Zou could settle down; lift trackters day 'n night 'n it won't help, dw. He has no pop. Never will have. He was in the right place at the right time with amateurs. He's got fast hands 'n feet. For three rounds, he could land enough to win on points.
Only China star so far would definitely have a future. $$$$$$, just going to have to pair him up very carefully.
:deal Roach doesn't have the privilege he did with Manny where time wasn't as crucial. Here, we could be looking at a very short run in the pro ranks. So far, not liking what Shiming is selling.
Of course it would help, if he strengthened his legs and sat down on his punches it would be literally impossible for his power not to improve (The laws of physics would be broken if his power didn't increase). As I said though, at 31 he doesn't have a lot of time to develop and I don't think there are many boxing coaches who are intelligent enough to understand biomechanics and suggest proper strength training, or at least refer them to someone who is credible. When unqualified guys like Conte are considered 'experts' in your sport then you know you have a long way to go.
He's with Roach who seems good at helping maximize his fighter's power. Plus if he teams up with Ariza, he could do decent,
Kung Pao Shiming sucks man. He aint cut out for the pros, trust me. Imagine what Kazuto ioka, Melindo, or Yaegashi would do to him. His punches are wide and has no muster on them. Chinaman punches like a little girl. He's getting knocked out as soon as he faces a live body.
Chinaman doesn't belong in the same sentence with a great fighter like John. JOhn's skills are proven in the pros and his punching power is nothing to laugh at. IT's respectable.
What's that's mean , DZ, that he has the adoration of his countrymen? 'Cause as a boxer, he bears no resemblance to Pac, 'n certainly not the same lightening in his fists.
