Morrison, Mesi, Tua Win
Friday February 23, 2007
It was a good night for former heavyweight contenders on the comeback trail. In Chester, West Virginia, Tommy Morrison and Joe Mesi destroyed overmatched opponents. Mesi remained undefeated - and finally looked something like he did pre-brain injury - by dropping George Linberger twice in the first round for a first-round TKO. This marked Mesi's first knock out win since 2004.
Tommy Morrison lost the first round of his first fight in over a decade but came back to drop John Castle with a huge left hook in the second. Castle beat the ten count but was in no shape to continue and the fight was waved off at 1:49 of the second round. Morrison hopes to stay busy and would like to fight again in March.
In New York, David Tua earned his fifth straight win (spread over four years) but was unable to hurt Robert Hawkins over ten competitive rounds. Scores were 99-91 and 96-94 twice. Tua needs to fight more frequently - and look impressive - if he's going to get himself back in the heavyweight picture.

Well done Tommy. You have knocked out the ‘AID$’ myth and John Castle all in a week.
Your courage to refuse ‘AIDS’ meds., and expose the lie called ‘AIDS’ is a credit to you.
Victory to you and victory for truth.
AIDS myth? What are you Paul King, crazy? Obviously Tommy never had HIV, just like he has always maintained. There are .0004-.0007 percent false positives when it comes to HIV testing. Tommy must have been one of the very, very few lucky ones. You are not the first person I have seen talk about the so-called HIV/AIDS myth or whatever – what do you, in your apparently infinite wisdom, thing people are dying from instead?
Hang in there Tommy. I am cheering for you!!
Welcome back Tommy.I will be watching you onyour comeback!!!
Glad to see you back Morrison. We need a good Heavyweight to bring the title back in the hands of the USA.I think that your left hand can do it. Hang in there.
Welcome back…you have the heart and the skills (not to mention the left hook) to win any or all of the heavy weight titles out there. We have all missed you. Stay strong and bring the heavy weight title, (titles) back to the USA!
