License to Be Killed
"Baby Joe" Mesi has been granted a license to box in Puerto Rico. After suffering two subdural hematomas (bleeding under the dura, or membrane covering the brain), and being suspended because of this, Mesi has now been cleared to fight once more.
According to this article on MSN/Fox, Mesi is tentatively scheduled to face an unnamed tomato can on April 1st, with plans to gradually step up his level of competition.
Mesi once showed some promise, with his last victory coming over then-regarded Vasily Jirov, which followed victories over Monte Barrett and DaVarryl Williamson (1st round KO). Mesi had won over a great many fans, though serious analysts were largely unsold on him. He filled the money-making "great white hope" niche, that a great many folks are looking to exploit. My "hope" that he decides that discretion is the better part of valor, and abandons this foolhardy enterprise.
