Milan Melindo

Biography

Milan Melindo (born February 29, 1988, in Puerto, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines) is a Filipino professional boxer and current WBC Youth Intercontinental flyweight champion. His nickname comes from the devastating Typhoon Milenyo, a deadly storm that killed over 250 people in the Philippines and Vietnam. Milan Melindo was born on February 29, 1988, in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. His passion for boxing came from his father, who bought him a pair of boxing gloves. When Melindo was 6 years of age his father trained him and introduced him to the sport of boxing. Growing up, Melindo took boxing as a hobby because it was through this sport he was able to continue his study through a scholarship program. When he graduated from high school, Melindo decided to take boxing seriously to help his family’s financial needs. Melindo kept his unbeaten record going by defeating his veteran opponent via unanimous decision with the scores of 97-93, 98-92, and 96-94. Fighting style Melindo is considered one of the most skillful and promising boxers in the ALA (Antonio Lopez Aldeguer) boxing gym, although somewhat lacking in punching power. In fact, he scored only 8 KO's in 24 wins; most of this KO victories came when he was fighting in the minimumweight division. Despite the lack of punching power, he makes up for it with his quick combinations and his ability to double-up his patented left hook.
