You are right about that "no mercy" but that is easier said than done.

gesta acutally looks kind of small for a lightweight,,,let's see how he looks tonight

Linares will stop him

Linares is too skilled, fast and throws a lot of punches. Hard to out point him on scorecards. Gesta only shot is knocking him out

Linares seems to have worked his way back and I am happy to see that... but it has been a certain level of opponent, so a part of it does feel like it could be a mirage.

Gesta is not really a big step up in class from those other recent fights but overall, but I think he does bring more power. His problem will be letting his hands go and plodding footwork- but he should definitely should be aggressive and show no respect because we don't really know where Linares truly is right now. He does have enough power to hurt Linares so we'll see if he can land, not so sure

Gesta did better than I thought he would, never really rated him but that was a gritty performance. he is tough alright
