	Boston (AP) Walter Byars-boxer turned tiger- is a fast-rising welterweight with an eye on a match with Tony DeMarco. Byars defended his New England crown by knocking down Bobby Murphy five times for a technical knockout at 2:23 of the fifth round last night at the arena. Wily Walter, the local kid who has only 15 professional fights under his belt with 13 victories included, had given fellow-townsman Murphy a sound boxing lesson minus knockdowns to take the championship five weeks earlier. In the first fight, Byars simply outboxed Murphy who has a murderous right if he can land it but little defense. In fact, Byars won nine of the ten rounds in that first encounter with boxing’s 1955 rookie of the year. Last night Byars had thunder bolts for fists. His left, which had kept Boston’s Bobby off balance their first meeting, knocked Murphy off his feet this time. Two slahing lefts in succession downed Murphy for a seven count in the second round. A left-right combination decked him for five in the fourth. In the fifth a left following three rights dumped Murphy for eight, a left to the head upeneded him for six and another rocking left ended it. For Byars it was an impressive victory. He’s coming but a near future meeting with a man packing the one-punch destruction of ex-World Champion DeMarco appeared premature. Promoter Sam Silverman, however, said, “the winner gets Tony.” The defeat virtually ended Murphy’s days as a main eventer. He refuses to quit the ring according to his dressing room statement which can only mean “back to the preliminaries.” It was only the second loss in 18 bouts for Murphy who weighed 142 ½ to Byars 139 ½.
