People need to stop sleeping on Zou, hes already the biggest draw the sport has ever seen

Since when do you care about draws? Zou sucks, simple as that.

I don't know what Arum is going to be able to do with Shiming. 112 is arguably the deepest division in boxing. He would get murdered by Yaegashi who isn't a big puncher for 112. Imagine what Estrada, Segura, Gonzalez, or Viloria would do to him. All he title holders all solid fighters and the only way Shiming becomes champ is if they stip one of these guys and he fights some can for the vacant strap.

112 is awesome, but those divisions are usually in flux. Soon enough a lot of those guys will have moved up, while Shiming has probably peaked weight wise and may even be able to drop down for his first title ala DLH or Broner.

I'm sure Zou Shiming is a big draw, as Manny fights as cofeature on his cards in Macau.

Wouldn't that kind of be a good thing? - if Shiming can beat them- People won't be able to say he got gifted a belt and is overhyped, etc..

Draw has nothing to do with a boxers talent or ability but personally I just dismissed him in my OP because I've just never saw him fight so I don't know how good he is.

Looks like an interesting card. Shafikov just may be able to make it a watchable fight with Vazquez. Then you get Murata and Egor. Hope HBO2 is onboard

Shafikov's been calling out the big names for a while now, he's been calling out Broner for like a year... good for him he's finally getting his title shot. I'm glad Top Rank has actually been promoting some of their recent signings decently lately and they haven't been getting ignored.

I've been calling for a Shafikov-Crawford fight, I hope we get that.

I like Murata and Egor is a monster!

Probably not, IIRC the mid east doesn't take a favorable view towards sports except soccer, cricket, and F1 racing.
