Joe Mesi Licensed In Michigan
By Michael Woods August 22nd, 2006Buffalo’s Baby Joe Mesi shuffles off to Grand Rapids
The re-licensing flurry continues for Joe “Frequent Flyer Miles” Mesi, as it looks like the Buffalo-area heavyweight will glove up in Michigan on a Sept.15 card.
Mesi (32-0, 26 knockouts) will take on opponent TBA in a four-round bout at the Little River Casino, near Grand Rapids, the Niagara Gazette says.
It’s Mesi’s fourth fight this year since that his two-year suspension from boxing was lifted; he scored a win over Ron Bellamy in Puerto Rico, Stephane Tessier in Montreal and Dennis “Mad Dogâ€? Matthews in Arkansas.

….maybe he and Riddick Bowe will match up somewhere along the line.

Little River Casino? Is that named after the Little River Band? Didn’t they sing “Take It Easy on Me”? Way to go, Joe!

Gotta be careful of the dreaded TBA

especially with the fight in three weeks … don’t want to tilt the odds away from Joe too much by giving the opponent time to put down the Cheese Doodles

maybe he can get the Jeremy “The Beast” Bates to fight.
