I know man. This guy doesn't have 4-5 fights like his first 3 opponents... 18 fights under his belt, 15 wins 11 by KO and won his last one by first round TKO. If Shiming ***** as much as some claim, he will be tested tomorrow. This was a significant step up. Arum is taking a risk hoping that Shiming will be ready for a title shot at the end of the year.
What irritates me about Vazquez is not only his running style but the fact that he calls himself "Titere"... what kind of titere runs like a chicken.
You don't know what titere means?

Yeah and those guys from thailand can fight,almost almost all of them have backgrounds in muau tai and alot of them make the transitions very well into boxing...to be honest wit though regarding shiming,im not to impressed by him but if he beats this guy convincingly i might change my tune on him a lil,but if he struggles,he could go down as all hype no substance,you know wut i mean!!

That dude shiming is fighting has a good record,should be interesting,shafikov dont know nothing about him,but the dude is really lil,so hes gonna have to get on the inside and vasquez is very good at maintaining distance,so idk if shafikov can get on the inside he should be able to get vasquez out of his comfort zone,and hopefully a good fight breaks out,but i agree vasquez does have a snoozer type style...

Let's go Shiming!!
Also hoping Vazquez gets his running *** beat up. Can't stand the guy as a fighter.
