After being away for nearly 18 months, Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta put on show of boxing skills and precision as he dominated the 10-round fight against Mexico’s Gilberto “El Flacco” Gonazalez (26-4-0). Mercito controlled the fight with guidance from his Coach Marvin Somodio (Wild Card Boxing Club), his father Anecito Gesta, and cut-woman Marites Macasadia. This was the first fight with the Filipino Freddie Roach (Marvin) in his corner. As Mercito stated, “I like Marvin a lot as he is very calm, straightforward, and a great coach. I listened to him and my corner, and we came out with a victory.
Mercito won his 30th fight, in front of a sold-out crowd at the Chelsea Arena at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The No Mercy fans were in the house cheering, “NO MERCY! NO MERCY! MERCITO! MERCITO!. Fans from all ages came from the Philippines, San Diego, LA, Australia, and the UK to watch the fight. It was a great night of boxing on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes brought to the boxing world by Golden Boy Promotions.
