- Prior to the bout, a memorial 10-count was held for Hall-of-Famer Emile Griffith, who died four days prior.
- Berto, who was hurt and on the defensive in the fourth, seemed to be bothered by his right shoulder from the fifth round on. It was checked out by the ringside physician following the round.
- Karass went down in Round 11 from an uppercut that landed to the beltline. He was up quickly and his corner complained that the punch was low.
