Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Sees "Big Star" Potential in Mercito Gesta

[Alibata]

you obviously haven't seen the rios-teron fight.teron would actually beat gesta if they met right now

Yeah Rios is definitely a fighter I am high on right now... I think he has the potential to be a great fighter...

Gesta we really don't know what he is capable of yet.... He could be hype or he could be something... Right now, I am siding on hype but like I said, you never know... Plus Rios has the benefit of a great trainer... For Gesta to step it up he got to get a better team.

[AdamantiumPI]

Too early to tell, he's not ready for someone like Rios yet. He should gradually step up his competition.

Yeah if it weren't for that Acosta fight I wouldn't be agreeing with you right now.... Based on experience and levels of opposition, I can't really refute your opinion.

Mercito is still young and should have more fights and experience.

lol brandon rios would kill this dude.if arum sees this big star potential in him he wouldn't put him in there with any top contender

i guess so but gesta is buying into his hype too much if he thinks going from jounreymen to rios is a good idea

I agree... But he said 2 or 3 more fights.. We will see... Gesta has a lot to prove... Not a super big fan of his yet... I am not overly impressed with him because of his competition... Only 1 standout fight against Meza, I need to see more to make a good judgement.

Yep... but you never know..... A comparison is better then your unqualified opinion.

Brandon Rios and Mercito Gesta have a common opponent in Oscar Meza... Oscar Meza has a great record with 21 wins 17kos 4 loses 2 of which to Rios and Gesta. Gesta actually out did Rios in that fight.. I watched both and Gesta had a better performance then Rios.. Looks like Gesta took punches better then Rios as well.
