The Silent Assassin Miel Fajardo Floors, Stops World-Ranked Agustin Gauto in Dubai

By Carlos Costa

“The Silent Assassin” does it again: another thrilling knockout win. Hard-hitting Filipino 108-pounder Miel Fajardo “The Silent Assassin” (8-1-2, 7 KO’s) of San Francisco, Agusan del Sur, did not waste any time in stalking and punishing undefeated world-ranked Argentinian warrior Agustin Gauto (17-1, 12 KO’s), rocking him 3 times to the canvas, once in the opening stanza and then again in the next chapter en route to a fast & furious round 2 stoppage win Saturday, March 26, at the Duty-Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai, United Araba Emirates.

The scheduled 8 round did not make the distance at all as Miel Fajardo’s power, accuracy and determination propelled him to victory over the favorite Argentinian rising star managed by former champ Rene “Chino” Maidana.

Since Agustin Gauto has been ranked as # 6 by the WBA and # 3 by the WBO, it is highly likely the victorious 22-year-old Pinoy slugger might be included in the world rankings of those organizations. Hopefully so.

It was an outstanding performance for “The Silent Assassin” Miel Fajardo Saturday in Dubai, a triumph that sky-rockets his standing in the light flyweight division, congratulations!
