Zou Shiming vs. Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express: TV Fight Time, Date and Live Stream

The clock is ticking for 33-year-old Chinese flyweight prospect/contender Zou Shiming (5-0, 1 KO). One of the most decorated amateurs in the history of the sport turned professional in 2013. He's gone 5-0 in his brief professional career, and he'll take on his first significant test on Saturday when he faces Thailand's Kwanpichit 13 Rien Express (27-0-2, 12 KO), known also as Kwanpichit OnesongchaiGym, per BoxRec.

The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds, which marks the first time any of Shiming's bouts have been slated to last more than eight frames. 

With an experienced and undefeated opponent set before him, we may be on the verge of finding out what Shiming's ceiling is. Per Daniel Hicks of Yahoo Sports, the winner will receive a title shot.

This fight is the first appetizer on a card from Macao, China, that is being headlined by the WBO welterweight championship bout featuring Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri.

The Book on Rien Express

Anytime you see an undefeated fighter with over 25 professional fights, there's at least some proof he possesses noteworthy skills. After watching Kwanpichit in action, it's easy to see why he's unbeaten. There's actually a surprising amount of Kwanpichit's fights available online, and he's consistent in each of them.

In his most recent bout against Oscar Raknafa in June 2014, Kwanpichit systematically dismantled his opponent and stopped him in the seventh round. You can see that entire fight here.

In his career, Kwanpichit has held the WBO Oriental super flyweight title, and he is the current WBO Oriental flyweight champion.

While Shiming obviously has the more recognizable name, Kwanpichit is not an opponent to take lightly.

There's no doubt Shiming has progressed since he made his pro debut. He looks more confident, less herky-jerky in the ring and he's attempting to sit down on his punches more.

As the primary flag-bearer for Chinese boxing on a world-class level, there's great pressure on Shiming to live up to his lofty expectations. Anything less than a significant world-title reign would be seen as failure for him.

In his last fight, he won an easy unanimous decision over Luis De la Rosa in July. It was his most impressive performance from a pure boxing standpoint. Can he continue the momentum and earn a shot at a world championship?

Prediction

Shiming is 2.5 inches taller than Kwanpichit. How well Shiming is able to use that advantage will be the key to this fight. Kwanpichit is a relentless body puncher who wears down his opponents with a consistent, but controlled attack.

He'll need to be patient and ready to take advantage of any openings Shiming gives him.

Shiming has an excellent jab that he's able to hook off of, and he slides his feet very well. Watch for the Shiming left hook to potentially cause Kwanpichit an issue. The Thai fighter has a tendency to drop his right hand right before and immediately after he throws a power shot with his left.

If the possibility for a KO exists, it'll likely come from this potential occurrence. 

Kwanpichit needs to have this fight take place in close quarters to win. The fighter who is able to control distance will win.

I believe that will be Shiming.

He has the edge in hand speed; couple that with the fact that Kwanpichit is a volume puncher, and it just doesn't seem as if he will be able to touch Shiming enough to outpoint him or to stop him late.

Shiming should win a competitive fight by unanimous decision.
