IBF flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng?s Thai promoter Jimmy Chaichotchuang has praised well-known trainer/manager Aljoe Jaro and his brother Francisco Jaro for ?doing a great job? in helping Ruenroeng retain his title with a comfortable unanimous decision over the heavily hyped Zou Shiming of China in Macau last Saturday.
Chaichotchuang said ?it was a great fight even though the result upset China boxing fans they still cheered Amnat after the fight.?
Amnat said he wants to ?unify the championship and make more boxing history? raising questions about the mandatory defense against former IBF light flyweight champion Johnreil Casimero who had earlier stepped aside so Zou Shiming could face Ruenroeng for the title.
Well known Filipino promoter Sammy Gello-ani who partners with international promoter and matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz told the New Standard/Viva Sports that he would love to have Casimero face Ruenroeng in Manila but would need the full support of a television network to make it happen.
Aljoe Jaro said he believes Casimero ?nay have to fight Amnat in Thailand? although nothing is certain at the moment.
Jaro said that he was ?very confident Amnat would win on Saturday because its easy to beat Zou Shiming. They couldn?t solve the problem of how to beat Amnat but for me it was easy how to outbox Zou Shiming and win easy.?
Arum plans a comeback fight for Zou Shiming on July 18 in Macau. The astute Topm Rank promoter was quoted in a story by the Hong Kong Standard in which he said ?Shiming knows that all great fighters suffer a loss? while the two-time Chinese Olympic gold medalist remarked the defeat ?is part of life. This is the beginning of a new journey who plans to take a couple of weeks off and spend time with his family before ?getting back on it.?
