millbank Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A hearing to determine whether suspended heavyweight Joe Mesi is healthy enough to resume boxing has been tentatively set for April 18. Keith Kizer, Nevada's chief deputy attorney general, said Thursday the date was set after the Nevada State Athletic Commission received all of the requested medical records dealing with Mesi's head injury within the last week. All that's left is word from the Mesi camp whether that date works for them to attend the hearing in Las Vegas. Mesi (29-0) was the WBC's top-ranked contender before falling out of the rankings entirely in October. The suburban Buffalo native has been suspended indefinitely, pending a review of his medical records, since winning a unanimous decision over Vassiliy Jirov in Las Vegas in March 2004. Mesi hung on for the win, despite being knocked down three times in the final two rounds. He sustained a subdural hematoma -- bleeding on the brain. Any sign of bleeding could lead the Nevada commission to issue a permanent fighting ban, which would be enforced throughout the country. - really hate to hear this , wish Joe would move on with his life. .......

Joe Mesi 288507[/snapback] A very mediocre fighter to start with...he needs to quit before he becomes a drooler sitting at the end of some bar south Buffalo.
