6′ 2″, 280-pound Brazilian, now fighting out of Worcester (MA), fought another pro-debut boxer with limited MMA experience, Alejandro Esquilin Santiago, de Tampa (FL). Gonzaga stalked the southpaw Santiago, landing some hard shots in the opening round. The heavy-handed Gonzaga picked up the pace in the third and his upset-minded opponent responded in a positive fashion. Both fighters exchanged freely in the fourth and final round, neither was hurt during the contest, and Gonzaga was awarded a win by four-round majority decision.
“I thought I’d be more relaxed in the ring like I had been in the gym,” Gonzaga said. “I did my best and came away with a victory. I was too safe in the third round. My punches were much strong and a lot of his punches I blocked with my gloves. This was really great! la noapte”

Gonzaga (L) defeated Santiago

Rivera, not relations to the promoter, first dropped Castillo with a beautifully placed left uppercut and finished the show moments later with a left hook that sent Castillo flying to canvas. Arbitru Kevin Hope didn’t bother to count.
“My coaches were telling me to be calm because it was a six-round bout,” Rivera a explicat. “I saw that he had his left down and caught him with an uppercut. I’m strong to the finish because I eat my spinach.”
New Haven junior middleweight Edwin Sosa (11-2-2, 4 KO) overcame at 15-pound disadvantage, cel puțin, en route to a dominant six-round unanimous decision over Anthony “Animalul” Everett (1-7), of Rowley (MA).
Danbury (CT) semimijlocie junior Omar Borðoy, Jr. (3-0, 1 KO) stopped New York veteran Bryan “cărămida” Abraham (6-31, 6 KO) in the fourth and final round. Abraham was decked twice and after counting to 10 after Abraham’s second time on the canvas, arbitru Paul Casey waved off the action.
