Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-03-07, some good exchanges between Amnat Ruenroeng and Zou Shiming but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.Both undefeated, the Thai Amnat Ruenroeng entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 14-0-0 (5 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.10 flyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Roman Gonzalez) while his opponent, the 2008 and 2012 Olympic light flyweight gold medalist Zou Shiming, has a professional record of 6-0-0 (1 knockout) and he entered as the No.27 in the same weight class. Both boxers fought three times in 2014: Ruenroeng won the vacant IBF Flw title against Rocky Fuentes (=Fuentes vs Ruenroeng) and then defended the belt with Kazuto Ioka (=Ioka vs Ruenroeng) and McWilliams Arroyo (=Ruenroeng vs Arroyo) while Shiming defeated Yokthong KKP, Luis De la Rosa (=Shiming vs De la Rosa) and Kwanpichit OnesongchaiGym (=Kwanpichit vs Shiming). Ruenroeng vs Shiming is valid for the IBF World flyweight title (Ruenroeng’s third defense), first world title shot for Shiming. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Ruenroeng’s 5″ reach advantage paid off big time.
Keeping Shiming in check most of the fight with his jab.
He also showed the difference between the Ams and Pros.
