Undefeated Cebuano standout Mercito 'Guerrero' Gesta co-headlines a card in Amas, Kidapawan City on December 16 when he takes on RP no. 6 flyweight Eugene Gonzales in a 10-round non-title affair.

The 18-year-old Gesta (8-1, 2 ko'S), fast gaining his measure of popularity following recent wins, is an undefeated Muay Thai fighter when not boxing. However, now that he has hooked up with the Braveheart Promotions of North Cotabato Governor Manny Pinol, Gesta can look forward to fighting on a regular basis.

The December 16 card is held as a birthday celebration for Governor Pinol.

The co-mainer pits Glenn Porras against top-ranked bantamweight Edgar Gabejan of Baguio City in a 10-round PBF bantam tiff.
