This fight will not happen unless Broner will sign with Top Rank and allow Bob Arum to milk him then screw him. Even then the fight wont happen in a heartbeat. Gesta is protected by Bob Arum, as you can see he's being arranged to fight has beens and stepping stones.

Ya but at least Gesta gets to make a living. He's not ready for Marquez, or on Marquez's level.

Everyone keeps blaming Arum but the guy is the one covering the expenses.

Broner first test @ lightweight and Gesta's first taste of fighting a former titleholder.

Interesting fight..Interesting because it would test Mercito not only him but it would also test Parra as a trainer...

Mercito is used to fighting bigger (weight) guys than him and it looks like he doesnt have a problem in knocking them out...While Broner seem to me always fighting with weight advantage on his side something i also observe with Brandon Rios....


Mercito is a southpaw and not afraid to get hit,he has speed, combination and power. i believe that is enough to stop Broner....

But we'll see in the future...we all know HBO and Al Haymon is been feeding the kid with low class opposition..I bet they wont even put another Ponce De Leon level in there with him....

Gesta has a chance for sure, but Broner would be the favorite. 8)

Sad to say, but Gesta's chance against Broner is close to nothing. :mrgreen:

If I'm not mistaken, Mercito is also ranked in the top ten Light Welter (140 lb) by the WBO.

Same formula that will line Haymon's pockets with moolah. It's all good...it's a business.

Each time I see a post about Gesta vs. someone, Gesta is never given a chance by the majority :) Poor Gesta ...

Well, at this point in time, I think he can mix it up with any of those in his weight class. Only time will tell if he can deliver or not, no speculations from me regarding his chances of losing.

In my opinion, gesta has a chance over marquez than broner. because marquez is old already. gesta is a puncher. one punch can make the difference and change the fight like what happened to amir khan. that's why marquez was very selective to be sure that he will win the fight. not like morales, he choose caliber boxer like maidana and garcia. marquez picking c or e boxer. and the result is mismatch.
