didnt see it , but im guessing if he wins a few more fights someone will give him a shot (in the contract i would think there will be a "sorry if i killed you" clause).Quote:

Agreed, he's so far out of it...much farther than just the two years imo....Quote:

Let's put this in perspective...at his best Joe Mesi was beat up pretty good by a crusierweught in Jirov because Jirov could box and it nullified a lot of what Joe did best...what made Joe special was his ability to move, quick hands and surprising power...I did not see anything even close to that last night...He is fighting more like a shot fighter than just ring rust, his basic reflexes just were not there...Tessier is a warm body and the fight was comepetitive, not a good sign.
I agree with the poster that said Joe should become an announcer ...right now boxing needs good and knowledgeable announcers and commentators...just watching one HBO or SHO fight is testament to that...
I agree with your assessment and about the Jirov fight in particular.
Mesi was fighting what I like to call a morgue or slab fighter...lifeless & damned near corpse status.
That guy had more losses than wins & he still connected on Mesi.
Seriously kids...he's done.
He get's in the ring with a top ranker...he's outta here.
Yep.
I hate to hear that...I liked the guy, he was a good kid, he held himself with some class and he had a bright future...or a brighter one than he has now. Joe couldn't KO Ron Bellamy he should retire...he's not a "boxer" he's a puncher and if he can't punch he's done.Quote:

They must have slammed his hand in the ambulance door on the way to ER

He wasn't...but that was still horrible.Quote:

what do you mean, he wasn't even allowed to train when they took away his license?? The commission sen't people to spy on his house and make sure he wasn't doing squats, or going jogging, hitting the bags?? come on... He isn't going to get back into any sort of form, and if he does manage to improve it's even worse because it just means if he fights a real fighter it may actually go some rounds and he could die, instead of just being stopped mercifully in a round.
Tessier's hard head may have saved Baby Joe's life for a while.
I would love to see him in the booth or something...but the guy can't box anymore. He's slow as all hell, he doesn't have a punch, he doesn't have his speed, I mean he was getting caught backing up by Stephane Tessier. Stephane Tessier! Please Joe, hang it up. According to Joe he has mone yset up for himself after boxing and I know he has that fighter spirit but...please just stop now.
that's sad to hear.....I was hoping for a great comeback.....:(Quote:
