CRANSTON, RI(Febreiro 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Tokaido “T-Niza” Kahn Clary-(17-0, 11 Kos) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “Flash” Cota (18-5-1, 16 Kos) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, California. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rexistro), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Torneo Luvas de Ouro nacionais, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Equipo de Boxeo Olímpico, que se fixo profesional hai tres anos.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” López (19-10-1, 13 Kos) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show este sábado, encabezado polo 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 do 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,” Train cabeza de Kahn-Clary Peter Manfredo, Sr. notado. “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 Rican 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 (Novembro 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” López (19-10-1, 13 Kos) o venres pasado pola noite en The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, invicto blue-chip pluma perspectiva Tokaido “T-Niza” Kahn Clary- (17-0, 11 Kos) foi oficialmente formouse un loitador de oito a dez rolda.
“”Meu rendemento foi bo,” 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. peso pesado contrato, pero López 132.2 lb.), but I didn’t think too much of it. I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, pero eu poñelas abaixo no segundo round cun gancho de dereita, e levou-o para fora. (López non puido responder a badalada ao terceiro round.)

“Estou sempre preparado para 10-rounders. (Adestrador de cabeza) Peter (Manfredo, Sr) sempre me facendo unha chea de traballo acondicionado. Nós pelexaron moito roldas para loitas de oito rolda, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, pero eu vou estar de volta no ximnasio Próxima segunda.”
Un afeccionado americano decorados que tivo un 131-11 rexistro, destacando unha performance da medalla de ouro no 2010 Torneo Luvas de Ouro nacionais, Kahn-Clary pasou nun tiro para facer o 2016 U.S. Equipo de Boxeo Olímpico, que se fixo profesional hai tres anos.

“Creo Tokaido fixo unha gran declaración e así o fixo 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, quizais en xaneiro ou febreiro, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; el só é 23.
“Toka’s really maturing. He still doesn’t have ‘man strength’ but he’s getting there. He always works hard. He spars hard with bigger guys. He doesn’t just beat up a sparring partner, bate o ximnasio, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Nacido en Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Quero competir no nivel superior,” he explained. “Ano, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, Aínda non, pero eu estarei alí un ano.”

Para loitar Sergio López este sábado en Las Vegas

Providencia (Novembro 16, 2015) — Pluma perspectiva invicto Tokaido “T-Niza” Kahn Clary- (16-0, 10 Kos) pode ser o mellor, relativamente “descoñecido” prizefighter no país, polo menos fóra de Nova Inglaterra.
Un afeccionado americano decorados que tivo un 131-11 rexistro, destacando unha performance da medalla de ouro no 2010 Torneo Luvas de Ouro nacionais, Kahn-Clary retorna ao arena este sábado noite (Novembro. 20) en The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas contra adversario mexicano Sergio “Cuatito” López (19-9-1, 13 Kos) en que se quere que sexa a última programada ataque de oito rolda de Kahn-Clary antes de se formar a 10-rounders.
“El é un loitador mexicano duro que pode caixa algo no exterior,” Kahn-Clary falou sobre o seu próximo rival, “pero ven á fronte, moi. El é experta e foi con unha morea de bos adversarios.”
López é unha proba importante para calquera perspectiva. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) en agosto pasado, 10-división rolda deseñar con 24-7-1 Joksan Hernández, e unha impresionante quinta rolda KO técnico de 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“López é un gamer,” Train cabeza de Kahn-Clary Peter Manfredo, Sr. engadido. 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, quizais 8-10 meses. We were offered a big fight but, necesitamos unha loita de 10 redonda primeiro, e el tirou esa loita a principios do próximo ano.”
Kahn Clary-, loitando fóra da Providencia, está saíndo da súa vitoria máis notábel como en xuño pasado profesional, en que entrou na clase para asumir 33-11 Jonathan Perez, o ex super galo colombiana e do Consello Mundial de Boxeo (WBC) campión. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyO título welterweight mundial interino conquistar Jessie Vargas en StubHub Center en Carson, California.
A 23-year-old, que naceu Tokaido 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, onde moraban cos pais adoptivos que, francamente, non ligaba para o que pasou con eles.
Todos os sinais apuntan Tokaido metendo en confusión nas rúas Providencia como un novo, en especial nos períodos, cando era sen teito. Afortunadamente, aínda, correo levouno ao Ximnasio Manfredo en Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, Presidente estadounidense Boxeo New England Jim Perella ea parella que, finalmente, adoptouse o, Andrea Watson e Ron Clary, cambiou radicalmente a súa vida.
Kahn-Clary asinou un contrato de promoción coa Top Rank, que, xunto co director Mike Criscio e Manfredo, mudáronse Kahn Clary nun constante, ritmo ascendente. Kahn Clary-, incidentalmente, estará loitando por terceira vez este ano, despois de cinco o ano pasado.
 “Top Rank fixo un bo traballo manténdose me ocupado,” 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.“Estou listo agora para unha 10 ou 12 loita rolda. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 e 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, (Cansoeu) Lomachenkoe (León) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Calidade de sparring na Nova Inglaterra é un premio, especialmente para un loitador de menor peso, como Kahn Clary-, que gañou experiencia inestimable sparring con WBA Super PenaJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), tres veces EUA olímpico Rau'shee Warren eo seu compañeiro New England e amigo, New Haven’s Luís “KO Rei” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) e me viaxar Worcester (MA) e Connecticut para estar bo traballo,” 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. Vin o seu generalato anel, seu movemento, 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, que é unha experiencia de aprendizaxe. Se non aprender dende sparring, todo o que non vai ser é un compañeiro de adestramento.”
Manfredo foi en torno e el entende que o seu alumno premio, Kahn Clary-, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Eu son unha boa amizade con Freddie Roach e imos a California e adestrar no Ximnasio Cartón salvaxe,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, que é un dos mellores, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Entrementes, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Primeiro, aínda, ten que pasar por López este sábado noite para manter o seu ímpeto.
