Giulio Rinaldi vows to pressure Archie Moore in their light heavyweight title bout at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. Rinaldi, who beat Moore in a non title bout in Rome last Oct. 20, studied past Moore losses to Marciano and Patterson and believes he can stop Moore within seven or eight rounds if Moore tires. Moore, training at Monticello, says he feels better than in a long time and invites Rinaldi to press him to see if age catches up.
