"Knockout Night at the D" returns Sept. 9, Robles vs. Claggett, Garza vs. Macias PhilBoxing.com Tue, 16 Aug 2016  Live on CBS Sports Network from Downtown Las Vegas Events Center LAS VEGAS (August 15, 2016) - "Knockout Night at the D" returns to Las Vegas with the fourth series installment of the popular professional boxing series, Friday night, September 9, airing (11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT) live on CBS Sports Network from the outdoor Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC). The "Knockout Night at the D" series, presented by the D Las Vegas and DLVEC, is promoted by Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boxing Promotions. Hall Of Fame announcers Jim "J.R." Ross and Al Bernstein will call all of the action from ringside on CBS Sports Network. Undefeated prospect Emmanuel "Renegade" Robles (15-0-1, 5 KOs), fighting out of San Diego, faces Canadian welterweight champion Steve "The Dragon" Claggett (33-4-1, 16 KOs) in the 10-round main event for the vacant North American Boxing Association (NABA) - 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 and 13-1 Jonathan Chicas. His last fight was a fourth-round technical knockout of Gerardo Cuevas this past May. 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 - United States title. In a rare battle of unbeaten prospects, Roland "Rola" Garza (9-0, 6 KOs) meets popular California junior middleweight Neeco "The Rooster" Macias (12-0, 6 KOs) 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. This past June, Garza won a thrilling 6-round decision over previously unbeaten Erasmo Garcia (5-0-1) at the DLVEC. The always entertaining Macias, 25, who crows like a rooster in the ring before and after fights, had fans on their feet in his last fight, which was a non-stop brawl at the DLVEC with Limberth Ponce this past April, ending in a unanimous 8-round decision for Macias. Undercard fights will soon be announced. All fights and fighters are subject to change.
