Comments Thread For: Mercito Gesta Scores Two Knockdowns, Outpoints Joel Diaz Jr. In Golden Boy Fight Night Main Event

Diaz Jr by atrociously boring UD. Hesta was always **** and hasnt done anything since losing to Linares a zillion years ago.

This aged well.

OOh wee

A lot of close rounds we'll see how the judges have it.

Cards as follows: 96-92 X2 and 95-93, UD for Gesta

Good cards, right guy won. Diaz showed resilience after the early KD's and brought good action, so he can come again. Should match Diaz with a guy like Carlos Morales or Robert Manzanarez

[paulf]

This is why we watch, boys. Gesta has been a nobody for five years. One night, just like that, and he's back on the map in a huge way. Could see a title shot coming his way ASAP.

Great win for Gesta coming off that two year layoff

[BigZ44]

Good win for Gesta, but I REALLY hope they don't put him in with Garcia next. Would really like to see him against Romero Duno in an all Filipino war, or even against vulnerable Alberto Machado, that could be an interesting fight

Gesta looked great after the layoff man he's like a cat with nine lives. Been left for dead many times then gets big wins to get back in the mix. Except for one upset all his losses have been in world title fights. That's the level he can't get passed those top world champs. But when he's on he's dangerous for contenders. Going to get another big fight off this win.

Diaz not sure where goes he lost this fight by coming out not ready in round 1.

[paulf]

If you missed this fight, you missed out. One of the best I've seen this year.

Very good comeback for Gesta.
