- "He could handle the other guys by just slapping them around and boxing them. But he was insulted by so many people saying he was a fancy Dan and could not punch, and he was determined to knock Hubbard out." -Angelo Dundee, Rodriguez' manager
"Luis Rodriguez wants to fight Don Jordan for the welterweight title in his next ring appearance. Rodriguez proved he is ready to the satisfaction of 3,105 ringside spectators and a nationwide TV audience last night when he knocked out previously unbeaten Carl Hubbard of Philadelphia. The end came in 1:53 of the 4th round in a scheduled 10 rounder. Rodriguez floored Hubbard for the mandatory eight count in the 3rd. Quick left hooks rocked Hubbard in the 4th round and a sharp left to the jaw put him down for the count to finish a roaring battle." -Associated Press
