Former world junior lightweight champion Cornelius Boza Edwards has been impressed by Philippine light welterweight champion Mark Jason Melligen (12-1, 9 KO’s) who is training at the gym of Roger Mayweather in Las Vegas.

One of the top pound-for-pound fighters in his time Boza Edwards lost his WBC super featherweight title in a stunning 5th round knockout to Rolando Navarette on August 29, 1981 in Viarregio, Italy.

Longtime Cebu resident and boxing trainer Tony Martin informed ALA Promotions chairman Tony Aldeguer that Mayweather who is a brother of Floyd Mayweather Sr and an uncle of the former pound-for-pound No. 1 Floyd Mayweather Jr who has retired, was also pleased with the sharpness shown by the hard-hitting southpaw after a hard day’s training.

Martin quoted Boza Edwards and Mayweather as telling him, the 22 year old Melligen "punches hard, is fast, is relaxed and in excellent shape."

Melligen sparred "eight sharp rounds and showed no signs of f atigue" according to Martin who failed however to identify his sparring partners. He said that in addition Melligen went five rounds on the mitts after the sparring and that "his speed and power have really improved" since training in Las Vegas.

Since Melligen’s March 7 bout is in Denver, Colorado which is at an altitude of around 6,000 feet, Martin makes him run in the mountains every day in Nevada.

Philippine light welterweight champion Mark Jason Melligen (13-1, 10 KO’s) is “confident and ready” to face Ramon Montano in a 140 pound bout at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on the eve of the showdown between Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Britain’s Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton.

Trainer Tony Martin who is working with Edito “Ala” Villamor in preparing Melligen for his second fight in the US following an impressive debut at the Mile High Center in Colorado when he scored a 5th round TKO over Mexico’s Gerardo Cesar Prieto, said Melligen has “gone under intense training” since his return to Las Vegas last April 4."

With that win on a Top Rank card, Melligen earned a shot at Montano who has a record of 17-6-2 with 2 knockouts.

Martin told BoxingScene.com, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that both he and Villamor have been working “on all aspects of his (Melligen’s) skills in preparation for the showdown with Montano at the Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas on May 1.

Martin said Melligen’s sparring “has been very good and intense and will continue that way.”

While fully aware of Montano’s credentials, Martin, a longtime Cebu resident said both he and Villamor realize how important this fight is to all concerned. He added, “make no mistake, when Melligen steps into that ring he will be fuly focused and more than ready to perform at his very best. We are confident.”

Montano was a onetime sparring partner of Pacquiao and dropped a majority decision to then reigning WBC lightweight champion David Diaz on March 15, 2008. Some months later Pacquiao battered Diaz into submission in nine rounds to win the WBC lightweight crown.

After his win over Montano, Diaz said “he was a real tough kid but my conditioning really played a part in the second half of the fight. I hit him with some good, hard combinations in the later rounds but he showed a lot of heart staying in the fight.”

In his last fight Montano scored an impressive fourth round knockout over Arturo Ramos.

Melligen who took the Prieto fight at 147 pounds just to get a chance to show promoter Bob Arum what kind of a fighter he was will now go back to fighting as a light welterweight when he battles Montano.

Melligen dropped Prieto in the third round with a left straight and continued to punish him, forcing Prieto to quit at the end of the 5th round.

Melligen said his opponent was big and a light middleweight who came in at 165 pounds and although Prieto “hit hard I could handle his power easily.” Melligen also noted that his opponent was “a little slow and I could see the punches coming.”

The win was a confidence booster for Melligen who lived up to predictions that he would overpower the heavily built 30 year old Prieto who dropped to 6-6-1 with no knockouts. Among those Prieto had fought were reigning WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto and undefeated Vanes Martirosyan. The 22 year old Melligen improved his to 13-1 with 10 knockouts.
