LAS VEGAS (Augustus 15, 2016) – “Knockout Night at the D” returns to Las Vegas with the fourth series installment of the popular professional boxing series, Vrijdag nacht, September 9, luchten ( 11 p.m. EN / 8 p.m. PT) live op CBS Sports Network from the outdoor Centrum van Las Vegas Events Center
(DLVEC).
De “Knockout Night at the D” serie, gepresenteerd door het D Las Vegas en DLVEC, wordt gepromoot door Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksen Promotions. Hall Of Fame announcers Jim “J.R.” Ross en Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network.
Undefeated prospect Emmanuel “Renegade” Robles (15-0-1, 5 KO), uitvechten van San Diego, faces Canadian welterweight champion Steve “De draak” Claggett (33-4-1, 16 KO) in the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (Ook) – United States junior welterweight championship.
The 28-year-old Robles is a former WBC Latino super lightweight champion, as well as a 2008 National PAL gold medalist. The gifted southpaw has reeled-off 11consecutive victories since his 2012 draw with 7-0 Adrian Vargas. NABA No. 1 contender Robles’ signature win to date was last year’s second-round stoppage of Leon Spinks III, grandson of former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist Leon Spinks, who left the ring on a stretcher. Also notable are winning decisions versus 15-1 Yordenis Ugas en 13-1 Jonathan Chicas. His last fight was a fourth-round technical knockout of Gerardo Cuevas afgelopen mei.
Claggett, 27, is coming off of a disputed 10-round majority decision loss to Chris Van Heerden (23-2-1) last April at the DLVEC. Fighting out of Calgary, Alberta, Claggett is dropping down one weight class in order to challenge junior welterweight Robles for the vacant NABA – Verenigde Staten titel.

In a rare battle of unbeaten prospects, Roland “Rola” Garza (9-0, 6 KO) meets popular California junior middleweight Neeco “The Rooster” Macias (12-0, 6 KO) in the 8-round co-feature.
Garza, 24, was an outstanding amateur boxer in Mexico, where he compiled a 120-12 record, earning a spot on the Mexican National Team. Afgelopen juni, Garza won a thrilling 6-round decision over previously unbeaten Erasmo garcia (5-0-1) at the DLVEC.
