In last Saturday's "Brick City Fight Night Series" in Newark, New Jersey, Daniel Gonzalez took a unanimous decision over Michael Anderson in the main event, as previously reported.
In the co-main event, Khalid Twaiti dropped Emmanuel Rodriguez once en route to a unanimous decision in their 10-round bantamweight contest. Twaiti, 14-0 (5 KOs), from Brooklyn, New York, won by scores of 99-91 (twice) and 98-91, while Rodriguez, 15-3 (8 KOs), saw his two-fight win streak come to an end.
One of the night's most explosive finishes came from Danny Gonzalez, 4-0 (4 KOs) of Iselin, New Jersey, who stopped Gabriel Gerena, 6-1 (5 KOs), from Piscataway, New Jersey, with a powerful left hook for a first-round stoppage.
Heavyweight Kristian Prenga, 16-1 (16 KOs) kept his perfect knockout record intact, stopping veteran Joey Dawejko, 28-13-4 (16 KOs) in the fifth round of a scheduled eight. The bout was halted when Dawejko complained of a left bicep injury after throwing a punch, leading the ringside doctor to call an end to the contest.

In the night's opening fight, junior middleweight prospect Jean Pierre Valencia, 2-0 (2 KOs), of Irvington, New Jersey, delivered a body-shot knockout, dropping Cody Jenkins, 0-4, for the count with a left hook to the liver in the first round.
