Yep. Or he was 31 at the Olympics so I'm just guessing he's now 32. He didn't even win either.

Can't say I'm familiar with this guy but I was gonna ask why Arum is wasting his time with this guy then I thought to myself the same point hougigo brought up.

Arum trying to put Zou in a position to break a world title record.

[southpaw_07]

so he's fighting a guy, Eleazar Valenzuela, who's coming of a draw against a guy with a 1-11 record. I guess Arum set this one up as a KO win for Zou Shiming..

Is this Bob cashing in or cashing out on Shiming? I think the plan is to not make Shiming the star, but to use him to open up the entire chinese market. The guy is 32 in a small weight divison, he's got far less time then anyone else to make a mark.

I, personally, hope this dude lives up to his reputation in the pro game. It would be great for boxing if China embraced the sport with a P4P national champ at the helm.

A little bit too late for a 33yo olympic gold medalist to become a world champion as pro! In a year, he should have just 5 to 7 fights if he would fight every 3 months, and I think he will be still green ro fight a veteran champion like Viloria, Brian will blast him away! I hope he is as good as Rigo if he's following his steps! For the meantime, his debut fight proves nothing agaisnt a boxer with mediocre record considering that he is being groomed for world championship bout next year!

Does this mean Viloria is gonna get a fortune to take a dive?...

..smdh...Idk y that guy is there..viloria needs a trainer that knows what its like in there...

It would be nice to see a Chinese fighter have to work his way up like everyone else but I guess sideshows still sell, reminds me of how fight promoters in the States still try and find that elusive white American heavyweight contender.

Moving him along fast

He's up there in age, might as well get it over with.
