Cestus Management’s 140-pound destroyer, Robert "Nighthawk" Luna Jr. made his professional debut on the under card of the Class Act promotional event held in Round Rock, Texas.

Luna Jr. who is from San Antonio Texas, gave the local fans present a true display of power and technical boxing as the ex-United States Armed Forces solider that honorably represented his Country in Iraq and Afghanistan , had his first win by completely outclassing and schooling fellow Texas Jessie Villareal. Winning a clear decision over four rounds. The "Nighthawk" hammered the game Villarel four four rounds, with Villareal surviving some very hectic moments from Luna's non-stop onsloughts and absorbing major punishment throughout the fight.

Luna Jr started hard and fast shooting stiff jabs that where knocking Villarreal's head back. Robert used smooth, crisp combinations and big booming right hand shots that caught Villarreal flush. To his credit Villarreal, a veteran of ten fights, hung in there but absorbed major punishment and was just simply outclassed by the " Nighthawk’s” speed, power and superb combination punching. Luna Jr. showed some great moves during the fight and looks like he has the potential to be a prospect that everyone will be hearing about in the not to distant future.

Right after the fight Robert Jr. said, “I’m so excited now that i have my first win and my professional boxing career is underway. Now I look forward to my next fight on December 5, (2008) in Laredo , Texas . I new i would win. I was very nervous before the fight because i wanted to win so bad.
