CRANSTON, Ri(Pebrero 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 talaan), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 National Golden guwantes Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team, pag pro tatlong taon na ang nakaraan.
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 ito Sabado, headlined sa pamamagitan ng 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 ng 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,” Head trainer Kahn-Clary ni Peter Manfredo, Sr. litaw. “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.”

“”Aking pagganap ay magandang,” 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. kontrata timbang ngunit Lopez tinimbang 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, ngunit ko bang ilagay sa kanya down sa pangalawang bilog na may isang right hook, at kinuha siya sa labas. (Hindi upang sagutin ang bell para sa mga third-ikot Lopez ay.)

“Sa tingin ko Toka ginawa ng isang malaking statement at sa gayon ay Top Rank (Tagataguyod Kahn-Clary ni),” 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, siguro sa Enero o Pebrero, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; siya ay lamang 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, siya beats up ang gym, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Ipinanganak sa Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Gusto ko na makipagkumpetensya sa tuktok na antas,” he explained. “Sa susunod na taon, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, hindi pa, ngunit kailangan ko riyan sa isa pang taon.”

Talaga ng diyos (Nobyembre 16, 2015) — Undefeated featherweight asam Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Kos) maaaring ang pinakamahusay na, medyo “hindi kilala” prizefighter sa bansa, hindi bababa sa labas ng New England.
Ang isang ginayakan Amerikano amateur na nagkaroon ng isang 131-11 talaan, naka-highlight sa pamamagitan ng isang pagganap gold-medalya sa 2010 National Golden guwantes Tournament, Kahn-Clary bumabalik sa singsing ito Sabado gabi (Nobyembre. 20) sa The Cosmopolitan ng Las Vegas laban Mexican na kalaban Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) sa kung ano ang dapat na maging huling scheduled eight-ikot labanan Kahn-Clary bago siya nagtapos sa 10-rounders.

Lopez ay isang malubhang pagsubok para sa anumang pag-asam. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) ito nakaraang Agosto, 10-gumuhit may round split 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, at isang nakamamanghang ika-limang-round technical knockout ng 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez ay isang gamer,” Head trainer Kahn-Clary ni Peter Manfredo, Sr. Idinagdag. 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, siguro 8-10 na buwan. We were offered a big fight but, unang kailangan namin ng isa sa 10-round fight, at siya kumuha na fight maaga sa susunod na taon.”
Kahn-Clary, aaway out sa Providence, ay darating off ang kanyang pinaka-tanyag na tagumpay bilang isang propesyonal na noong Hunyo, kung saan siya stepped up sa klase na kumuha sa 33-11 Jonathan Perez, ang dating Colombian super bantamweight at World Boxing Council (WBC) tagapagtanggol. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyTitle pansamantalang mundo welterweight ni manalo ng higit sa Jessie Vargas sa StubHub Center sa Carson, California.
Ang 23-taon gulang na, na ipinanganak 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, kung saan sila nakatira sa foster magulang na, lantaran, hindi pag-aalaga kung ano ang nangyari sa kanila.
Lahat ng mga palatandaan itinuturo sa Toka pagkuha sa problema sa Providence kalye bilang isang kabataan, lalo na sa mga oras, kapag siya ay walang-bahay. Sa kabutihang-palad, kahit na, nagdala ng isang kaibigan sa kanya upang Manfredo ni Gym sa Pawtuckert, Ri. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England president Jim Perella at ang mag-asawa na ang huli pinagtibay kanya, Andrea Watson at Ron Clary, kapansin-pansing nagbago ang kanyang buhay.
Kahn-Clary sign isang promotional kontrata sa Top Rank, saan, kasama ang manager Mike Criscio at Manfredo, Inilipat Kahn-Clary sa isang tumatag, pataas na tulin. Kahn-Clary, hindi sinasadya, ay labanan para sa pangatlong beses sa taong ito, pagkatapos ng pagkakaroon ng limang nakaraang taon.
 “Top Rank ay tapos na isang mahusay na trabaho ng pagsunod sa akin abala,” 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.“Handa na ako ngayon para sa isang 10 o 12 round fight. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 at 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, (Napapagodl) Lomachenkoat (Leon) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Marka ng sparring sa New England ay sa isang premium, lalo na para sa isang mas maliit na-weight fighter tulad Kahn-Clary, na ay nagkamit ng walang kasinghalaga karanasan sparing sa WBA super featherweightJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), three-time US Olympian Rau'shee Warren at sa kanyang kapwa New England at kaibigan, New Haven’s Luis “KO King” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) at sa akin paglalakbay sa Worcester (MA) at Connecticut upang makakuha ng magandang trabaho,” 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. Nakita ko na ang kanilang mga singsing pagheheneral, ang kanilang mga kilusan, 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, kung saan ay isang karanasan sa pag-aaral. Kung hindi mo matuto mula sa sparring, lahat ng makikita mo kailanman ay isang kasosyo sparring.”
Manfredo ay sa paligid at napagtanto niya na ang kanyang premyo ng mag-aaral, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Ako ay mabuting kaibigan sa Freddie Roach at kami ay pumunta sa California at sanayin sa Wild Card Gym,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, na isa sa mga pinakamahusay na, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Samantala, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Una, kahit na, siya ay may upang makakuha ng nakaraang Lopez ito Sabado gabi upang panatilihin ang kanyang momentum pagpunta.
