gesta (26-0-1, 14 KO's) will battle IBF lightweight champion miguel vazquez (32-3, 13 KO's) on the pacquiao-marquez IV undercard.
vasquez is the toughest test in gesta's boxing career. vasquez has won 11 straight and has never lost a world championship fight. if gesta somehow wins, he should then face broner to unfiy the titles in the lightweight division.
GBP CEO schaefer made a good proposal about the donaire-mares & rios-matthysse double deal. maybe TR and GB can do the same, maybe gesta-broner & guerrero-bradley.

Tyson wonders if Mayweather is scared of Pacquiao
Mike Tyson says he does not believe a fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will happen anymore.
Additionally, Tyson says Mayweather is avoiding the fight and questions whether Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao: “It seems Mayweather has been the one coming up with reasons to avoid the fight. He doesn’t want to fight the guy. It’s obvious. …I don't know if he’s scared of him or not, but it’s just obvious he doesn’t want to fight the guy.”
Tyson compares when he was champion to Mayweather’s actions: “When I’m champion, I want to – I just want to know if I’m the best in the world. I want to fight them all.”

Broner would beat Gesta. Lopsided UD. Maybe stops him.
I want to see Broner at 140. Like, right NOW.
Let him clean out 135 first, I would if I were in his shoes, I'd love to be undisputed in a weight class, not many guys can claim that.
After Vazquez beats Gesta, I think that is the next fight for Broner.
(Brian Viloria is not a Filipino he is a Hawaiin American and repped the US in the Olympics so he doesn't count)
Lol, Ok keep telling yourself that, if it helps you feel less butthurt about having 3 filipinos who are around the top 10 p4p in the world.
"Rey Danseco of boxingscene.com said that Viloria declared that he is a 100% Filipino and his parents Ben and Rosemarie came from Narvacan, Ilocos Sur but migrated to Hawaii for a living. He became the 35th Filipino world champion when he won the WBC world light-flyweight title dethroning Eric Ortiz of Mexico by a remarkable first round knockout.
Viloria, who was born in Waipahu, Honolulu, Hawaii, said he would have competed for the Philippines in the 2000 Sydney Olympics had the invitation from the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines (ABAP) arrived earlier ahead of the US Olympic Trials where he defeated fellow Filipino-American Donaire in the quarterfinals."

gesta i'm guessing should win against vasquez, as for broner, it's a toss up
http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l416/feverishparade/nicholas_cage_laugh.gif
thats a big IF....even though vazquez has one of the ugliest and most awkward styles i have ever seen in boxing he still has the height and reach and that ugly awkward style to give gesta tons of problems. even if gesta were to beat vazquez it would be tough to make the fight with broner considering the gbp and top rank feud...
Only way I see Gesta beating Vazquez is by a shocking Rios vs Abril type robbery.
Could be, but Miguel Vazquez will probably make Gesta quit on his stool from frustration.
Gesta has no hunger the guy fights like he is just sparring or something, no aggression at all or fire.
This muther****er just said it's a toss up between Gesta and Broner. LMAO
i thought I read that wrong. smh. Broner would toy with him and beat the snot out of him.
I wouldn't count gesta out at all.
Hes been constantly in the trenches and learning with every fight.
An active schedule like Gesta's makes a fighter strong. If he beats Vazquez convincingly, most definitely a broner fight is something I want to see.
But he has been fighting **** tier fighters.....He's going from people that probably aren't in the top 100 of his weight class and jumping straight to top 5. None of his fights could have prepared gesta for Vasquez other than keeping him active.
PInoy dont duck Fights!! I'm sure Gesta will take Broner!! Gesta's a much better fighter than POnce De leon, the same guy who beat Broner!!
No.........
Who in their right mind would want to unify the titles against Broner? lol :soapbox:

LOL the fight is likely going to a decision, Vazquez is a run and hit fighter bro. Gesta will not win a decision over him, only way he wins is if he can KO him which I doubt cause Vazquez has a strong chin and fought Canelo.
When a fight goes to the cards..... anything can happen.... never trust them
Vasquez just better hope it doesn't go to the cards

Dude stop being blinded by national pride, Gesta is a bum, I am not being hateful I am just telling the truth. The guy has speed and looks athletic but he is a lazy boxer, he doesn't use his speed at all he only throws a few flurries a round and that's it.
Vazquez will beat him in a super ugly boring fight, becaue Vazquez is boring and Gesta is a counter puncher with no aggression.
Gesta won't even be able to mention Broner's name after he gets exposed by Vazquez on December 8, please man just stop talking. There are only two current Filipinos who are great fighters thats Pacman and Donaire, the other guys are bums. (Brian Viloria is not a Filipino he is a Hawaiin American and repped the US in the Olympics so he doesn't count)
Vasquez just better hope it doesn't go to the cards
vasquez's power is questionable, has an exposed chin and a wimpy jab. he fights on the back foot and has sub par inside game. gesta has exceptional stamina and is gonna press vasquez with a bombarment of combinations all night long. gesta took some flush shots from barnett, who i think has more power than vasquez, and it did not faze him. gesta should win by stoppage in the late rounds
