I'm not a pinoy hater. I also do agree that Gesta is being guided not so much protected at this point because there isn't much to protect as he doesn't have much status yet. I am predicting that Arum WILL protect Gesta like he does JCC Jr. because decent pinoy boxers above 130 are hard to find.

everybody looks bad against abril.
abril is a very good fighter
one of the best in the world right now at LW, if not the very best.
in fact, he's an awful style for marquez as well. he'd beat marquez at his age.

[QUOTE=AdamantiumPI;12161210]Benavidez Jr. is 20 years old and Top Rank likes to give their fighters soft opposition.QUOTE]Benavidez has NO problem fighting 27 year olds as long as their records are 4-4-2 and 6-9-0 so age has nothing to do with it. And his next fight is with a guy with 2 losses in a row. Real courage there.Last edited by richardt; 05-23-2012, 11:38 AM.

While fighters who are 14-0 are fighting 20-1, and 17-0 fighters on ShoBox, Benavidez is being spoon-fed gravy train stiffs like 6-7 James Hope. Benavidez is OVERPROTECTED, just like David Lemiuex was. Obviously team Benavidez has very little confidence in him putting him in with stiffs. I'll stick to watching undefeated's going against undefeated's on ShoxBox than the crap Benavidez is fighting.Last edited by richardt; 05-23-2012, 11:26 AM.

gesta imo shouldn't have even been mentioned as a possible opponent for marquez considering he really had done nothing to deserve that shot. I think gesta fighting this undefeated fighter next is a good step up...wouldn't mind seeing it.

It's good see Gesta fighting another undefeated fighter. Gesta is slowly improving but I just don't think he's talented enough to be a legitimate star. I would like to see Gesta prove me wrong. I also think Benavidez will go on to have a better career than Gesta.
Richardt who do you think is the better prospect, Gesta or Benavidez Jr.?
