Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
Would be amazing if they do hit that estimated figure. Can't see past a Shiming win, but hopefully it'll lead to a showdown with Ioka...

Nice win for Kimura! This pretty much stamps Shiming as a bust as a Professional Career goes. He's won a title, but much more was expected of him, and it doesn't look like there's gonna be much more.Naandrew wrote:Kimura won 11th round ko.

He got a vacant belt against a nobody he beat handily not so long before and lost handily to the only world class fighter he fought.gilgamesh wrote:Nice win for Kimura!

Hope Shimura fights one of his compatriots in a unification during NYE.

Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
Kimura fought with bad intent through out, Shiming seemed to tweak his leg slipping in his own corner a few rounds before the end. Kimura was one determined sob, great performance

Samurai culture.

Nothing immediately comes to mind of something like that no, and I've seen many a Japanese fighter.boxing_rocks wrote:Samurai culture.

Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
I've probably seen more Kimura fights than most (Scabbers might beat me here) and never expected him to stop Shiming

Shiming is the poster boy for guys who stayed WAY too long in the amateurs.
Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
I'm sure he had lots of incentive to keep competing as an Amateur, he may have actually made more being a Gold Medalist than he would've as a pro. Communist countries really seem to value the amateur system a lot more.Best Coast wrote:Yeah, 36. Total bust as a pro!!KiwiRider wrote:I think he is 36. Punpong (?)

Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
He is to China as AJ is to Great Britan, maybe more. And his missus aint half bad either.
If his career ends now it still looks pretty impressive am and pro. Sure he may finish on 9-2 but he did get a belt and led a forward surge in his country for professional boxing. And that may be telling in the future because there are quite a few Chinese people ( a lot of men) and a lot of money. So good for us boxing fans too.

Re: Shiming vs. Kimura
China really resisted allowing boxers to turn pro until recently. The only thing successful about Shiming's disappointing pro career is that he will hopefully be a pioneer who opened the door for other Chinese boxers to turn pro.gilgamesh wrote:I'm sure he had lots of incentive to keep competing as an Amateur, he may have actually made more being a Gold Medalist than he would've as a pro.

Shiming looked like he had no gameplan at all. Just having his hands low winging shots.
Kimura isn't that good technically but at least it was clear he had the gameplan to work shimings body from the off.
I hope he can fight one of the other champions at NYE.
