"Nigerian Dick Tiger ruined Spider Webb's comeback by stopping the ring rusty Chicago middleweight in 2:41 of the 6th round of a televised 10 rounder at St. Nick's arena. The 32 year old Nigerian dropped his 29 year old rival three times, once in the 2nd and twice in the 6th. It was obvious the Spider, making his first fight in 14 months, was through. Referee Arthur Mercante halted the one-sided fight when Webb was floored for the second time by a wicked left hook to the jaw." -Associated Press
