"We've been asking for (Brandon) Rios for a title, but they don't want that fight. I don't know, but right now we have other options; maybe (Miguel) Vazquez. But right now we're telling them that we're ready for a title fight," -- Mercito Gesta
"Honestly for me, Gamboa is more dangerous than Rios," Gesta opined and added, "I think that's a good fight, but Rios will have a hard time with Gamboa. I know Gamboa is smaller, but I think he can hang, because he's fast, he got that speed, so I think it'll be a good one."

IMO Gesta should fight more contenders before considering the likes of Rios, Gamboa and Vazquez. At this point, Ricky Burns or the vacant WBA championship against interim Richard Abril seem more winnable for Gesta than those fights.
I honestly don't think Gesta is that good. He started at superflyweight and might be better off moving down to 130.
Vanes is ranked like number 3 by the ring though.... Gesta isn't... so Vanes is wayyyyyy worse
Gesta's way worst bro anyway who could Gesta fight for a step up to get a Rios fight?
