- The fight was supposed to be over near the end of the second round. However, miscommunication between referee Eddie Cotton and the ringside doctor resulted in a delay and an eventual restart, allowing George Tahdooahnippah a strange 'second chance' back into the fight.
- Rodriguez, with clear height and reach advantage, landed frequent and accurate power shots from both hands and broke the much shorter Tahdooahnippah down. Rodriguez, a Danbury Connecticut father of two, wore SHES on his boxing trunks in dedicating his performance to the victims of nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School of Newtown, Connecticut, site of a national shooting tragedy involving children.[[1]]
