    Great Fight.:goodJirov beat that ass.

    edit. I did check meaning of "club fighter" and I dont think that fits for him he was better. a credible contender thou even he was kinda exposed from his hype afte stepping it up?

    I caught this on ESPN Classic a while back. Damn good fight. It was a late night, don't think I kept score, but I was entertained.

    I always liked Jirov. Dude came to rumble.

    Mesi is lucky it was only a 10 round fight. If it was a 12 round fight, Mesi would've left the ring in a body bag.

    No he wasn't. On my card Mesi won by 1 point (I don't have it but I remember I had Mesi winning).

    :deal

    Mesi and Toney were both capable of having boring fights.

    Neither was boring against Jirov.

    Dude's entertainment value was/is underrated.

    Vassily was one of my favorite cruiserweights and a great bodypuncher. Had he been alittle faster and more defensive minded who knows how far Jirov might of gotten.
