Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs), fighting out of Santa Monica, California by way of South Africa, used his 3-inch height advantage against Claggett (23-3-1, 16 KOs), 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 ve 97-93 twice for Van Heerden.
I knew I won this fight, 120-yüzde, but I knew it was close,” Van Heerden commented. “We’re both winners bu gece 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 KOs) had a lot to crow about in the 8-round co-feature against Limberth “El Gallito” Ponce, Jr.(10-3, 8 KOs). 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 dedi. “I give Ponce much respect. We wanted to give fans a good show.
Baltimore welterweight Malik “Buz Adam” Hawkins (7-0, 6 KOs) verdi Errol “Spyda” Sidney (6-2-2, 2 KOs) 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.
Flashy Las Vegas welterweight prospect Jeremy “J-Flash” Nichols (3-0, 2 KOs) constantly pounded the body of his tough Mexican opponent, Jason “GibborGavino (3-2, 2 KOs), for a 4-round shutout victory,

Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs), fighting out of Santa Monica (GİBİ), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) ve Uluslararası Boks Federasyonu (IBF) ağır siklet şampiyonu.
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. Bu günlerde, gerçi, 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. geçen Eylül) 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, Kaliforniya

En Sıra

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

A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 kayıt), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Ulusal Altın Eldiven Turnuva, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 ABD'yi. Olimpiyat Boks Takımı, dönüm yanlısı üç yıl önce.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show Bu Cumartesi, headliner 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 arasında 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 baş antrenörü Peter Manfredo, Sr. ünlü. “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, Porto Rikolu 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.

CRANSTON, RI (Kasım 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas geçen Cuma gecesi, yenilmez blue-chip tüy siklet umudu Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOs) resmen sekiz ila on yuvarlak savaşçısı mezun oldu.
“”Benim performansı iyiydi,” 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. Sözleşme ağırlığı ancak Lopez tartılır 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, ama sağ kanca ile ikinci turda onu indirdi, ve onu çıkardı. (Lopez, üçüncü tur için çan cevap alamadı.)
(L-R,) Toka Kahn-Clary ve hakem Jay Nady
“Ben 10 rounders için kesinlikle hazırım. (Baş eğitmen) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) her zaman beni klima bir sürü iş yapıyor etti. Biz sekiz yuvarlak kavgalar için mermi bir sürü sparred, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, ama geri salonunda olacak gelecek pazartesi.”
Bir vardı bir şekilde dekore edilmiş Amerikalı amatör 131-11 kayıt, bir altın madalya performansı ile vurgulanan 2010 Ulusal Altın Eldiven Turnuva, Kahn-Clary yapmak için bir çekim geçti 2016 ABD'yi. Olimpiyat Boks Takımı, dönüm yanlısı üç yıl önce.
(L-R,) – Baş antrenör Peter Manfredo, Sr. & Toka Kahn-Clary
“Ben Toka büyük bir açıklama yaptı ve böylece Üst Rank yaptığını düşünüyor (Kahn-Clary adlı organizatörü),” 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, Belki Ocak veya Şubat ayında, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; O sadece 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, O spor yener, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.
Liberya doğumlu, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Ben en üst düzeyde rekabet istiyor,” açıkladı. “Gelecek yıl, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, henüz değil, ama bir yıl içinde orada olacağım.”
