Mesi’s shoulder injury forces him to pull out of Smith fight
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP)"“Baby” Joe Mesi has withdrawn from his April 4 fight against Terry “Hurricane” Smith because of a torn shoulder muscle that will require him to rest for at least three weeks.
“Joe is terribly disappointed,” Jack Mesi, the fighter’s father, said Thursday. “This is just a temporary setback, that’s all. Joe will continue training to stay in good shape and keep his weight down, but he can’t do anything that involves using his shoulder.”
Mesi (36-0, 29 KOs), from Tonawanda, N.Y., was ranked in the top 10 before being diagnosed with brain bleeding following his decision over Vassiliy Jirov in Las Vegas in March 2004. Mesi did not fight for two years, but is 7-0 since returning in April 2006.
