• A battle of scoring jabs in this bout, won by Martirosyan with frequent combinations from the beginning, as Greene was throwing only single punch jabs.
• Martirosyan's left eye began to swell in the fifth round, possibly from an accidental head butt, possibly from several left hands that scored by Greene.
