    Another southpaw, undefeated, liteweight boxer from the Philippines. The talent is there. He could be a star one day. He just gets better and better. Check out his last 2 fights.

    It's cruel and unrealistic to hype someone as the possible next Manny Pacquiao. Just let Gesta be the first great Gesta.

    ^^This is more realistic, Than being the "Next" Manny.
    (Tho Donaire prob already owns this moniker)

    He should be getting more hype. He is a hell of an exciting fighter. Like Manny, he comes to fight.

    Probably not the next Manny, but perhaps the next big thing in Pinoy boxing on the world stage. He's still got improving to do even towards that end, though.

    I think he's with goldenboy. goldenboy is crap at developing up and coming fighters. So good posibility he will fail. Gesta seems to like to stay around the ropes which will be murder if he fights a puncher. But good hand speed, has some skill.

    Heard a lot about this guy. How tall is he? He looks quite filled out already. Is lightweight likely to be his career weight?
