listening when Pryor predicted before Saturday’s fight that he would dispose of him easily “Like I said he can get knocked out or hurt” the unbeaten Pryor said after stopping Blackmoore in the second round “He got both” Pryor 140 from Cincinnati knocked Blackmore down twice in the first round and once in the second before referee Mills Lane stopped the bout just 58 seconds into round 2 contender from The Nol-ranke- d Guyana provided little opposition for Pryor who battered Blackmoore at will as he lay almost helpless against the ropes “I had to go after him” Pryor said “I knew he could fight Even after the fight he wanted to keep going I don’t ever expect a knockout Whatever comes I accept it I felt he could take a punch and still fight” 28-- 0 Pryor who ran his recordkncok-out scored his

rounds at Hidden Valley Country Club the site of this year’s tournament from July 15 to 19 In the past the UGA required that a player be a or better and accepted the first 120 paid entries into the tournament This year the handicap restriction was lifted so anyone with a UGA handicap card could play No limit on the number of entries was set either which prompted applications from some 221
