NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Mladen (The Monster) Miljas demonstrated that he has scary power in both fists last night at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre.

The Mississauga heavyweight captured the Canadian heavyweight title away from defending champion Dillon (Big Country) Carman with an awesome display of force.

Carman and Miljas nailed each other with huge left hooks at the exact same time in the first round. Both went down and then got up none the worse for wear. Carman clapped his gloves together in response to the surreal moment. But his delight was short-lived.

In the second round, Miljas nailed Carman with a left hook on the ropes and the former champion went down. A few second later, Miljas hammered Carman with a left-right combination and the Madoc, Ont. native went down again, prompting referee Mark Simmons to stop the fight at 1:21 of the second.

Miljas captured the Canadian title in only his eighth pro fight and now has eight knockouts in as many contests. He’s not the slickest and most refined heavyweight in the world, but the 25-year-old Mississauga native has incredible KO potential, demonstrating that again last night.
