Is this the next Manny Pacquiao?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flyweight Zou Shiming’s win in a gritty 10-round bout over Colombia’s Luis De La Rosa tonight has boosted the Chinese boxer’s determination to go for a shot at the world title.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zou, who claimed the vacant World Boxing Organisation international flyweight title with the win, fought all rounds of his first ever 10-round match against Colombian veteran De La Rosa, in a show of increasing confidence and competence.<\/p>\n

The bout was evenly matched until Zou discovered some extra aggression against veteran De La Rosa who sustained an injury to his left eyebrow at Macau’s glittering Venetian casino resort.<\/p>\n

The crowd went wild chanting “Go Zou Shiming, go!”<\/strong> as both fighters unleashed punches on each other for the all-out final round.<\/p>\n

But Zou came out on top when the match went to the score cards where all three judges unanimously declared him the winner.<\/p>\n

The victory improved the undefeated 33-year-old’s record to 5-0 with one knockout further allaying his critics following some unconvincing performances after making the leap from amateur bouts.<\/p>\n
