"Second-ranked heavyweight contender Zora Folley survived a trip to the canvas Tuesday night and went on to win a majority 10 round decision over rugged Howard King. The victory did little to enhance Folley's bid for a title bout with heavyweight champion Ingemar Johannson. After going down for a seven count in the 2nd, Folley, of Chandler, Ariz., rallied to put King down for a nine count in the 6th. He had the Reno, Nev., fighter in touble throughout most of the remainder of the bout, scoring often on combinations." -United Press International
