Daniel Gonzalez defeats Michael Anderson in "Brick City Fight Night Series" main event at Prudential Center

PhilBoxing.com





NEWARK, N.J. — “Brick City Fight Night Series” returned to Prudential Center in Newark on Saturday, October 12, bringing excitement and thrills to “The Rock.” The event drew a crowd of 3,647 fans, marking the return of club show boxing to North Jersey.

In the main event, Daniel “El Gallo” Gonzalez scored the biggest victory of his career, defeating Michael “Slick” Anderson by unanimous decision in their ten-round welterweight fight. Gonzalez (22-4-1, 7 knockouts) of Queens, N.Y. showed off brilliant boxing and footwork to offset the aggression of the Newark native Anderson (24-4-1, 18 KOs) to win by scores of 100-90, 99-91 and 99-91.

"It was a crazy night of upsets, knockouts and young fighters daring to be great. That’s what boxing is all about. I’m excited for the future of 'Brick City Fight Night Series' at Prudential Center,” said Thomas “Cornflake LaManna, whose Rising Star Promotions company promoted the event along with Prudential Center in association with Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing.

“I’m just thankful for everyone doing their part, from the venue staff to the Rising Star Promotions team and the fighters. Can’t wait to come back in the beginning of 2025.”

In the co-featured bout, Khalid “Pure Gold” Twaiti scored by far the biggest victory of his career, knocking down Emmanuel “Salserito” Rodriguez once en route to a unanimous decision victory in their ten round bantamweight fight. Twaiti (14-0, 5 KOs) of Brooklyn, N.Y. earned the victory by scores of 99-91, 99-91 and 98-91, while Rodriguez (15-3, 8 KOs) saw his winning streak snapped at two.

In one of the most explosive outcomes of the night, “Dangerous” Danny Gonzalez (4-0, 4 KOs) of Iselin, N.J. dropped Gabriel Gerena (6-1, 5 KOs) of Piscataway, N.J. with an explosive left hook to score a first round technical knockout at the 2:07 mark.

Popular heavyweight Kristian Prenga (16-1, 16 KOs) kept his 100% knockout streak alive, stopping the more experienced Joey Dawejko (28-13-4, 16 KOs) at the :41 mark of round five of their eight round bout. The fight was stopped after Dawejko complained of an injury to his left bicep after throwing a punch, forcing the ringside doctor to halt the bout.

Anthony “Big Back” Johns (9-1, 6 KOs) put on a thrilling performance for his hometown fans, defeating well-traveled journeyman Edwin Reyes (8-9-3, 5 KOs) by a six round majority decision. One judge scored the fight even at 57-57, while the other two had it 60-54 and 59-55 for Johns.

Popular junior middleweight prospect Jean Pierre Valencia (2-0, 2 KOs) of Irvington, N.J. scored the first knockout of the night, dropping Cody Jenkins (0-4) for the ten count with a left hook to the body at the 1:49 mark of the first round to remain undefeated in his pro career.
