Expect to see another great performance put on by Joe Mesi in this bout. Although I expect Barrett to have more heart than any of Mesi's previous opponents, I feel that this should be another relatively easy fight for Mesi. I expect it to go mid rounds and possibly to a decision.
Mesi should be pumped up once again for this bout, as he has yet to leave the state of New York for so-called step ups in competition.
I like Mesi as a fighter, but I do not like the way he and his promoters are going about selecting opponents at this stage of his career. They state to the media that they are taking legitimate steps up in class when they are actually very very subtle steps. And when I say subtle, I mean hardly noticeable. He went from Robert Davis, to Davarryl Williamson, to his upcoming bout with Monte Barrett. Based on everything that was touted about Williamson before the bout, we would all be led to believe that Williamson is a much better fighter than Barrett.
I would just like to see Mesi fight a top ten opponent in his next bout. That would satisfy me a great deal.
