Heavyweight prospect Kristian Prenga is the kind of puncher who only needs to be right once. Unfortunately for Christopher Arnold, it didn’t take very long for him to get it right.

The Albanian big man ended matters with a single right hand, dropping his smaller opponent and bringing the bout to a sudden halt at the 2:27 mark of their eight-rounded scheduled bout at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

The fight was highlighted the undercard of the inaugural Brick City Friday Night Fights card, a new series promoted by GH3 Promotions which is targeted 3-4 cards per year at the home of the NHL’s New Jersey Devils. Attendance for the card was announced as 4,651, with half of the venue curtained off.

Prenga, 32, of Edgewater, N.J. by way of Orosh, Albania has now won 11 straight since his lone defeat, a points loss to Giovanni Auriemma in the Netherlands.
Prenga disputes the loss to the fighter whom he had previously stopped, saying that Auriemma had enticed him to a rematch in his home country, fought to survive and was handed a points win by the referee, who was the only judge of the fight.

Prenga, who is trained by Muhammad Abdul Salaam, brings a large contingent of Albanian fans to each of his fights.
