Easy night's work for Linares.

Gesta is slow, but durable and Linares is good, but frail. Linares by bloody whatever.

Gesta ain't slow, but his speed and skill won't be enough for Linares. I don't even see how he got this shot, he's ranked 24 on boxrec against the #2 Lightweight Linares. But I'm still hoping for a Chocolatito vs Rungvisai type result.

It's the feet. Gesta is a plodder.

Miguel Vasquez boxed circles around Gesta. I imagine Linares will do the same thing.

I still can't believe that some people on this forum were hyping him before the Vasquez fight.

Garbage fight but what can you expect from GB and Linares when they expected 50/50 against Mikey. Both GB and Linares know they aren't a bigger draw than Mikey. There's a reason why GB allows Linares to fight over seas so much, because GB isn't willing to pay for his fights here in the US. GB saw Linares drawing power when he headlined at Forum his last fight. My cousin got free tickets that GB was giving away and we went and the Forum was completely empty. GB knew that Mikey would sell out in SoCal and wanted to take half of it when Linares didn't deserve it, now Linares is stuck fighting in a garbage fight while Mikey will be fighting Easter at Barclays.
