[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Budding lightweight prospect Mercito ‘No Mercy’ Gesta saw his name thrust into the headlines earlier this week when a rumor leaked that the Mandaue City, Philippines-born fighter was being considered as a possible opponent for lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez this coming July at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

I'd pretend I didn't know who this guy was, but I'm a hardcore fan...seen him fight twice. He's decent but my god, I'd enjoy watching marquez dissect this clown for even thinking he has what it takes to compete, much less beat JMM. If manny can't beat marquez, certainly this rookie is a spec of scum under juans little piggy.

I made a prediction that Gesta would be the Pinoy version of JCC Jr. a protected fighter, but I was wrong. Arum must not think much of Gesta because there's no way anyone can think Gesta is worthy of this fight after beating Ricardo Dominguez. Arum cashing in Gesta in one big fight.

Marquez will *** you up the ass so bad and not even give you a courtesy lick

...He has a better chance of maintaining a respectable career after the defeat Rios would give him, as oppose to the murderous beating Marquez would inflict upon him.

"No Mercy" Gesta You will need God's mercy on your soul if you fight Marquez homie.

I'd like to see this guy fight someone like Urbano Antillon, Miguel Acosta or even Michael Katsidis. If he gets by any of those guys, he might be in line for a fight against against JMM. Until then, he's just pissing in the wind and getting most of it on his face. Talk is cheap, you gotta earn it.

If Rios has the balls to fight him you mean...

Mercito would get his ass schooled so he should stick to other fighters at lightweight.

Anyone else think Gesta is being rushed?
