CRANSTON, RI(Februari 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Contest “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 rekod), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Sarung Tangan Emas Negara Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 A.S.. Olimpik Tinju Pasukan, beralih pro tiga tahun lalu.
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 Sabtu ini, bertajuk oleh 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 daripada 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,” Ketua jurulatih Kahn-Clary ini Peter Manfredo, Sr. perhatian. “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.”

I was a little concerned that my opponent came in overweight (128 lbs. berat kontrak tetapi Lopez ditimbang 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, tetapi saya meletakkan dia di pusingan kedua dengan cangkuk kanan, dan membawanya keluar.

“Saya pasti bersedia untuk 10 serba boleh. (Ketua jurulatih) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) sentiasa telah saya melakukan banyak kerja-kerja penyaman.

“Saya rasa Contest membuat kenyataan besar dan begitu juga Rank Top (Promoter Kahn-Clary ini),” 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, mungkin dalam bulan Januari atau Februari, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; dia hanya 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 berdegup sehingga gym, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”

Providence (November 16, 2015) — Prospek bulu tanpa ditewaskan Contest “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KOs) boleh menjadi yang terbaik, agak “tidak diketahui” prizefighter di negara ini, sekurang-kurangnya di luar New England.
A amatur Amerika dihiasi yang mempunyai 131-11 rekod, diketengahkan oleh prestasi pingat emas di 2010 Sarung Tangan Emas Negara Tournament, Kahn-Clary kembali ke gelanggang Sabtu ini malam (November. 20) di The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas terhadap lawan Mexico Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KOs) dalam apa yang sepatutnya menjadi dijadualkan terakhir lapan pusingan pertarungan Kahn-Clary sebelum dia lulusan 10 serba boleh.
“Dia seorang pejuang yang sukar Mexico yang boleh kotak yang sedikit di luar,” Kahn-Clary bercakap mengenai lawan seterusnya, “tetapi dia datang ke hadapan, terlalu. Dia yang berpengalaman dan telah dengan banyak lawan yang baik.”
Lopez adalah ujian yang serius bagi apa-apa prospek. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) ini Ogos lalu, 10-split pusingan menarik dengan 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, dan kelima pusingan kalah mati teknikal yang menakjubkan 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez adalah peminat permainan video,” Ketua jurulatih Kahn-Clary ini Peter Manfredo, Sr. tambah. 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, mungkin 8-10 bulan. We were offered a big fight but, kita perlu satu 10 pusingan perjuangan pertama, dan dia mendapatkan perjuangan itu awal tahun depan.”
Kahn-Clary, berjuang daripada Providence, adalah datang dari kemenangan yang paling ketara sebagai pemain profesional Jun lalu, di mana dia melangkah di dalam kelas untuk mengambil 33-11 Jonathan Perez, bekas bantamweight super Colombia dan Majlis Tinju Dunia (WBC) juara. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy Bradley'S gelaran welterweight dunia interim memenangi Jessie Vargas di Arena Home Depot di Carson, California.
Pemain berusia 23 tahun itu, yang lahir Contest 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, di mana mereka tinggal dengan ibu bapa angkat yang, terus-terang, tidak peduli apa yang berlaku kepada mereka.
Semua tanda-tanda menunjuk kepada Contest mendapat dalam kesusahan di jalan-jalan Providence sebagai anak muda, terutamanya pada masa-masa, ketika dia kehilangan tempat tinggal. Mujurlah, walaupun, rakan yang membawanya ke Gym Manfredo dalam Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, Presiden Amerika Syarikat Tinju New England Jim Perella dan pasangan itu yang akhirnya diterima pakai dia, Andrea Watson dan Ron Clary, secara mendadak mengubah hidupnya.
Kahn-Clary menandatangani kontrak promosi dengan Rank Top, yang, bersama-sama dengan pengurus Mike Criscio dan Manfredo, telah berpindah Kahn-Clary pada yang stabil, kadar menaik. Kahn-Clary, kebetulan, akan berperang untuk kali ketiga tahun ini, selepas lima tahun lepas.
 “Rank atasan telah menjalankan tugas yang baik menjaga saya sibuk,” 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.“Saya sudah bersedia sekarang untuk 10 atau 12 perjuangan pusingan. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 dan 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, (Letihl) Lomachenkodan (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Perselisihan yang ada di New England adalah pada premium, terutama bagi seorang pejuang yang lebih kecil-berat seperti Kahn-Clary, yang telah mendapat pengalaman yang tidak ternilai perdebatan dengan WBA super buluJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KOs), tiga kali US Olympian Rau'shee Warren dan rakan-rakan New England dan rakan, New Haven’s Luis “KO King” Rosa (21-0, 10 KOs).
“Peter (Manfredo) saya pergi ke Worcester (MA) dan Connecticut untuk mendapatkan kerja yang baik,” 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. Saya telah melihat gendral cincin mereka, pergerakan mereka, 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, yang merupakan satu pengalaman pembelajaran. Jika anda tidak belajar daripada perselisihan, semua yang anda pernah akan merupakan rakan sparring.”
Manfredo telah wujud dan dia sedar bahawa pelajar hadiahnya, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Saya berkawan baik dengan Freddie Roach dan kami akan keluar ke California dan berlatih di Kad Gim Wild,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, yang merupakan salah satu yang terbaik, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Sementara itu, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Pertama, walaupun, dia perlu melepasi Lopez Sabtu ini malam untuk mengekalkan momentum itu akan.
