By The Associated Press
OAKLAND ---- Undefeated
young heavyweight contender
George Foreman, erasing t h e
nearest thing to a blot on his
record, wore down Gregorio
Peralta quickly and scored an
# 10th-round knockout last night
in his rematch with the 36-
year-old Argentine lighter.
The fight was the finale of a
closed-circuit heavyweight tri-
pleheader with a lair of former

Referee Elmer Costa stopped
the fight at 2:52 of the 10th

Peralta into the ropes with a
hard flurry of punches for the
second time in the round.

BALTIMORE WP) - Kentucky
Derby winner Canonero II was
rated no better than fourth yes-
terday in the probable odds for
the $150,00-added Preakness as
the field for Saturday's classic
grew to 12 likely starters.
Earl Hart, the official fore-
caster of probable odds at Pim-
lico, rated Jim French, the Ken-
tucky Derby runner-up, as the
likely Preakness favorite at 5-2.
Executioner, second in last Fri-
day's Preakness prep, was listed
at 7-2, followed by Eastern Fleet,
who was fourth in the Derby, at
5-1.
Canonero II, the surprise win-
ner of the Derby by 3% lengths,
was rated by Hart at 6-1, with
Bold Reason, the third-place
Derby finisher, at 8-1.

Foreman scored with a left jab
and a right hook.
Foreman, who weighed 216
pounds for his rematch, landed
at least a dozen hard left jabs to
the Argentina's head in the first
two rounds.
He opened a cut over Peralta's
left eye in the third.
In the other two fights of the
closed circuit TV triple-header
Ernie Terrell defeated Luis
Faustino Pires while former
WBA champ George Jimmy Ellis
woni a unanimous decision over
George Chuvalo.
Teriell, 6-6 former World
Boxing Association heavyweight
champion, used his long left jab
to stave off aggressive Pires,
Brazilian champion, for a unan-
imous 10-round decision.
Terrell, winning his fifth suc-
cessive victory in a comeback
after a three-year layoff, stun-
ned the game Pires several times
but was unable to put him away
in a wild-swing contest wit-
nessed by an estimated 600 at
the International Amphitheater.
Terrell rocked the ever-charg-
ing Pires with two solid rights
to the jaw which stunned the
Brazilian near the end of the
third round but the lanky Chi-
cagoan was unable to follow
through.
Terrell again staggered his
opponent with a left-right com-
bination late in the ninth in
which Pires started bleeding
badly from a cut inside the
mouth.
In Toronto, against Chuvalo
Ellis went to the attack quickly,
scoring with left jabs and right
hooks which opened a cut over
Chuvalo's left eye in the second
round. Referee Sanmy Luft-
spring took a look at the cut but
did not stop the fight.
Ellis continued to work on the
cut and by the fifth round Chu-
valo sported four cuts around
the eye. His speed was the de-
termining factor in his 29th vic-
tory out of 35 professional
fights.

do that," said Orr.
