It was all business for 140 pound Filipino prospect ‘Mighty’ Mark Melligen (15-1, 11 KOs) as he worked out at a torrid pace in the sweltering Las Vegas heat inside Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s personal gym on Friday afternoon. Under the watchful eye of the ALA Gym’s ace trainers Tony Martin and Edito Villamor, the 23 year old Melligen went through the paces at a torrid work rate. It was a sparring day and Melligen received an excellent workout being matched step for step by one of Roger Mayweather’s slick charges. Melligen mixed in a very patient body attack and scored well with the left uppercut. Working on defense, the young Pinoy fighter looks ready to impress as the opening televised act on Nonito Donaire’s Aug. 15 card in Las Vegas. After completing six rounds of rigorous sparring, Melligen shadow boxed, hit the bag and finished off with some intense stretching. He is definitely yet another young Filipino prospect to keep an eye on as he sets his sights on the American television market.
