Not every fighter is blessed with power and no-one would ever describe Milan Melindo as a puncher though he does have a number of relatively early stoppages, including one over former 3-time Korean national champion Jin Man Jeon in what was a pretty fun to watch fight between two guys who aren't big punchers. The fight started with a good opening round that saw both men landing some solid shots. In round 2 however an incredible combination from Melindo sent the Korean down in agony with an apparent eye injury. The injury was so bad that Jeon stayed down for the 10 count before getting medical attention and congratulating Melindo on the win. Since this fight Melindo has become a fixture in the world rankings and, although he lost to Juan Francisco Estrada, we'd expect to see him fighting in several world title fights in coming years. Jeon, although not a major name, has, prior to this fight, fought Hirofumi Mukai, as mentioned in commentary, Takefumi Sakata and interestingly held a notable win over Suriyan Sor Rungvisai
