He was initially told that he'll fight last March 23 but was later moved to Saturday as an under card of what then was Rios vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa. Two names that Gesta's camp were interested in fighting even before that match was made. " Si Rios, yung kampo nila ayaw nila eh. Ewan kung bakit ayaw nila." ( Rios' camp does not want it. I don't know why they don't want the fight.) Gesta's manager Vince Parra told this writer back in December that they have accepted to fight Rios in the under card of the Miguel Cotto - Antonio Margarito bout in New York but Rios' team picked John Murray instead. Gesta's team also stated that they also challenged Yuriorkis Gamboa in the past but his camp refused as well.
Gesta stated that Rios and Gamboa were not the only one who refused to face him in the ring. It took them awhile to land them an opponent for this Saturday as other fighters were reluctant to sign to fight him. He mentioned the names of Jose Alfaro, Luis Arceo, American Ty Barnett and a certain Silva from Brazil. " Talagang ito na lang si Cuerro ang nag -accept." ( It was only Cuerro who accepted.) Gesta admitted that he was a little disappointed in not fighting a named opponent or one with a good record. " Medyo, dahil yung mga fans, gusto nila makita na medyo me pangalan yung kalaban ko atsaka mas magandang record pero wala akong magawa kundi I-accept yung fight. Siya lang ang nag - sign ng contract na lumaban kaya kesa hindi ako lumaban. ( I am a little bit disappointed because the fans wanted to see me fight a named opponent and /or one with a good record but Cuero was the only one who signed the contract and that's better than me not fighting.) said Gesta. I asked him what he thinks the reason is why these fighters avoid him. Gesta offers no clue. " Ewan ko. Baka nagkamali sila ng career nila, hindi boxing. ( I don't know. Maybe they chose the wrong career, it should not be boxing.) he jokingly replied.
