Hailing out of the Bay Area (Vallejo, CA) rapper/entrepreneur, DL da ARSUN who has created a solid fan base abroad and known for his relentless GRIND in the music industry to be one of the hardest working independent artist in the game. Through a mutual friend, Ryan Largo, these GRINDERS would soon come to combine forces. DL has written a song just for Mercito titled “SHOW’EM NO MERCY.” This is just not any song, its a song that would lift the boxers spirit in difficult circumstances and over all motivate Mercito to show the world what “NO MERCY” is truly about. Mercito, DL da ARSUN, as well as Ryan Largo met in San Diego recently to confirm and discuss No Mercy’s song. As a result to the song, the two entertainers decided to take it a step further for fans on both sides.

Photo Credit: Neil Macasadia Never count Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta out! On December 8, 2012, Mercito lost his first ever fight against Miguel Vazquez in a unanimous decision for the IBF Lightweight Title fight (PHOTOS) at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. As Miguel Vazquez retained his IBF Title, he visited Mercito in his locker room and told him that he is a strong fighter and will be a champion one day. As stated by Bert Salamida, one of Mercito’s fans in San Diego, “Failure is a stepping stone on the path to success”. Although Mercito suffered his first failure in his boxing career, Mercito will learn from this championship fight, grow to become stronger and hungrier, and build the confidence once again to be the champion that Vazquez predicts in the future. This failure was a big stepping stone for Mercito which will eventually lead to future success in his boxing career. Fans and family (PHOTOS) all over the world believe in Mercito “No Mercy” Gesta and we are proud of his courage and efforts during his championship fight.

By Bill Center Photo Credit: K.C. Alfred Source Doc: http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/dec/08/vazquez-dominates-gesta-san-diegans-first-title-fi/ LAS VEGAS — Mercito Gesta didn’t get a title Saturday night. But he did get a lesson. Mexico’s Miguel Angel Vazquez easily out-classed Gesta to successfully defend his International Boxing Federation lightweight title on the undercard of the fourth Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Vazquez scored a unanimous decision. The only surprise was that one judge gave Gesta three rounds. The Spring Valley resident won two rounds on another card and one round on the third. Some observers at ringside had Vazquez winning every round while others gave him only the ninth and/or 10th rounds. Vazquez never hurt Gesta. In fact, Gesta might have had the two best punches of the fight, a pair of hard rights thrown in a 15-second span of the ninth round. But although both fighters are 25 years old, Vazquez worked like a veteran champion while Gesta appeared inexperienced in just his 28th boxing match. The former Muay Thai kick boxer from The Philippines never boxed as an amateur while Vazquez had more than a hundred amateur fights before turning pro. The inexperience cost Gesta, who has boxed out of San Diego since 2007. He was unable to stop the unorthodox Vazquez from counter-punching while relentlessly circling to his left. “He was so awkward in the ring,” Gesta said of Vazquez. “I never got my rhythm going.” “Cut him off, force the action,” Gesta’s trainer Vince Parra said between many of the early rounds. “Don’t let him frustrate you. Don’t play his game.” But he did. “Vazquez runs away,” Gesta said days before his first title fight. “I plan to slow him down, cut off the ring and get inside and work the body when I can. I can’t let him stay on the move.” Vazquez was never slowed. He was never cut off. And Gesta never worked the body. “The game plan was to move and box and it went perfectly,” said Vazquez of Guadalajara, Mexico. Gesta landed only 61 punches over 12 rounds. He did pick up the pace after landing only 13 punches in the first five rounds. Most of the rights Gesta threw with the intent of cutting off Vazquez’s circling missed. And he was never able to close with his jab on Vazquez, who at 5-foot-10 had a three-inch advantage in height and reach. Gesta landed just 18 percent of the punches he threw. Vazquez landed 195 of 616 punches – or 11 more punches on average per three-minute round. Vazquez had a 99-punch edge in the first three rounds as he piled up points with a quick if not overly powerful left hand. The loss was Gesta’s first in 28 fights. He had won nine of his last 11 fights by knockout. But aside from the two solid rights in the ninth, Gesta had...
