sparring.... thats all it was

[gopi11]

I saw them fight. Bienvenidez got the better of Gesta but he also got the better of pacqiao in their sparring before. I think this guy will be something.

kapatid, Pacquiao was just clowning Benavidez here:




But I do believe this kid will have a great future, better than all the prospects out there...

I agree man, he looks very good indeed, very promising. He is further along than Gesta, but Gesta is right where he needs to be at this stage.

Yep, it is just a sparring session, and Benavidez is going to be a terrific fighter.

Gesta is right where he needs to be, at wildcard, with his head down, working hard, gaining experience with exposure to top training/sparring.
