    this guy is the future pride of the philippines.. watch him..



  2. markfan Says:

    the next filipino boxer to takeover manny’s spot



  3. bbtroy Says:

    If he would just go on to learn boxing from the Mayweathers and not the antics, this guy can go places. He certainly has the built!



  4. Ace Freeman Says:

    Mark’s size really stands out in person. He’s got a solid frame for a guy who is naturally a 140 pounder. Meaning at a young age being in his early 20’s, he’s very lean and ripped, but with wide shoulders and good definition for his size.

    He could be a solid welterweight some day.



  5. Fem Says:

    Idol is Mayweather?



  6. ET Says:

    The fighter to watch!



  7. Weishun Says:

    A bright prospect indeed.

  11. North America Says:

  12. donrigor Says:

    He will improve!



  13. james Says:

    why they posting ala boxing gym, what’s dat anyway?
    is this guy really working with the mayweather or spying to entire mayweather clan especially to floyd mayweather jr.
    i know that guy running in his veins, the bloodline.. it’s manny pacquioa, try go to wild card gym not in mayweather gym.



  14. lol Says:

    lol.mybe.but hes i dol is mayweather jr. so ithink he just want to learn more def style.



  15. bacolodnon Says:

    I know this guys family.Very humble.I believe he is with the mayweathers because thats where his managers assigned him.That is also the reason why he idolizes pbf.I just hope he will be training in Wild Card with coach Roach.Im sure they will take care of him better than pbf’s gym.In behalf of the people of our hometown Bacolod,thanks for all of you supporting mighty mark.



  16. BoxingFan Says:

    LMAO….why does everyone think that the only way to go and be a champ is to be with Freddie Roach and train at wild card gym….I personally know Mark and if you ask him where he wants to train, he always wants to train in vegas,at mayweathers gym and not at the wildcard gym. The wildcard is just a gym like every gym in the world and its not about the trainer most of the time, its about the boxers discipline, determination, and heart.



  17. Box42 Says:

    No disrespect to Freddie Roach but you dont need him to be a world champion….Lol theres lots of champs that dont train at the wild card gym…Tell me, other than manny pacquiao and amir khan, whose the other boxing champs that train under Freddie? Correct me if im wrong but there is no one other than the names i mentioned.

    So please stop saying that the wildcard gym is the only way to go because if it was, then i guess all the boxers should go to the wildcard….lol



  18. kobe24 Says:

    He dont need Freddie, he already has Tony, Edito and roger to help him train. Stay at mayweathers son and just train hard. You will be a champion and i cant wait for that day.



  19. YAY Says:

    wow, his english is not that bad actually..hehe Go MARK



  20. DavidThaKing Says:

    now everybody act like Freedie Roach is the best trainner but nobody said that when Oscar lost to Floyd and who was trainning Floyd?? Roger Mayweather who was trainning Oscar?? Freddie Roach and who won?? Floyd Mayweather so who really is the p4p best trainer?? Roger Mayweather



  21. pinoy Says:

    he speaks english well because he is from bacolod. ive been to that place and they have good command of the language. anyone out there who knows where i can buy cds of this guy’s fights?



  22. hmmm.. Says:

    hmmm…how real is he? Don’t jump on the bandwagon right away..i’ve seen this before in boom boom, gorres, banal, mayol, condes, etc



  23. kentox Says:

    the reason why hes in that gym is ,, hes style is similar to mayweather , and the right environment to put him is at mayweather’s gym,, and didnt you notice how crowded wild card gym?? he will improved there.

    thats my opinion .



  24. kentox Says:

    hes body reminds me of george st. pier’s body.. lol



  25. cenu Says:

    ive seen mark in person, the guy is huge for a 140 fighter



  26. Anonymous Says:

    ive seen him personally and his huge for a 140 fighter



  27. Anonymous Says:

    this guy is no next filipino start yet, i think donaire would take manny place in any case.. lol

    donaire rules =)



  28. Anonymous Says:

    but you see my friend….donaire fights at flyweight, its not really a lucrative division, mark on the other hand fights at 140-147, the division where all the fighters want to be



  29. enemojica Says:

  33. #1 floydfan Says:

    its to early to say, hope He’s not a quitter.



  34. Anonymous Says:

    Mayweather should have put him on the Mayweather-Marquez undercard



  35. eyes Says:

    Filipino boxers should not try and get Freddie Roach as their trainer. They should sticked to their current trainer because they wont win if they think Freddie will make them a great boxer. I actually think that Fredie Roach is a bad trainer for any other filipino boxer except for pacquiao. My advised… just stick to your trainer cos Freddie is on the snob and only trains the “ferrais” the “BMW’s” of boxers. If you’re not a big shot boxer you wont learn anything from Roach because he has better things to do than train unknown boxers.



  36. kamoteking Says:

    wow filipino!!!!im proud of him…go go go mark…freddie roach is GOOD,mayweathers is BETTER but FILIPINO IS THE BEST…MABUHAY PILIPINAS



  37. Pacquiao vs Cotto Says:

    Hey Mr. Freeman, thanks for the update on Melligen. Excellent background music bro! Mark looks good I REALLY hope he becomes world champion and yes there are other great trainers out there…Naazim Richardson, Viloria’s Mexican trainer I forgot his name and even Nacho Beristain if he wants to train Filipino boxers since he learn his craft from a Pinoy back then.



  38. Joe Blow Says:

    NICE GYM! Nice bags.
    The floor is kinda hard though.



  39. Pacquiao vs Cotto Blog Says:

    Melligen has the same frame of Miguel Cotto.



  40. kentox Says:

    is he the guy responsible for PBF rib cage injury?



  41. lool Says:

    lol.james.i dont know what are u cring about.its just a belt.a belt u paying after ur fight.remember this is pro boxing.win is win loss is loss.boxing is business.money and fame 1st than belt.



  42. ALA bira Says:

    melligen was the one who broke PBF’s rib! lol



  43. Tani Cruz Says:

    he speaks better english than pacquiao, but seems to be more shy..



  44. Ace Freeman Says:

    Guys can we keep the Floyd fans vs. Manny fans insult exchanges out of this comment section?

    There are already so many places here to discuss that.

    Lets keep this one on topic.

    Good luck Aug. 15 Mark!
