Welterweight Daniel “El Gallo” Gonzalez secured a unanimous decision victory over Michael “Slick” Anderson last Saturday at the Prudential Center 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, extended his winning streak to two fights by defeating 43-year-old Anderson (24-4-1, 18 KOs) from Newark.
Gonzalez faced a challenging period in his career during 2021 and 2022, suffering setbacks with a majority decision loss to Petros Ananyan and a surprising split-decision defeat to Paulo Cesar Galdino in his hometown of Queens. Following these losses, Gonzalez rebounded with a 10-round unanimous decision victory over Keane McMahon before his recent win over Anderson.
For Anderson, this defeat marks his first loss since 2019 when Greg Vendetti defeated him by unanimous decision over 12 rounds. Anderson had previously enjoyed a seven-fight winning streak following the Vendetti fight.
