Shiming can't be a champion in the Flyweight division

sounds like a hard division. i dont pay attention to the flyweights as much but "fists of gold" does have potential! experience is always gold.

My bad, when I said he I mean to say Zou. The three guys he fought weren't experienced at all... Megrino been around the block. It's all good. I thought you were talking about Megrino because he has typically lost to most the the experienced fighters he faced. But he's really turned his career around and put together the longest winning streak in his career. I'm not trying to **** all over Shiming either. He looked pretty good last night. But his advanced age and lack of power and experience in the pros cast doubts over his future. It's a deep division and getting deeper with the like of Gonzalez and soon Ioka will be in the mix as well.

zhou looked alittle better in his 3rd fight,, i still dont like his future much, but he has made progress, his punches last night were nice and straight and overall he looked like a pro fighter instead of an amateur, he wasnt as sloppy or wild as he was in his first 2 fights

I thought one of the highlights of the event was Shiming, he looked great last night IMHO. Punches were sharp, movement was slick and he is delivering heavier swings now. He was looking like a mini-Pac out there. I am a Shiming fan, he is a skilled fighter. I dont think they watched last nights fight that was entertaining the little guy has some real skills

I don't get what you guys see in him. As far as I'm concerned, Shiming is the reason why so many people knock Olympic gold medals. How he earned one, let alone two, is beyond me. Like I said his punches come from weird angles and is always in motion. and he looks to be punching with a little more authority. Training and sparring with pacquiao will elevate his game even more.

He may have come up short in a lot of fights but he has to much experience for Shiming. He's another one of these guys who had to learn on the job taking fights against top prospects in their home countries. He just beat the crap out of Myung Ho Lee, dropping him 3 times. Lee almost upset Sosa in Mexico last year. Sosa escaped with a MD in Mexico. Now he's fighting Yaegashi next month. Megrino really isn't that bad, his record is very deceiving and he's ranked 8th in the division by boxrec. Megrino would crush Shiming because of his lack of experience and power. It would be extremely embarrassing for a two time gold medalist to lose to a guy with 20 losses but it would happen. My bad, when I said he I mean to say Zou.

He was looking like a mini-Pac out there. I am a Shiming fan, he is a skilled fighter. He looked good last night. I was entertained with his performance. He definitely has skills. You dont win 2 olympic gold medals being ****. I like his intincts as a fighter. He gets hit but his always rolling with the punches and he throws his punches in weird angles. kind of like a flyweight carl froch with no power. I won't be surprised if he wins a world title at all especially training at wildcard. I don't get what you guys see in him. As far as I'm concerned, Shiming is the reason why so many people knock Olympic gold medals. How he earned one, let alone two, is beyond me.

Shiming would have to fight exponentially better than he did last night and even that was considered major improvement.

Its not that he wont get a belt because the division is too stacked,, He wont get one because Zhou is not that good of a pro, very sloppy, no power, still very amateurish.. and everyone knows that shimming-ali raymi is the biggest fight to make in the division, and ali raymi will crush him Bingo. My thoughts exactly. Shiming sucks.

The tough journeyman who beat Pong Wongjakim right? Anyway, most the people he's been beating were low level contenders who weren't as experienced He may have come up short in a lot of fights but he has to much experience for Shiming.

But can any of the top 10 make $500g for a fight :lol1:.

Unfortunately for Shiming flyweight is one of the deepest divisions in boxing right now. Shiming would get destroyed by any of the top guys at 112. He wouldn't even beat Rey Megrino, who is very underrated. The tough journeyman who beat Pong Wongjakim right?

He'll just become a legend beating all of those guys!

yeah, he looks like he's starting to adjust to the pro game

He is going to get his sht pushed in by any of the tittle holders. He still gets tagged alot and against the big hitters he will pay dearly. Probably fight for the interim title... doesn't even beat Reveco and sure as hell doesn't beat Estrada

Uhhhh ohhh Top Rank Boxing ‏@trboxing 11h Arum says Zou Shiming, who won tonight, will fight for a title next year. He is going to get his sht pushed in by any of the tittle holders. He still gets tagged alot and against the big hitters he will pay dearly.

I don't really look at Shiming as a great pro-boxer, nor do I expect him to be... But his soul purpose is to use his Olympic popularity as a catalyst for Chinese/Asian boxing demographics.... And if that means making our beloved sport even more global, then I'm all for it. THat's pretty much all he's there for... haven't really been impressed with any of them so far
