[Boxing]: Hector Tanajara vs. Mercito Gesta

[Jating]

In terms of experience, Gesta can really dominate this undefeated boxer Tanajara, but for me experience is not the only factor that can make a boxer dominate his opponent. Tanajara is much younger and I believe that he is quicker than Gesta. But in terms of potential, i'm with this Filipino boxer, I'm not amazed with Tanajara's record.

It could also the height and the reach, Gesta has all that advantage.

As per OP's post.

height
Gesta is 5'10" vs Tanajara  5'7"

Reach
Gesta is 75cm" vs Tanajara  68cm.

You got it wrong, it's the other way around, Tanajara is taller and young and the reach advantage.

So Gesta is at a disadvantage here, that's why he is the underdog in this fight. But as you can see, you can't underestimate a boxer specially Filipinos even though the odds are against them. And even if their opponents are taller, they will find a way to win with their big heart.

I will bet on Mercito Gesta. It is in the blood of the Filipino of a fighting spirit. I saw lot of good boxers coming from around the world but mostly champions are comong from mexican blood and Filipino blood. Most likely mexican is the neigbor of spain to which colonized the Philippines for few decades. In short that we probably share the same fighting spirit.

Anyway, truly this guy is explosive and it will matter on practice and endurance. I do think that this guy still has it and could easily win this match.

I take no pride for being colonized but yes I can bet to Mercito Gesta. 32-3-3 is no dobt an impression record. The experience is there, he don't panic but even took his time to beat some of his opponents. I just hope he won't be a punching bag infront of Tanajara. Gesta has the habit of not lifting his hands and if he does it during the fight, the long arms of Tanajara will quickly take the opportunity to reach more jabs to his face.

I agree with you and we know on certain fights on where Filipino boxers can really make out an upset match.We know on what Filipinos are capable of when it comes to Boxing which shouldnt really be taken off lightly.

Reach advantage and age advantage yes, Tanajara do have it but it wont really be enough nor he shouldnt be confident just because of those factors. experience is also a big deal plus the endurance.

Tanajara should expect that this fight wont be an easy one even if he do have some point of advantage.
