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.

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.

Anderson (24-3-1, 18 knockouts) is riding a seven fight win streak, including six straight knockouts, underscoring the Newark native’s punching power and exciting style. Anderson was last in the ring in December, knocking out Eudy Bernardo in five rounds at Prudential Center.

“People will always doubt you but they have to remember that your opponent still has to get punched in the face,” said Anderson.

Gonzalez (21-4-1, 7 KOs) of the Woodhaven section of Queens will be the most experienced opponent that Anderson has faced in his 18-year career, having previously went the ten round distance with former WBO junior welterweight titleholder Chris Algieri in a close but losing decision.

In the co-featured bout, two bantamweights will fight for the opportunity to become a top contender in the 118-pound division.

“This fight is a great opportunity to test my skills. I am fighting a tough guy but I know I can beat anyone because my will and grit is unmatched. My resume and my experience with top tier opposition will be the difference when he faces my caliber of fighter. I’m too strong and I am ready for war. I know I will leave with the big win on October 12,” said Gonzalez, who is promoted by Star Boxing.

“This is a true crossroads fight between two veterans in the game.

“This should be an exciting fight and a fan-friendly night at a terrific venue. Danny Gonzalez has always shown the heart of a lion and has given us so many memorable fights. We look forward to another tenacious performance by Danny against Michael Anderson in a true crossroads fight for these two worthy veterans,” said Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing.

In the co-featured bout, hometown favorite Emmanuel “Salserito” Rodriguez (15-2, 8 KOs) of Newark, N.J. will face Brooklyn’s Khalid Twaiti (13-0, 5 KOs) in a ten round bout, with the USBA Regional and WBA Fedalatin titles up for grabs.
