Clay-Bey vs. Mesi

Alister · Post by **Alister** » 16 Feb 2004, 07:30

Can anyone tell me how many times Lawrence Clay-Bey and Joe Mesi fought in the amateurs? I have seen two of their fights, which I think are from the 1996 Olympic Box-offs. The first fight Mesi wins by decision, but in the second Clay-Bey knocks him cold in the 1st, thus getting his spot on the US Olympic Team. Surley this last fight must have been a rubbermatch (either their third or fifth fight)?

Also, does anyone know of any other opponents they fought in the unpaid ranks?
Thank you!

wsbuf,

Are you sure Cley-Bey beat Harry Senior?

I think it might have been Charles Shufford who
Ko'd Harry in the first round.

Thats Mesi's record above, not Clay-Bey.

1995 USA vs England Duel in London. Mesi beat Senior I believe by one round KO. I think this is on mesi's website too.

Just wondering, because I definitely remember Shufford stopping Harry in the 1st round, around about 1995 and interestingly England V USA.
