Fight Preview
Shiming Vs Ortega
Flyweight division.
27/7/13
Cotai Arena
Venetian Resort
Macao
China
Saturday evening marks the 2nd professional fight of Zou
Shiming China’s most successful & decorated amateur boxer ever, Shiming
(32) with a record of 1-0 since turning professional on Chinese terrestrial tv
with reported viewing figures in the 150+ million this highly decorated
flyweight boxer achieved many great things as a amateur boxer representing his
country proudly.
His medal collection range’s from – 2 Sillver’s at the Asian
Championships, 2 Gold’s at the Asian Games, a Gold at the world University
Championships, 3 Gold’s & 1 Silver at the World Amateur Boxing
Championships, last but not least he won 2 Gold’s & 1 Bronze at at 3
Olympic games. His a national treasure in amateur boxing terms in his country
he is boxing there is no other Chinese athlete who can compete popularity wise
he is to china what floyd mayweather is to boxing his a superstar.
Considering his 32 years old & having his 2nd fight vs
Mexican Jesus Ortega 3-1 2ko’s,Zou Shiming has the weight of the whole country
on his shoulder’s his representing his nation, even if he is competing as a pro
with no head guard & vest the expectations are huge with Top Rank promoting
him and Bob Arum at the wheel steering the journey only time will tell what
will come of the man from China who’s ability to collect gold medals at
tournaments as a amateur were visible for many years to boxing fans, age
against him but opposition in the flyweight division not terribly strong I
imagine Zou Shiming will fight for a word title within in 10 fights it’s a case
of low risk high reward fight’s for the man from china in a bid to put the icing
on the cake of a boxing career which many dream of his boxing decorations seem
endless but as we know the professional game isn’t as clear cut for many
talented amateur boxer’s, in this fight I expect more high viewing figures
& a zou shiming points victory, the journey has begun it’s now in the hand
of time.
