I mentioned him on both page 1 and page 2 of this thread. He is the current Canadian champion and one huge unit. Canucks refer to him as "Monster Mel". He has a very upright style, is capable of putting punches together, but tends to come forward throwing single shots with bad intentions. He is heavy handed but I don't see him as being a concussive puncher as he moves up the levels.
His left is used mainly as a range finder although he has a decent jab if he troubles to use it. While he tends to plod forward, systematically taking most of what comes back at him on his arms, he is mobile enough to drop back smartly out of range when the need arises.
The quality of his opposition has been largely unimpressive. His best opponent was former champion Dillon Carman who is one of those fighters that is vulnerable but always dangerous - just ask Mel's fellow Canadian prospect Simon Kean, who Carman knocked out in a big upset. Although Mel stopped him in two to win the title, the fight was remarkable for the rare occurrence of a double-knockdown as they both landed simultaneously with powerful shots.
It has to be said that Carman looked by far the less affected fighter on rising to his feet but the cynic in me suspects that's probably because Dillon is no stranger to being dumped on his arse, wheras it was a new experience for Miljas and something of a shock. Carman can really dig so I don't think this is indicative of Miljas being chinny but it does suggest he is not as indestructible as his appearance might lead one to expect.
I hasten to add that I haven't seen a great deal of him but these are my impressions.
