biggest irony on the boards that i've ever read... mexicans complaining about non mexican fighters getting gifts. SMH!!
Mercito is number 3 p4p and coincidentally my third favorite fighter. The only gift hes received is being from the same country as the GOAT. Mercito is so smooth and calculating that you think he losing rounds but hes really setting them up for the Cebu Doodoo punch.
kid got some pop, definitely has alotta swag but he backs it up....good prospect. And what fight were u watching, Gesta won that fight decisively.
This is the fight ... [url]http://youtubeboxingvideos.blogspot.com/2011/09/mercito-gesta-vs-manuel-perez-fight.html[/url]
Lol so this guy is like a slick pinoy southpaw or something? Btw that wasn't a gift decision, just look at his opponent's battered face after 10/
Gesta outslicked the other guy. Very rarely did Perez hit Gesta with flush shots. Gesta had fewer punches and less aggressive but probably landed a higher %. He was landing that left uppercut-right hook in bunches.... speaking of which he throws some weird big uppercuts from the outside..
Its sad that after 24 fights this guy with a 16-7 record is a HUGE step up and his only claim to fame is having a draw with a relatively green Rios who later stopped him in 7 rounds. Gesta is a bum and him and his fans think he's some beast and is being ducked and deserves a title shot without even fighting a top 20 or 30 Lightweight.:verysad
