	"Rory Calhoun, an unbeaten young middleweight with 22 straight victories, is ready to crash the top 10 in the division rankings. Calhoun, a slugger from White Plains, N.Y., isn't ready for a Sugar Ray Robinson yet. He is too easy too hit as Willie ~~Vaughan~~, Los Angeles, found out Friday night. Although Calhoun, 160 1/2, stopped ~~Vaughan~~, 159, on a TKO at 2:28 of the 8th round of a 10 round match at MSG, he was in trouble in the 6th. There is no indication that Calhoun owns a Rocky Marciano-type punch but he does resemble Rocky in the way he keeps pressing an opponent, winging his overhand right." -Associated Press		"Rory Calhoun, an unbeaten young middleweight with 22 straight victories, is ready to crash the top 10 in the division rankings.
