Canadian welterweight Steve "The Dragon" Claggett (23-3-1, 16 KOs) and former IBO champion Chris "The Heat" Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs),, fighting out of his native South Africa by way of Santa Monica, California, square off in 12-round main event.

Saturday's "Knockout Night at the D" event will air (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. ET) live on CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.

Undefeated California welterweight Neeco "Rooster" Macias (11-0, 4 KOs) faces former Chicago Golden Gloves champion Limberth "Lightning" Ponce, Jr. (10-2, 8 KOs), of Rock Island, Illinois, in the 8-round co-feature.

A Baltimore welterweight, undefeated Malik "Iceman" Hawkins (6-0, 5 KOs), is in the first televised bout in a six-rounder versus New Orleans' Errol Sidney (6-1-2, 2 KOs). Jones signed Hawkins to a promotional contract after watching the youngster spar impressively, displaying tremendous power.
