Suspension Upheld, but Boxer Is Fighting It

Date: June 21, 2005
Author: Ira Berkow
QUOTE: Nobody was quite sure which punch caused Joe Mesi's brain to bleed...Three days after the fight, a magnetic resonance imaging scan showed two subdural hematomas...Mesi said that within a few weeks, the hematomas had healed. Several physicians agreed. But when Mesi applied for a license to fight again several weeks later, the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended his license, citing the hematomas.
