He is capable of beating ANY Lightweight on the planet! Lightning fast, thudding power, pinpoint accuracy, punches from angles....he will be making some noise! Here are some videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWiV7...eature=related

I think gesta is a good and exciting prospect, but only time will tell if he'll be as good or as famous as manny pacquiao.

skip to 3:21 for the start of the fight...

So hes actually right handed huh? his father switched his stance over at 9 years old, thats cool, and his pop is a muay thai trainer

"Nowhere, in any walk of life, other than BOXING; can someone truly be among the top 2% on the planet at what they do for a living... And still be called a "BUM".

Antillon looks ready. Rios looks ready.

looking forward to seeing more of gesta's fights, and hopefully antillon doesn't get stopped badly, if he does get stopped...should be a war
