	"Spider Webb, once a national collegiate boxing chanpion at Idaho State College, is the newest sensation to burst upon the middleweight scene. Webb scored a unanimous 10 round decision Wednesday night over previously unbeaten Rory Calhoun of New York. The scrap was a slam-bang affair from the opening bell, with the powerful Calhoun wading in for knockout blows and the nimble Webb using his rights and lefts like an epee. Calhoun absorbed all Webb's best shots without flinching and landed enough bombs himself to prove that Spider can be hit and can take it. It looked as if Webb was doomed in the 3rd round when Calhoun sledged him into the corner with a crushing right to the jaw. Calhoun was so certain he had nailed his opponent that he turned and walked away. But Webb bounced off the ropes and tore after Calhoun so vigorously that both fighters were flailing away seconds after the bell." -Associated Press		"Spider Webb, once a national collegiate boxing chanpion at Idaho State College, is the newest sensation to burst upon the middleweight scene.
