Comments Thread For: Mercito Gesta Upsets Joseph Diaz Jr. With Split Decision Win

[Wacked_Out]

I had it really close. If anything I give it to JoJo because I dont give much credit to pitter pat punchers even if they do land. Jo Jo landed all the hard shots in this fight.

So you are saying that I had a personal bias or preference? Diaz has been an overachiever that never got over the hump and Gesta was labeled something he isn't. I had no stock in either fighter but recognized that it was a decent match up.

Gesta pity patted too much for my taste and Diaz hit him with the better power shots. Like I said before, I did not see Diaz win, had a draw and didn't call a robbery. The scores were wide and all over the place. We can agree to disagree but the name calling doesn't make you the bigger man.

I totally agree with you. Using pejoratives to reconcile the differences is neither constructive nor mature. Even when we disagree with others, it is pivotal to have respectful and productive discussions. Mutual respect and understanding can help us in finding common ground and reaching an agreement or resolution. However, I did not call you by name; my statement was general, to which you responded, and it is not my fault.

Yes, the judges scored the fight too widely; it's important to remember that judging is a difficult task that can be subjective.

Diaz harmed himself by being lazy, which exacerbated his mental health problems. Gesta is yet another boxer who has had a decent run but may not have lived up to the initial hype surrounding him in short a bum. Do you agree?

I don't think either guy is a but and is why I tuned in. They are fighters that if you don't come ready for them they can beat you. They can't compete with the upper level because they have some intangibles that are missing. The fight was fun to watch and I can appreciate that. Not a fan of pity patting and pot shot that he was doing and is why I said a draw.

LMAO all the way to the bank today

My only regret is that I didn't wage more than $500 on Gesta Saturday night. Still a nice little money grab.

As for JoJo, he needs to stop stuffing his face with chiminichangas and ****y enchiladas ASAP or his career is DONE. 130 is where he needs to be.

Gesta has to rely on pity pat shots because he is conserving energy, which is why he is throwing quick flurries in the first minute of the round and the rest of the remaining two will rely on footwork and flash punches with less effort to derail Jojo's offense. I disagree with you that the fight is entertaining to watch; in fact, it is one of the worst main events in boxing history. The main event should have been the co-main event. .

And? Clenlo got busted with beef.

And you're still holding onto that? It's funny that's all you got, but I can pull up a list of several fighters including James Toney who tested positive for actual anabolics haha classic hating clown. Damn Lamont Peterson and Mickey Bey have some legit natural levels of testosterone lmao.

One guy winning the round by moving and pot shotting and the other guy pins him to the ropes and strafes him, I thought it was entertaining, plus Gesta showed in that fight a bit more guts in that fight.
He benefited that Diaz does not hit hard and did not use his jab.

The only fatass is your mother. It must suck that I slapped you up with facts and you had no response, which is strange since usually your loner ass has all the time in the world considering you have a ****** amount of posts in 10 years lmao. Like seriously dude go get laid Jesus man almost 80k posts? That's sad as **** considering you don't offer any real boxing input just a bunch of biased bull****.

I guarantee you probably look more like Klay Thompson than you do Draymond Green so you're so confused you don't know who to support.
