Reno, Nevada- Rising Filipino welterweight prospect ?Mighty? Mark Jason Melligen predicts that he will knock out African Anges Adjaho in the fifth round of their fight tomorrow. ?I am not a prophet but my instincts tell me it?s gonna be an early KO. I am a natural welterweight while my opponent went up from lightweight. I?m stepping in the ring as the bigger guy. My usual weight after weigh in is at 155 lbs. I?m gonna make use of that advantage?, Melligen stated.
When asked what his message to new found nemesis Michel Rosales was, Melligen told this writer, ?Rosales has no word of honor. I?m disappointed that I was not given the chance to redeem my loss to him. I believe I won that fight though I admit it was not my best fight. He?s a chicken. He will taste my fury when we meet somewhere in the future. I know he will face me later on when the purse is too good for him to refuse.?
The soft spoken fighter from Bacolod City also expressed that he will gladly fight anybody who is placed before him by Top Rank. As his closing statement, Mighty Mark spoke, ?I really want to fight the best out there. I trust my promoter Bob Arum. He knows what?s best for his boxers. I know that the title fight will come soon. I?m doing my best in every fight to show the world I am ready to bring home another championship belt to my Country.?
