Cranston, RI(Febroary 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 “Flash” Cota (18-5-1, 16 Kos) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, California. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rakitsoratra), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 National Golden fonon-tanana fifaninanana, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Ady Totohondry Olaimpika Team, nitodika mpomba ny telo taona lasa izay.
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 Sabotsy ity, headlined ny 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 ny 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 ny lohan'i mpanazatra Peter Manfredo, Sr. nanamarika. “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 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.”

“”Ny fampisehoana tsara,” 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. fifanekena lanja fa Lopez nolanjainy 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, fa nataony teo amin'ny fihodinana faharoa miaraka amin'ny tsara hook, dia nitondra azy ho eny ivelan'ny. (Lopez dia tsy afaka namaly ny lakolosy ho an'ny fihodinana fahatelo.)

“Tena vonona aho ny 10-rounders. (Head mpanazatra) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) foana no manao be dia be ahy ny asa pana.

I won’t be fighting again until next year, Ho tonga toa fa hiverina any amin'ny fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena Alatsinainy manaraka.”

“Mino aho fa lehibe toka nanao fanambarana ary toy izany koa Top Rank (Kahn-Clary ny mampiroborobo),” 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, mety ao Janoary na Febroary, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; Izy ihany no 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, dia mikapoka ny fanaovana fanatanjahan-tena, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Teraka tany Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Te-hifaninana amin'ny ambaratonga ambony,” he explained. “Next taona, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, tsy mbola, fa ho any aho tamin'ny taona iray hafa.”

I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 ary 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, (RerakaL) Lomachenkoary (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
