Anecito Gesta brought up his eldest son the way he had been brought up — fighting.

“He would offer them money if they could beat me,” Mercito said. “Big kids, older than me. Bigger.”

UNDEFEATED Mercito Gesta has yet to climb the ring in Las Vegas, where he is set to gun for the IBF lightweight title in the main undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez IV on December 8 (December 9, Manila time).

Yet the guy already feels like a winner.

Reason: The entire Gesta family is now in the ‘land of milk and honey’ and living the American dream.

Instead if surrrounding himself with close friends and hangers on, Mercito spent the advance he got from his fight purse and bought tickets for his parents Aniceto and Mercy and younger brother Dondon so they could join him in a winter resort at Big Bear, California, where he has been doing high-altitude training to improve his cardio endurance.

Gesta’s father now serves as head trainer while his mother is Team Gesta’s nutritionist, who has been preparing what she calls ‘power juice’ from freshly squeezed pineapple, watermelon, apple, celery, and carrots for his son.
