    Barnett's chin is as sturdy as an egg. Doesn't mean much.

      Gesta was toying with this guy, acting ****y, clowning when he got touched.

      give Barnett credit for staving off the inevitable.

      Gesta is just an average fighter like Hank Lundy. Time will till if Gesta improves but right now he's just a borderline contender for a belt.

      He's a fun to a watch guy because he slugs away, i can see why he wanted to fight Rios so badly with those uppercuts

        Barnett said he was going to impose his will on Gesta. I think I missed that part of the fight.

          The point is, the egg wouldn't crack in the earlier rounds but he was able to do it in the later ones.

            he's fun to watch because he gets hit and has nice combos when he lets his hands go

            i give up on waiting for him to 'improve'...he's been a pro for 8 years now...what you see is what you get


            throw him in there with the big boys

              He really fights down to the level of his opposition.

                He is not a Bum, he is just no Donaire or Pacquiao...not even close to those caliber of fighters, but it sucks that people put that type of pressure on him

                ??? Lundy is a way better fighter then Gesta and way more skilled also fought much better Competition

                  the egg wouldn't crack in the early rounds which means gestas power is overrated..................

                    Not sure I ever heard anyone trying to call him some type of KO artist.

                      rios was a suicidal thought for gesta.......

                      rios would have beat gesta into submission...........
