Over at the scene... "Parra insists that his work with Mercito was very lively. No, they traded, Parra continued. Shane actually rushed him a little bit. He wanted to test him. You could see the veteran moves but I think Mercito surprised him a little bit. He was impressed and afterwards we kind of laughed about it. Shane said Man, he reminds me of Manny and I could have used him in my last camp. But it was all good and it was a lot of respect. It was fun to see. I asked Parra if he felt like Mosley would end up making a ring return sometime in the future. According to him, when I asked him, he said he was. He said hes going to fight again, that hes going to fight at 154."
See Gesta can give people trouble. Haters were just fooled by a sparring session with that kid Benavidez. I like Gesta.
Gesta and Benavidez are both Top Rank boxers and both will share headline billing of a Top Rank fight card on September 17 in Phoenix, Arizona. Gesta will be fighting in the main event and Benavidez the main supporting undercard fight.
