Zou Shiming vs. Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym: Winner, Scorecard, Twitter Reaction

 Zou Shiming (6-0) won a unanimous decision over Kwanpichit Onesongchaigym (27-1-2), but he took some damage along the eay. By the end of the fight, his left eye was swollen severely, and he appeared to have lost a lot of the bounce he had early in the fight.

In the end, it was landslide on the scorecards. ESPN's Dan Rafael has the specifics:

Not everyone was pleased with his performance.

A height, skill and speed advantage were too much for Onesongchaigym despite fading a bit in the latter rounds.

Shiming hadn't been known as a fighter with a great deal of power thus far in his short professional career. However, in the second round, the former amateur champion show some pop in his punches. He dropped Onesonchaigym twice in the frame.

The Thai fighter would get up each time, but he went back to his corner on wobbly legs.

The domination continued throughout the early portions of the fight. Zou showed an increasing amount of confidence, and he dropped Onesongchaigym for a third time in the sixth round.

A fourth knockdown occurred in the 12th. Despite the knockdowns, Onesongchaigym had his moments. His overhand right found its mark and was the cause for Zou's damaged eye.

Onesongchaigym seemed to be inspired in the eighth round. He landed a few hard shots on Zou, though he wasn't able to put his opponent in any grave danger.

Shiming may have tired late. This was the first time he had gone 12 rounds, and just the second time he had been more than 10. Shiming's punches didn't look as strong, and he seemed to revert back to the version of himself that left many unimpressed in his first few pro fights.

At moments during the fight, it seemed as if Onesongchaigym might actually lose via disqualification. He had two points deducted for low blows, and was also reprimanded for a few other infractions. HBO broadcasters Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman wondered whether Zou would get the stoppage before his opponent would be disqualified.

This was a difficult performance to critique for Zou. Early on he looked like a new fighter who could be a really tough opponent for any flyweight. By the ninth round, his defense had become very penetrable. He ate some shots that elite boxers would normally avoid.

Against a better fighter, he might have been in trouble. As it stands, he'll likely get a title shot sometime soon. We'll find out then if he's really prepared for the challenge.
