Comments Thread For: Mercito Gesta Takes Aim: I Want Adrien Broner Next!

[New England]

Guess I'll have to enjoy watching him on FNF vs bums then. Not that Broner will be doing any better on HBO fighting the likes of Rodriguez and coke heads.

ponce, litzau (coming off of the cab win, who was highly rated at the time,) escobedo, and perez are all better than anybody gesta has ever fought.

man, you dont like broner very much, lol. or canelo

gesta turned pro in '03


the difference between gesta, and canelo and broner is the quality of the fighter. if they're getting a favorable push it's because of their abilities.

canelo and broner have a flew flaws that they can work out. gesta is mostly flaws with only a few things going for him (handspeed, power, and a good chin.)

Lol you noticed? I used to like Canelo but I said if after Mosley he didn't fight a REAL opponent that was it for me. First I heard Mayorga then they went with Lopez so screw that. Lopez might be a solid opponent for anyone at 140 and 147 but 154? Hell nah. If Lopez was a real 154 lber he would be putting Canelo on a stretcher. Too tough and too durable for Canelo who seems to suffer from stamina problems with a leaky D. Im not a Gesta fan or anything I just enjoy watching him fight and I understand he's very flawed. Chances are he will fall every time he steps his competition up especially if he doesn't fix those flaws. But these people keep trying to hype Broner up to be the next greatest thing.

I don't buy into the whole Litzau thing. Never thought he was good at all and he beat a Caballero that never fought at 130 before. Perez would've been a good win if he wasn't a damn coke head. Ponce he barely squeezed thru. And Escobedo, we know the whole deal with that.
