Zepeda had some good momentum going until he refused the Stevenson fight. With all the talent at 135 he should be facing somebody better than Gesta.

Gesta is a solid lightweight, but he won't be able to overcome Zepeda's volume and age advantage.

I like Gesta, he's had a couple nice wins of late against some faded names. Its very hard for me to see Mercito not getting overwhelmed and stopped by Zepeda.

Zepeda should win, but it might turn out to be a more interesting fight than it looks on a first glance.

Golden boy is going to keep recycling gesta and jojo for the next five years aren’t they?

[Bronx2245]

OK, now that means the only viable opponent they have for Schofield is Jo Jo Diaz! Make It Happen!

[Corelone]

I'll say it. This is the B class. Nobody is expecting anything special, but it's still better than we're getting from the heavys. Ngoogoo isn't even C class.

They don't have a lot of guys in their stable doe. At least they're keeping them busy.
PBC got a large stable. They just keep them on the shelves.
Then they come back in showcase fights. Isn't that neat?
