קראַנסטאָן, רי(פעברואַר 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star טאָקאַ “ה-ניס” קאַהן-קלאַרי(17-0, 11 קאָס) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “בליץ” Cota (18-5-1, 16 קאָס) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, קאַליפאָרניאַ. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 רעקאָרד), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 לאַנדיש גאָלדען גלאָוועס טאָורנאַמענט, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 יוז. אָלימפּיק באָקסינג מאַנשאַפֿט, אויסגעדרייט פּראָ דריי יאר צוריק.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of סערגיאָ “קואַטיטאָ” לאָפּעז (19-10-1, 13 קאָס) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show דעם שבת, כעדליינד דורך 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 פון די 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,” קאַהן-קלאַרי ס קאָפּ טריינער Peter מאַנפרעדאָ, סיסטער. אנגעוויזן. “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 challengerיונתן אָקווענדאָ, פּאָרטאַ ריקאַן אָלימפּיאַן Orlando Cruzand Russian champion אַנדריי קלימאָוו.
“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.”

In celebration of the best rivalries on SHOWTIME, see below for a special column from SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst and boxing historian סטיוו פאַרהאָאָד.
RIVALRIES
By Steve Farhood
Boxing without rivalries would be like elections without debates.
Rivalries are natural, especially in boxing. Who is the best prospect in the neighborhood?
Who is the best bantamweight in Mexico? Who is the best fighter in the entire world?
Fans want to know, and so do the fighters, especially if a one-on-one matchup is likely to provide a definitive answer.
The best example comes from the best rivalry in history, regardless of sport: When Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier clashed in their rubber match in Manila, they were fighting for something much greater than the world heavyweight title. They were fighting for the championship of each other.
Ali-Frazier … Robinson-LaMotta … Louis-Schmeling … Barrera-Morales … Mayweather-Pacquiao … Pep-Saddler … Leonard-Duran … Holyfield-Tyson: Boxing history has been told through its juiciest rivalries.
אין 30 years of memorable fighters and unforgettable fights, SHOWTIME boxing’s history can largely be told through its rivalries as well.
אויף שאָוטיים עקסטרעם, we’ll be focusing on two rivalries in particular: Rafael Marquez-Israel Vazquez and Paulie Ayala-Johnny Tapia.
Marquez-Vazquez is the equal of any pairing in recent history. So compelling were the battles, so consuming was the rivalry that many fans can’t tell you what the final scoreboard read. It didn’t matter all that much.
(Fittingly, the fighters split four bouts.)
What made Marquez-Vazquez different from most rivalries: They were defined more by similarities than differences. Most rivalries feature stark contrast. Think Borg-McEnroe. Or Bird-Magic. Or Evert-Navratilova. But Marquez and Vazquez were both classy champions from Mexico who needed each other to raise their profiles and all-time standings.
They gave us no trash-talking, no posturing, no hatred, real or imagined. אַנשטאָט, they punched and bled and fought proudly and at the highest level. And because of the classic ring drama they created, that was more than enough.
Suffice to say that two of their bouts were chosen as Fight of the Year. And Marquez-Vazquez III was surely among the best fights I’ve covered live in my 37 years in boxing.
It was a bit different with Ayala and Tapia. When they first fought, Ayala wasn’t a familiar name. Tapia, אויף די אנדערע האַנט, was an undefeated and long-reigning champion with a unique personality and a distinctive ring persona.
A suitable rival is exactly what Tapia needed to fully realize the potential that we sensed when he soundly defeated New Mexico rival Danny Romero two years before.
A pair of controversial decisions, the contentiousness that marked the negotiations preceding the rematch, and Tapia’s raw emotion made Ayala-Tapia a particularly bitter rivalry.
It was a memorable rivalry as well.

נייַ יארק (פעברואר. 3, 2016) – Former three-division world champions אַבנער מאַרעס און Fernando Montiel will square off in all-action co-feature on Saturday, מאַרץ 12, live on CBS at 8:30 פּ.ם. און / 5:30 פּ.ם. פּט.
In the main event of the first primetime boxing presentation on CBS in nearly 40 יאָרן, welterweight knockout artist קיט טערמאַן will defend his WBA Welterweight World Championship against former titlist שאָן פּאָרטער in a matchup of two elite fighters in boxing’s glamour division.
די געשעעניש, promoted by DiBella Entertainment from Mohegan Sun Casino Resortin Connecticut, is produced by SHOWTIME Sports® for the CBS Television Network, both divisions of the CBS Corporation.
מאָטהערס (29-2-1, 15 קאָס) and Montiel (54-5-2, 39 קאָס) are two of the most accomplished and entertaining Mexican boxers in the sport today. Mares compiled a staggering resume over the past five years while earning titles at 118, 122 און 126 פונט. Montiel is one of the most skilled boxers of his generation having won championships at 112, 115 און 118 pounds over a 17-year career.
“I’m ready to get back in the ring and have the boxing world see the monster that the Mares and Robert Garcia partnership is creating,” האט אַבנער מאַרעס. “I’m a tough fighter. I’ve made some adjustments and I will show my warrior spirit and skill on March 12. It’s time to go to work.”
“I have been wanting to fight Abner Mares for many years,” סאַיד Montiel. “They say that styles make fights and Abner Mares’ style is tailor made for me. My last fight was a close decision against one of the best featherweights in the world in Lee Selby. I need to make every fight count and on March 12 Abner Mares will be my next step to another world title!”
“Abner Mares and Fernando Montiel are both proud warriors,” האט Lou דיבעללאַ, פרעזידענט פון דיבעללאַ פֿאַרווייַלונג. “Both are coming off tough, competitive fights and both must win to once again realize championship dreams. This will be a throw down, entertaining battle.”
טיקקעץ פֿאַר די לעבן געשעעניש זענען פּרייסט בייַ $300, $150, $75 און $35 (פּלוס אָנווענדלעך פיז) and are on sale now through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; רופן (800) 745-3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets are also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office.
געבוירן אין Guadalajara, Jalisco, מעקסיקא און פייטינג אויס פון דאָווניי, קאַליף., Mares won his first title in 2011 when he beat Joseph Agbeko to win the bantamweight crown. He continued his rise up the pound-for-pound list with wins over Anselmo Moreno and Daniel Ponce De Leon to win world titles at super bantamweight and featherweight. The 30-year-old won three straight fights leading to a massive showdown with Leo Santa Cruz last August. Mares showed the same explosiveness that made him a multiple division world champion in a thrilling Fight of the Year candidate that he lost by decision. The always-exciting Mares will enter the ring for the first time under the tutelage of renowned trainer Robert Garcia and strength coach Luis Garcia as he looks to work his way towards another world title.
The veteran Montiel won his first world title in 2000 over Isidro Garcia and went on to have title-winning performances over Pedro Alzacar, איוואן הערנאַנדעז, ז קאַפּס, סיסאָ מאָראַלעס און האָזומי האַסעגאַוואַ. געבוירן אין Sinaloa, מעקסיקא, Montiel rode an eight-fight win streak heading into his October world title shot against Lee Selby. Montiel’s aggressive style frustrated Selby but it was not enough for him to grab a title in his fourth weight class. The 36-year-old has an opportunity to get back in the mix for a world title with a victory over Mares.
