By Jake Donovan - Two-time Olympic Gold medalist Zou Shiming makes his highly anticipated pro debut Saturday evening, when he will face Eleazar Valenzuela at the Venetian Macao.

A pair of title fights highlight the supporting cast; Brian Viloria defends his unified flyweight belts against Juan Francisco Estrada, while Roman 'Rocky' Martinez makes the second defense of his 130 lb. belt against unbeaten Diego Magdaleno.

All three bouts will be televised on HBO2. [Click Here To Read More]

Thought this was supposed to be a big deal. The one time they showed the crowd, it was pretty sparse.

I notice that too, maybe that row was just for the press and the people where up further but still didn't seem that pack and no noise too, I did notice how much Buffer keep hyping up the fight and Zou like no other damn, he only miss saying Zou was a god from all the names he gave Zou

I see they have found a 13 year old kid for Shiming to fight! Should be a great contest!

Hopefully Viloria will win big, he hasn't gotten the credit he deserves in his career.

and Jesus, is it me or is Magdaleno huge for a 130 fighter, he looks like he'll be at the high 140s on fight night

Don't think this Zou experiment will go much of anywhere but I could be wrong.

I'm looking forward to this. Too bad HBO2 didn't make it a four hour telecast so they could show more of the bouts on the card.

Zou looks pretty thick compared to the other dude.

And how long is Magdaleno gonna keep making 130 for? He's a pretty big boy.

If anything, it is Martinez who looks big for 130, not Magdaleno. Martinez looks like Magdaleno would look if Magdaleno went on a starvation diet for a month. At least Magdaleno has flesh on his cheekbones and other parts of his face, unlike Martinez who looks like a skeleton.

I wonder how Viloria feels about being put on the undercard for this sideshow?
