Comments Thread For: With Manny Mania Going On, Don’t Forget Mercito Gesta

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - It can’t be easy to be a Filipino boxer fighting two days before Manny Pacquiao meets Floyd Mayweather this Saturday in Las Vegas, and no one knows that better than Mercito Gesta, who has been asked more about his countryman’s bout than his own against Carlos Molina on Thursday in Indio, California.

“A lot of times, man, a lot,” Gesta laughs, but he takes it all in stride, knowing that it’s part of the business. But another part is knowing that he has to take care of his own business first against Molina in a clash that may be under the radar, but one that’s also one of the most intriguing this week. “It’s always going to be like that, but I need to focus on my own fight. My trainer, which is my dad, is always there and he’s always watching me, and he’s keeping me focused on my fight. I’ve been in this sport for quite a while, so I know how to do my thing too. I’m excited for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, but I have to do mine first.”

And while Gesta-Molina may not be the most [Click Here To Read More]

So you must be a Gesta fan lol, I still remember Bob Arum hugging this dude after he beat up two cans, calling him the next star from the PI, and when Gesta didn't do anyting against Vasquez, Arum dropped him like a bad habit.

Gesta embarrassed Arum, Arum was telling everyone how great this kid is, and Gesta put on the most boring fight in the past 10 years, he knew Vasquez was a runner but never worked on a pressure fighting gameplan. and just stood there trying to catch Vasquez coming in lol

Dude is a joke, its his own fault, if Arum had that much praise for me and invested in me I would have fought my azz off like a prime Pacquiao, you can make millions if you fight hard.

Gesta is overrated! the real pinoy prospect is Prince Albert Pagara, he's never lost in his life both in amateurs and pro. Theres also this other kid, I think his last name is magsayo. There's going to be a lot of talented pinoy fighters in the future.

No. I'm not even Pinoy lol
