 LAS VEGAS (Kwiecień 5, 2016) – Kwietniowy 16th10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “Smok” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “Ciepło” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.
The “Knockout Night at the D” seria, Przedstawione przez D Las Vegas iCentrum Las Vegas Events Center(DLVEC), jest promowana przez Roy Jones Jr.. (RJJ) Promocje bokserskie.
APR. 16th “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Sobota noc, Kwiecień 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. I), żyć CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock i były mistrz świata Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 KO), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “To spełnienie marzeń,” wyjaśnił. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. Needless to say, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”

Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KO), fighting out of Santa Monica (TAKIE JAK), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) oraz International Boxing Federation (IBF) mistrz wagi półśredniej.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. Dzisiaj, chociaż, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Errol Spence Jr. ostatni wrzesień) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
