Welterweight Daniel “El Gallo” Gonzalez secured a unanimous resolution victory over Michael “Slick” Anderson final Saturday on the Prudential Heart in Newark, New Jersey. Judges scored the bout 100-90, 99-91, and 99-91, all in favor of Gonzalez.
The 34-year-old Gonzalez (22-4-1, 7 KOs) from Queens, New York, prolonged his successful streak to 2 fights by defeating 43-year-old Anderson (24-4-1, 18 KOs) from Newark.
Gonzalez confronted a difficult interval in his profession throughout 2021 and 2022, struggling setbacks with a majority resolution loss to Petros Ananyan and a stunning split-decision defeat to Paulo Cesar Galdino in his hometown of Queens. Following these losses, Gonzalez rebounded with a 10-round unanimous resolution victory over Keane McMahon earlier than his latest win over Anderson.
For Anderson, this defeat marks his first loss since 2019 when Greg Vendetti defeated him by unanimous resolution over 12 rounds. Anderson had beforehand loved a seven-fight successful streak following the Vendetti struggle.
