I remember trainer Vince Parra telling me over the summer that he was interested in setting up his fighter, lightweight contender Mercito Gesta (26-0-1, 14 KO’s), in camp in the California mountains of Big Bear ahead of his Aug. 3 clash with Ty Barnett.
And while those original plans would change, as Gesta trained in his adopted hometown of San Diego prior to his 9th round TKO over Barnett, a visit to Big Bear was still in order.
Hitting up Abel Sanchez’s Summit Gym on the first of this month, Team Gesta is presently eyeing a date with IBF champion Miguel Vazquez on the pay per view undercard ofManny Pacquiao’s fourth meeting with Juan Manuel Marquez, set to take place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand on Dec. 8.

Budding lightweight contender Mercito ‘No Mercy’ Gesta (26-0-1, 14 KO’s) is settling into his training camp in the mountains of Big Bear, California.
Having been in the area for a little over a week, Gesta is preparing for the challenge of IBF champion Miguel Vazquez (32-3, 13 KO’s) on the televised pay per view undercard portion on the Manny Pacquiao–Juan Manuel Marquez IV event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Dec. 8.
Gesta and his team are training out of Abel Sanchez’s Summit Gym, the same facility that has been used by Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Miguel Cotto in recent times.
Gesta hits the gym from 12 to 2 pm while Sanchez oversees his talented stable afterwards, including undefeated junior lightweight prospect Joel Diaz Jr., welterweight contender Carson Jones, and WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
