    LOL, good luck with that Bob. Gesta and Benavidez on the same card on Sept. 17 in Lake Havasu.

    Ryan Maquiana from the Scene for Boxing broke it this morning.

    How far is Gesta from a world title do you think? I don't think he's ready for Rios until next year, and by then Bam Bam will be at 140. I do think he can pick up a vacant belt with the WBO and defend it while he develops.

    Benavidez is the next Mayweather. He's one of the most talented boxers I've ever seen. In fact he's the most talented I've seen since Jones Jr.

    I wouldn't call it counter programming. There's only so many Saturdays in the year. He has a big stable and a contract with Fox Deportes.

    I gave you clues on how to get the link above without getting banned lol. Exchange the asterisks with the site's name, which is known as the "Scene for Boxing"

    Have you seen Gomez lately? Look at his last 5 weights and tell me he's disciplined enough to be a future P4P talent. Benavidez still has holes in his D and needs to get more quality sparring after returning to Phoenix, but come on.

    He may be serious, but he's pretty off, but Benavidez is a future star for sure though. Good speed, range power, good jab and goes to the body well
