"Spider Webb, who took his revenge bout from Charley Joseph, says he's ready for all comers in the middleweight bracket. Webb, No. 6 ranked middleweight, was fortunate to gain a split decision last night from Joseph in a Chicago Stadium battle. He scored heavily in a hot 7th round to even matters with Joseph, who whipped him in New Orleans two months ago. After the fight, Webb had nothing but praise for Joseph, the No. 8 ranked middleweight from New Orleans." -Associated Press

Post-fight comment

• "That was one of my hardest fights. Joseph is one of the smartest fighters I ever met. After that tough fight, I feel that I'm ready for anyone in the middleweight class, and that includes Gene Fullmer and Joey Giambra." -Spider Webb
