Does anyone else realize that He can fight anywhere else in the world for big money?? Do I need to remind people that the top fighters in the HW division are Soviet mostly all of which fight out of Germany?? ****ing dumb Americans not able to look outside their very small box:-(
Holifield would kill Mesi. Mesi is done. No chance against anybody in the top 20-30. Can still make money fighting bums. Probably break Marciano's record. Plenty of suckers still out there that will pay to watch. Lots of Waaps in Buffalo.
Totally agree. Theres nothing we can do about the likes of Yo Sam Choi but Mesi has already suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Lets say he suffers another & dies, it would give the anti boxing brigade all the ammunition they need nevermind the heart ache it would cause his family.
I don't know if people get the right picture but Joe Mesi suffered two subdural hematomas and has a chance of suffering a fatal brain damage if he takes that big punch heavyweights are likely to produce. He is allowed to fight on Rhode Island, Arkansas, West Virginia, Quebec and Puerto Rico and denied a license in California, New York, Nevada and New Jersey. Promoter Jimmy Burchfield from Rhode Island and the so-called physicians he bought are those kind of creepy things that feed on human blood and should all be investigated to full extent.
Yes didnt he suffer a second one whilst moving a piece of furniture for a friend? I found that more concerning than the one he suffered in the ring because it suggests there is still a vulnerability there.
he's one of the best heavies around. The brain bleeding is a concern though. He's unbeaten and with some good wins.
I think we have to consider the pre Jirov fight Mesi a different prospect to the one we have today. It's a major concern, I just watched video footage of the Yo-Sam Choi aftermath. We really don't need that happening again, especially to a fighter who has had severe warnings.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission said it believes he sustained at least one subdural hematoma (cerebral hemorrhage, the major cause of ring deaths and the policy is to issue lifetime ban) - and that is different from an epidural hematoma (an accumulation of blood under the skin), causing a grotesque, baseball-sized welt over Rahman's left eye against Holyfield. Five MRI reports obtained by The Buffalo News state Mesi suffered at least three subdural hematomas and Nevada boxing officials have accused Mesi of making false statements about his health.
If that is true then it's extremely concerning. How can his father still be encouraging him to fight? I care more about his whereabouts than having to read pointless one liners from idiots who have nothing more insightful to say.
