CRANSTON, RI(Februāris 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 “Zibspuldze” Cota (18-5-1, 16 Kos) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Kalifornija. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 ieraksts), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Valsts Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 Neatrodas ASV. Olympic Boxing Team, pirms pagrieziena pro trim gadiem.
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 Šo sestdien, headlined ar 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 no 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,” Kāns-Clary galva treneris Peter Manfredo, Sr. atzīmēts. “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, Puertorikāņu olimpietis Orlando Cruzand Russian champion Andrejs Kļimovs.
“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.”

“Es domāju, ka Toka nospēlēja lielu paziņojumu un tā darīja Top Rank (Kāns-Clary ir veicinātājs),” 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, varbūt janvārī vai februārī, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; viņš ir tikai 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, viņš sit up trenažieru zāli, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Dzimis Libērija, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Es gribu, lai konkurētu augšējā līmenī,” he explained. “Nākamgad, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents.

PROVIDENCE (Novembris 16, 2015) — Undefeated viegls izredzes Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Kos) var būt labākais, relatīvi “nezināms” prizefighter valstī, vismaz ārpus New England.
Izgreznotas American amatieris, kurš bija 131-11 ieraksts, izcelts ar zelta medaļu sniegumu tajā 2010 Valsts Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary atgriežas ringā Šo sestdien nakts (Novembris. 20) The Las Vegas Cosmopolitan pret Meksikas pretinieku Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) kādā vajadzētu būt Kāns-Clary pēdējā plānotā astoņu kārta cīkstēšanās, pirms viņš absolventiem līdz 10 Rounders.
“Viņš ir grūts meksikāņu cīnītājs, kurš var kaste nedaudz ārpusē,” Kahn-Clary runāja par viņa nākamo pretinieku, “bet viņš nāk uz priekšu, pārāk. Viņš ir pieredzējis un ir bijis ar daudz labiem pretiniekiem.”
Lopez ir nopietns pārbaudījums jebkuram izredzes. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) pagājušā augusts, 10-apaļas split izdarīt ar 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, un apdullināšanu piektā kārta tehniskais nokauts no 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez ir gamer,” Kāns-Clary galva treneris Peter Manfredo, Sr. pievienotās. 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, var būt 8-10 mēneši. We were offered a big fight but, mums vajag vienu 10-apaļas cīņu pirmais, un viņš iegūtu, ka cīņa nākamā gada sākumā.”
Kahn-Clary, cīnoties no Providence, nāk pie viņa visvairāk ievērojamu uzvaru kā profesionāls pagājušā gada jūnijā, kurā viņš pastiprinājusi klasē uzņemties 33-11 Jonathan Perez, Bijusī Kolumbijas super bantamweight un Pasaules Boksa padome (WBC) čempions. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy Bradley'S pagaidu pasaules papildsvars title win over Jessie Vargas at StubHub centrā Carson, Kalifornija.
23 gadus vecais, kurš dzimis 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, kur viņi dzīvoja ar audžu vecākiem, kuri, atklāti, bija vienalga, kas notika ar viņiem.
Visas pazīmes norādīja uz Toka kļūst jo nepatikšanas par providence ielām kā zēns, īpaši pie reizes, kad viņš bija bezpajumtnieki. Laimīgi, tomēr, draugs atveda uz Manfredo Gym in Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boksa New England prezidents Jim Perella un pāris, kas galu galā pieņēma viņu, Andrea Watson un Ron Clary, krasi mainīja savu dzīvi.
Kahn-Clary parakstīja reklāmas līgumu ar Top Rank, kurš, kopā ar menedžeri Mike Criscio un Manfredo, ir pārvietots Kahn-Clary vienmērīgā, augšup temps. Kahn-Clary, starp citu, tiks cīnās jau trešo reizi šogad, pēc tam, kad piecas pagājušajā gadā.
 “Top Rank ir paveicis labu darbu, tur mani aizņemts,” 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.“Es esmu gatavs tieši tagad priekšlikums 10 vai 12 kārta cīņa. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 un 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, (Apnicisl) Lomachenkoun (Lauva) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Kvalitāte sparring New England ir piemaksas, jo īpaši attiecībā uz mazāka svara cīnītājs piemēram Kahn-Clary, kurš ir guvis nenovērtējamu pieredzi sparring ar WBA super vieglsJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), trīs laika US olimpietis Rau'shee Warren un viņa kolēģi New England un draugs, New Haven’s Luis “KO King” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) un man doties uz Worcester (MA) un Connecticut, lai iegūtu labu darbu,” 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. Esmu redzējis viņu gredzena prasmīga, to kustība, 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, kas ir mācīšanās pieredze. Ja jums nav mācīties no sparring, viss jums kādreiz ir sarunu partneris.”
Manfredo ir aptuveni, un viņš saprot, ka viņa balvu students, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Es esmu labi draugi ar Freddie Roach un mēs iet uz Kaliforniju un apmācīt pie Wild Card Sporta zāle,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, kas ir viens no labākajiem, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Tikmēr, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Pirmais, tomēr, viņš ir, lai saņemtu agrāk Lopez Šo sestdien nakts, lai saglabātu savu virzību,.
