Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Has Very Big Plans in Store For Zou Shiming

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

You can understand the sense of urgency that would come with placing a 31-year old debutant on the fast track to a world title. But Top Rank doesn’t focus on the age so much as the overwhelming talent possessed by Zou Shiming, the three-time Olympic medalist who makes his pro debut Saturday evening in Macau, China.

HBO2 will televise the bout live from Shiming’s homeland as he takes on Eleazor Valenzuela in a four-round bout that serves as the main event on a show that also boasts two major title fights.

“People ask me how you can have a main event that is only four rounds. I tell them, you can have it when the fighter is Zou Shiming,” explained Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum during Thursday’s press conference at The Venetian Macau, where Saturday’s show takes place.

Bob is grooming him to fight Viloria in Macau... and we all know what'll happen there.
It's a shame though.... Viloria is going to murder the man.
Worse than turning Segura into an Alien

Now I believe, arum age is taking its tool! He's making boxing a circus! He cited pointless things to justfy his insanity!

I have no nothing on Zou.....only that recently hearing, he is trying to be hyped as the next action fighter. Is he even decent?

Arum loves tapping into untapped markets and he sees potential in China. Despite the fact this guy is 31 making his pro debut where some other fighters are already retiring at that age or thinking about it.

You can hype up a fighter all you want but them comes the question, how well can he take a shot? Until I see this happen, I will forever stay off the hype trains. Nothing makes a hype train come crashing down faster than a chin check.
