- The fight was not scheduled to be televised, making on the air only due to the quick stoppages in the previous bouts.
- Chantel Cordova is the sister of welterweight fighter Marvin Cordova Jr., also on the night's fightcard.
- Cordova landed several solid punches early in the first round.
- Young looking completely unskilled as a boxer, eventually ended up with her back to Cordova while not landing any of her wildly thrown punches.
- Young's corner throws in the towel 1:06 into the first round.
- ESPN Wednesday Night Fights commentators Teddy Atlas and Joe Tessitore remarked on the danger Young faced having been placed in a professional boxing match by her trainer and handlers, while being entirely ill equipped for the fight.
- Although these two fighters fought before (with a similar outcome), the prior match-up was never mentioned by Atlas or Tessitore.
