In die 8-ronde hoofren, Tyrone Brunson (23-6-2, 22 KO se) neem op Brandon Quarles (18-3-1, 9 Ek se) in 'n middelgewig bout.
Gonzales, 27 years old originally from Philadelphia, but now calls San Antonio home, and is coming off a stunning 1st round stoppage defeat to Samuel Teah on November 11th.
“
Training is going well in Texas.
I come down here as I have a job selling solar panels.
The sparring is great.
There are a lot of tough Mexican fighters down here.
They come hard and are always in shape,”
Said Gonzales.
Gonzales now 8-1-2 met twee uitklophoue, has gone back to the drawing board, and is working hard on his craft.
“I have been working on getting better on defense, boks, just my balance and skills.”
In Rodriguez, he is facing a competitor that has a record of 6-6-1 met vyf uitklophoue, and has a knockout victory over previously undefeated Philly area fighter Nathaniel Rivas.
“I don’t know much other then he is tough, and comes to fight. He isn’t the most skilled fighter, but I hear he hits hard. But you can never underestimate any fighter.”
Gonzales views the Teah fight as just a slight setback and a learning experience, and he doesn’t feel that he was knocked too far off track of realizing his goals.
“I just want to get back in the win column. Then maybe two more wins and fight an undefeated fighter, so I can move up the rankings. I am a confident fighter. I just got caught with a punch behind the head against Teah, and that’s boxing.”
“I just want people to know that I am back, and ready for a big win Saterdag. I just want to keep getting better and become a world champion.”
