Mesi Wins in Manistee!
Buffalo heavy has tough scrap in "final four rounder."
Comebacking Buffalo heavyweight “Baby” Joe Mesi scored a unanimous four-round decision in the main event of a night of professional boxing at the Little River Casino Resort in Manistee, Michigan, Friday night. Mesi (33-0, 26 KOs) had a surprisingly tough time getting by Keego Harbor, MI’s Jason Weiss, who despite being a comparative novice (now 3-2, 2 KOs), lumped up Mesi’s eye and kept it interesting throughout. Mesi won by scores of 40-36 from all three judges. In other action, Detroit lightweight Vernon Paris (now 6-0, 4 KOs) demonstrated his remarkable recovery from being shot three times this past July by winning a unanimous six-round decision over Florida’s Jean Petit Homme. Despite being spit at, verbally assaulted and repeatedly fouled, undefeated Canadian Kara Ro (14-0, 7 KOs) won her women’s lightweight battle against Southfield, MI’s Kim Colbert (2-11-2, 2 KOs) via unanimous six-round decision. Adrian, MI, super welterweight Dan Wallace won his grudge match against Traverse City’s Chris Grays by majority six-round decision; Detroit cruiserweight Phillip Jewel dropped a unanimous four rounder to Buffalo’s Francisco Alvarez; Philadelphia middleweight Tyrone Brunson ran his remarkable string of first-round knockouts to 13 by stopping Battle Creek, MI’s Guy Packer in 2:24; and female lightweight Natalie Brown went the distance for the first time in her career while winning a unanimous decision over Livonia, MI’s formerly undefeated Ingrid Hays.

Mesi I wish would just quit. Paris is a great story, very happy for him.

It looks like Mesi has forgot how to knock out bums. And if Paris would of stopped associating with the people he was, he would of never been shot.

What are you talking about? Paris was shot by people who invited him to a night on the town from his own gym. He said he didn't want tension so he accepted their invite and it almost cost him his life.

Mesi will not become Champ not because I don't like him, cause I happen to think hes skilled it;s just the turn of events IMO will prevent him from becoming Champ.

It was a set up type of thing. Paris knew the type of people they were and he decided to go. Not a very smart move in my opinion.

Yeah but we've all been put in that type of situation before and most of us have gone along. I know I've accepted a ride home or 2 from people I really didn't like. He just didn't want to create any tension. In hindsight it's not smart but it's not like he was hanging with a bad crowd and got in the middle of someone's business or something. Very glad he's back.
