he was actually one of the guys who was to fight marquez in july but I guess marquez wants to fight a bum in Mexico instead (he turned down judah, gesta, Brandon Rios, abril, etc).
I saw him fight live on the Rios vs. Abril undercard. He's young and has decent speed, he's a southpaw. I definitely liked what I saw, that fight is on youtube also I think ( against Cruz). I read somewhere that Michael Koncz brought him over to the states along with some other Filipino boxers in hopes of grooming the next paquiao. He fights on August 3 against Ty Barnett on ESPN. FNF. His biggest test to date.
good finish. I like when he lets his hands go. he takes a lot of time off rounds. I don't know, I think this is about as good as he's gonna get he's been a pro for 8 years. time to fight the big boys now.
props to mercito on the win last night dude trains outta SD been to my gym a couple times to spar with a couple of our pro boxers love the way he let's his hands go and he gots a nasty uppercut... he just called out broner he deserves a big name with that record bob arum is sleeping on putting together a great filipino card for the fans imagine manny, nonito & mercito on the same card?
Broner vs. Gesta is the closes we will get to Mayweather vs. Manny. Make it happen. I have Broner by KO if it happens but we all know about Top Rank vs. Golden Boy.
