (SEPERTI), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) dan Federasi Tinju Internasional (IBF) Juara kelas welter.
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. Sekarang, meskipun, 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. September lalu) 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!”

Top Rank

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

Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 Biaya) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show Sabtu ini, berjudul oleh 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 dari 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 ini kepala pelatih Peter Manfredo, Sr. terkenal. “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, ber-AC, 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 Rico Olympian 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.

Saya mengatakan kepada mereka untuk memberi kita bertarung 10 ronde pertama, mungkin di Januari atau Februari, dan kemudian kita bisa bicara tentang dia berjuang seorang pria atas. Ada tidak terburu-buru; dia hanya 23.
“Toka benar-benar jatuh tempo. Dia masih tidak memiliki 'kekuatan manusia’ tapi dia mendapatkan ada. Dia selalu bekerja keras. Dia spar keras dengan orang-orang yang lebih besar. Dia tidak hanya memukuli sparring partner, ia memukuli gym, tiga atau empat pejuang sesi. Dan sebagian besar waktu dia perdebatan orang besar dan menggunakan sarung tangan besar.”
Lahir di Liberia, 23 tahun Kahn-Clary adalah rising star dengan harapan tinggi. “Saya ingin bersaing di tingkat atas,” jelasnya. “Tahun depan, Saya akan terus bekerja keras dan mudah-mudahan melawan beberapa lawan yang layak bernama.
