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 i 97-93 twice for Van Heerden.

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.
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 KO), fighting out of Santa Monica (TAKIE JAK), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) oraz International Boxing Federation (IBF) mistrz wagi półśredniej.
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. Dzisiaj, chociaż, 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. ostatni wrzesień) 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

CRANSTON, RI(Luty 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Toka “T-Nicea” Kahn-Clary(17-0, 11 KO) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “Lampa błyskowa” 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 Krajowe Złote Rękawice turnieju, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 Patenty USA. Zespół Boks Olimpijski, toczenie pro trzy lata temu.
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 w sobotę, zatytułowała przez 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 z 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,” Trenerem Kahn-Clary Peter Manfredo, Sr. zauważyć. “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 Rico olimpijczyk 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.

CRANSTON, RI (Listopad 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KO) w ostatni piątek noc w The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, niepokonany blue chip piórkowej perspektywa Toka “T-Nicea” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KO) oficjalnie ukończył myśliwiec osiem do dziesięciu rundy.
“”Mój występ był dobry,” 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 kg. Waga kontraktu, ale Lopez ważył 132.2 kg.), but I didn’t think too much of it. I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, ale umieścić go w drugiej rundzie z prawym hakiem, wziął go,. (Lopez nie był w stanie odpowiedzieć na dzwonek do trzeciej rundy.)
(L-R) Toka Kahn-Clary i sędzia Jay Nady
“Zdecydowanie jestem gotowy na 10-rounders. (Trenerem) Piotr (Manfredo, Sr.) zawsze mi robi dużo pracy klimatyzacji. Mamy sparred wiele rund dla ośmiu okrągłych walk, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, ale będę z powrotem w siłowni Następny poniedziałek.”
A zdobiony amerykański amator, który miał 131-11 rekord, podkreślił występ złoty medal na 2010 Krajowe Złote Rękawice turnieju, Kahn-Clary przeszedł na strzał, aby 2016 Patenty USA. Zespół Boks Olimpijski, toczenie pro trzy lata temu.
(L-R) – Trenerem Peter Manfredo Jr., Sr. & Toka Kahn-Clary
“Myślę, że Toka zrobił wielki oświadczenie i tak zrobił Top Rank (Promotor Kahn-Clary),” 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, Może w styczniu lub w lutym, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; on jest tylko 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, bije się na siłownię, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.

Providence (Listopad 16, 2015) — Niepokonany piórkowej perspektywa Toka “T-Nicea” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KO) może być najlepszym, stosunkowo “nieznany” Prizefighter w kraju, przynajmniej poza Nowej Anglii.
A zdobiony amerykański amator, który miał 131-11 rekord, podkreślił występ złoty medal na 2010 Krajowe Złote Rękawice turnieju, Kahn-Clary wraca na ring w sobotę noc (Listopada. 20) w The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas przed meksykańskim przeciwnika Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KO) w tym, co ma być ostatnia runda zaplanowane osiem-Kahn-walka przed Clary absolwentów do 10-rounders.
“To trudne meksykański wojownik, który może box trochę na zewnątrz,” Kahn-Clary mówił o jego kolejnego przeciwnika, “ale on wychodzi, zbyt. On jest doświadczony i nie było się z wieloma dobrymi przeciwnikami.”
Lopez jest poważny test dla każdego perspektywą. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) w ubiegłym sierpień, 10-Podział wyciągnąć z okrągłym 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, i wspaniały piątej rundy nokaut techniczny 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez jest gracz,” Trenerem Kahn-Clary Peter Manfredo, Sr. dodane. 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, być może 8-10 miesiąc. We were offered a big fight but, musimy pierwszy jeden 10-round walki, i on się w tej walce na początku przyszłego roku.”
Kahn-Clary, walki z Opatrzności, spadając jego najbardziej znaczący zwycięstwo jako profesjonalny czerwca ubiegłego roku, w którym wszedł w klasie do podejmowania 33-11 Jonathan Perez, były kolumbijski Super koguciej i World Boxing Council (WBC) mistrz. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyJest tymczasowy tytuł półśredniej świecie pozyskać Jessie Vargas w Stubhub Center w Carson, Kalifornia.
23-letni, urodzony 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, gdzie mieszkał z rodzicami zastępczymi, którzy, szczerze, nie obchodzi mnie, co się z nimi stało.
Wszystkie znaki wskazywały na Toka się w kłopoty na ulicach Providence jako nastolatka, Szczególnie w czasach, kiedy był bezdomnym. Szczęśliwie, chociaż, przyjaciel zaprowadził go do Manfredo siłowni w Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, Prezydent USA Boks New England Jim Perella i para, która ostatecznie przyjęła go, Andrea Watson i Ron Clary, radykalnie zmieniła jego życie.
Kahn-Clary podpisał umowę promocyjną z Top Rank, który, wraz z menedżerem Mike Criscio i Manfredo, zostały przeniesione Kahn-Clary w stałym, w górę tempo. Kahn-Clary, nawiasem mówiąc, będą walczyć po raz trzeci w tym roku, po pięć w zeszłym roku.
“Najlepsza pozycja zrobił dobrą robotę utrzymując mnie zajęty,” 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.
“Jestem gotowy, teraz dla 10 lub 12 runda walki. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 i 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, (Zmęczonyl) Lomachenkoi (Lew) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.
Sparing jakości w Nowej Anglii jest na wagę złota, szczególnie dla wojownika mniejsze wagi, takich jak Kahn-Clary, który zdobył bezcenne doświadczenie sparing z super piórkowej WBAJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KO), trzykrotny olimpijczyk USA Rau'shee Warren i jego kolega i przyjaciel z Nowej Anglii, New Haven’s Luis “KO Król” Rosa (21-0, 10 KO).
“Piotr (Manfredo) i ja podróżować do Worcester (MA) i Connecticut, aby dostać dobrą pracę,” 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. Widziałem ich dzwonka generalship, ich ruch, 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, które to doświadczenie nauki. Jeśli nie uczyć się od sparingu, wszystkie kiedykolwiek będziesz to sparing partnerem.”
Manfredo została wokół i uświadamia sobie, że jego uczeń nagród, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Jestem dobrych przyjaciół z Freddie Roach i pojedziemy do Kalifornii i trenować na dziką kartę Siłownia,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, który jest jednym z najlepiej, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.
Tymczasem, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Pierwszy, chociaż, musi ominąć Lopez w sobotę noc, aby zachować jego rozpędu.
