	"Light heavyweight contender Doug Jones climbed off the canvas in the ~~1st~~ round ~~Saturday night~~ and scored the year's major boxing upset by knocking out heavyweight contender Zora Folley in the ~~7th~~ round of their nationally televised return fight. In the 1st round Folley floored Jones with a right to the chin. But he jumped right up when he fell to the canvas. Referee Arthur Mercante made him take the mandatory eight count on his feet. And then the bell may have saved him because Folley was blasting him almost without return against the ropes when the bell rang. Jones dropped Folley for the full count with a left-right combination to the chin in the 7th round. Folley tried to rise as Mercante reached the count of eight, but stumbled and fell forward on the canvas as the count reached 10. He was counted out at 1:58 of the 7th round." -United Press International		Light-heavyweight contender Doug Jones of New York climbed off the canvas in the first round December 22nd and scored the year's major boxing upset by knocking out heavyweight contender Zora Folley in the seventh round of their nationally televised return fight.

	~~Scorecards (through six completed rounds)~~		Jones, weighing the heaviest of his career at 185 pounds but still much lighter than Folley's 195 3/4, avenged in [[Madison Square Garden]] the decision defeat he had suffered at Folley's hands in Denver, Colo., last Aug. 1.

	*Referee Arthur Mercante - 5-1 Folley		Jones, 25, dropped Folley for the full count with a left-right combination to the chin in the seventh round. Folley, the 12-5 favorite, dropped to his hinds and then completely to the canvas, where he supported himself on his left elbow and hip. He tried to rise as referee Arthur Mercante reached
	*Judge Joe Armstrong - 4-2 Folley		the count of eight, but Folley stumbled and fell forward on the canvas as the count reached 10.
	*Judge Al Berl - ~~3-3 Even~~
	*Unofficial UPI scorecard - 3-3 Even

	~~Post fight comment~~		He was counted out at 1:56 of the seventh round, and suffered the fifth kayo and sixth defeat in his career of 70 fights. The defeat broke Folley's victory string at nine bouts.

	* "From now on Doug fights only as a heavyweight. After a month's rest, he will tackle any of ~~them -~~ Liston, Ingemar Johansson or Floyd Patterson. He proved tonight he's ready for any of ~~them - and~~ that he's a lot stronger as a heavy than as a light heavy." -Alex Koskowitz, Jones' manager		Folley's prowess had made him the third ranking contender on the [[Ring Magazine]]'s rating sheet. Coincidentally, Jones — who had lost a decision in his attempt to wrest the light-heavyweight crown from Harold Johnson on May 12 — is still ranked third among the 175-pound contenders.

			Jones, a 25-year-old who never has been stopped, scored his 21st victory in 25 bouts and his 13th knockout.

			'''Scorecards''' (through six completed rounds)
			*Referee Arthur Mercante: 5-1 Folley
			*Judge Joe Armstrong: 4-2 Folley
			*Judge Al Berl: 3-3 Even
			*Unofficial UPI scorecard: 3-3 Even
