"Luis Rodriguez, coming in at 159 3/4, took a unanimous 10-round decision from the Texas strongman, Willie Warren, 158 1/2, a durable and powerful hitter out of the Doug Lord stable from Dallas, Texas. Warren connected with his most effective punches at close range in the early rounds with body whacks. Luis was too elusive to get tagged on the chin and constantly held his opponent off with left jabs. A near capacity crowd of 3,141 at the Miami Beach Auditorium watched their perennial favorite, perhaps without optimal equipment but still too much for the budding but powerful Warren." -Ring Magazine, August 1970 issue
- It was noted that this was Rodriguez' 23rd straight win without a loss at the Miami Beach Auditorium dating back to 1959.
