Maidana outpunched by melligen before beating ortiz

Who cares? Maidana looks like the kind of guy that would not do too well in sparring. He's basically a relentless brawler who throws a lot of punches and has very good punching power. We seen he's not hard to hit and his chin isn't all that great although Ortiz does hit very hard. Throw headgear and larger gloves on the guy and his power won't really come into play and he'll be easier to hit. I hate when people act like sparring and fighting are the same....because they are not.

sparing is different than real fighting

Berto Williams Mosley Mayweather Kirkland Bradley. He has no chance beating these guys. have you seen Melligen in action?

MAIDANA OUTPUNCHED BY MELLIGEN BEFORE BEATING ORTIZ PhilBoxing.com Mon, 29 Jun 2009 Reports coming out of Las Vegas have it that Filipino boxing prospect Mark Jason Melligen was toying with Marcos Maidana during their sparring sessions at the Mayweather Gym before the latter defeated Victor Ortiz yesterday. "The guy who won against Victor Ortiz which is Marcos Maidana could not hit Mark Jason Melligen. I was at all the sparring sessions with Mark and Marcos, Mark would just toy around with Maidana and stagger him a couple of times," said a Pacland forum member who said he was at the gym several times to see the sparring for himself. "The gameplan with Mark was to jab and counter, keeping Marcos moving backwards. Victor did not fight the right fight, he should have boxed and moved around," added the source, adding that Mark Jason Melligen will become a world champion someday. at least it came from a reliable and objective source :pat: isnt ronnie a contributor to that site? he fits in well with the writing staff...
