Stupendous 6s Round 2 Fight 14
Joe Mesi (1-0 1) vs. Phil Jackson (1-0 1) – Mesi had stopped Natie Brown on a 7th round TKO, while Jackson had got a 4th round TKO on cuts against Leroy Jones. Mesi dropped Jackson with a savage combination just seconds after stunning him with a big hook . Phil was up at a 3 count, covering up, and Joe just pounded him, sending him reeling like a drunken sailor with a straight right and a laser right! The bell sounded, saving Jackson, who absorbed a 24-0 thrashing !
Jackson bounced back in the 2nd, his cross working well, as he trade punches with Mesi. Joe landed a monster uppercut, then another hard uppercut, and led after 2 minutes. Joe’s hook was finding the range, but Jackson rallied in the last minute to almost close the gap in a pick-em round, 15-14 . He used a low blow to take some of the wind out of the sails of Mesi. On the debit side, his left eye was swelling badly by round’s end.
Round 3 was like 2 navies squaring off in an epic battle, exchanging salvos ! Joe was active early, building up a lead. Phil rocked him with a hard cross, but Mesi roared back with a hook, taking a 12-6 lead at the 2 minute mark. Phil’s eye was now a mess, and he was staggering from a solid cranium-crusher . Fighting back on the strength of some good hooks, he landed a punishing combination, which might not have been before the bell, and Joe, stunned, dropped like an anchor ! He struggled mightily, but had been torpedoed, and Phil Jackson was the winner by a KO at 3:00 of the 3rd! There will have to be a rematch here, as Mesi was staging a great, crowd-pleasing fight. Alas, at the end, it was trim the sails, poop the deck, baby Joe goes home!
