Post-fight comments

• "The referee warned Rodriguez twice for hitting low and after the first time should have taken points away - but he didn't. We'd like to meet Rodriguez again, but not with this kind of officiating." -Harvey Livingston, Gonzalves' manager

• "I'd say he hit me low four or five times." -Johnny Gonzalves
