Mesi scores a KO in his 1st fight back....

Why is it that so many people on this forum are wishing Morrison luck? "best of luck to him" "I wish him all the best" "I hope he does well" This for a guy that is a confessed steroid user, a confessed coke addict, a confessed wife beater, Etc, Etc. But when it comes time to talk Mesi, the longest current undefeated HW, "he is a bum."? I don;t get it. The guy is articulate, intelligent and very exciting. No he is not the greatest of all time or even this time, but against some of these HW out there he has some power and a good amature background and he is young, by HW standards. He will get his license back in NY and be fighing on HBO before the end of the year. I am a Mesi fan but I don't nut hug like the MILLIONS of others on these forums who think that their guy is unstopable. Give the man a shot.

he also knocked TOS out silly. something that guys such as wladimir klitschko, chris byrd, mike mollo, etc. could not do. I'm not positive but i think that was TOS's worst loss. hopefully byrd will soon step it up like has been said and fight guys like owen beck, or other fringe contenders (maybe a 25-50 guy) and i mean actually that high, so tomas bonin who is ranked 12 by the wbc is actually a 25-50 guy.

The strange thing about the notion of Joe Mesi getting back to form that everyone seems to have is that he was never going to be good anyway. He has fought two live opponents, Monte Barret (a C level fighter) and Vassily Jirov (a bloated cruiserweight) and has proven to be their equals. He effectively got two wins that just as easily could have went to the other guy or have been a draw against them. This indicates that he was just never very good and was waiting to be exposed. Why would two years off and bleeding on the brain make that anything but even more inevitable? I don't even think he's worth the time to cover on a Versus undercard to be honest, and I live near Buffalo.

Last night’s TKO win over journey-man George Lindenberger was a good, and much needed, performance last night by comebacking hw Joe Mesi. Mesi looked determined, relaxed, and very sharp in his victory, albeit against a really awful looking journey-man in Lindenberger. Mesi also looked to be in better shape than recent outings; coming in at 229 lbs. Overall it was a good win because of the television exposure and Mesi's fan friendly style of fighting. Hopefully, team Mesi will step up the level of competition in his next fight and is able to get re-licensed back in New York state. Glad to see that Mesi is back and I think he brings some much needed excitement to the hw division.

Mesi looked like he was in a lot better shape. I give him about 5 more fights and he should be taking on the top 5 or so. Good luck Joe.

Well, at least he finally had a decent win against one of these bums hes been fighting, he looked like shit in his second fight back which was shown on fnf against a guy who was 3-7.

Does he still have vaginal fluid on the brain, or whatever it was? ...lol lol Shanus, only a select few people on here will know what the hell your talking about.

Thats ur TV, cause i got nothing like that That's it, I'm going to beat up Ted Rogers tomorrow!

I like mesi and hope to see him do well but I still cant see him beating the big punchers of the division. doesnt seem to have the chin or defense to cope with that. he is fun to watch tho. either way its likely to be a knockout with him yea thats the only thing. I think he'll definetly make top 10 again, but never #1 becuase there are guys like VALUEV and KLITSCHKO and PETER, who are HUGE. Mesi even before this whole mess, probably wouldnt have much a chance of beating this guys.

Does he still have vaginal fluid on the brain, or whatever it was? where do these board perverts come from? :bottle:

The feed on this broadcast is terrible though. Keeps jumping about. Thats ur TV, cause i got nothing like that

Hes definetly right that hes the most entertaining heavyweight. And i hate how all these NEGATIVE guys are gonna come in here and say how Mesi is never gonna be what he once was. No, thats not true at all. He had 2 years off, BUT HE's STILL YOUNG!!!! He could still be what he used to be, if not much better. He said we never seen him at his best, and he convinced me with that fight. Even though it was a nothing guy, he still impressed. He got the guy out of there with pretty much ONE punch. I loved it. In a year or a year and a half, he'll be fighting top 15 guys and makin his way back into the top 10 where he belongs I like mesi and hope to see him do well but I still cant see him beating the big punchers of the division. doesnt seem to have the chin or defense to cope with that. he is fun to watch tho. either way its likely to be a knockout with him

nice body/head combos, pretty accurate punching too

He needs to fight a top 20 guy. Maybe a guy like Owen Beck or something.

I don't know how he'd cope with a live one in there, but he's definitely motivated. Good knockout against a pretty poor fighter, I'd like to see him fighting someone better though. Not Tommy Morrison. Definitely not Tommy Morrison.
