By Dan Risk: On Friday 9th September 2011, I sat down to watch and interesting light-middleweight encounter between English prospect Jamie Cox (15-0, 9 KO’s) and unbeaten Commonwealth champion Obodai Sai (15-0, 10 KO’s). There is always a sense of excitement when an unknown fighter like Sai comes out of his native country, in this case Ghana, and there is very little known about him.

Jamie Cox vs. Obodai Sai on Friday: Look for an easy KO win for Sai once Cox loses his head and starts slugging
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten junior middleweight (15-0, 9 KO’s) steps it up against Commonwealth light middleweight champion Obodai Sai (15-0, 10 KO’s) in a battle of unbeatens at the Hilton Hotel, Mayfair, London. Cox, 25, has been slow in getting to this stage of his career where he’s finally fighting for a minor title.
Report cards for DeGale, Cox and Liam Walsh
By Sean McDaniel: Overall, there were a couple of good performances last weekend at the Wembley Arena with James DeGale, Frankie Gavin, Jamie Cox, Derek Chisora, Liam Walsh, Nathan Cleverly and Kevin Mitchell all emerging victorious. However, winning is one thing but looking good in doing so is quite another. I thought Mitchell, Walsh, Cleverly and Chisora looked good in beating their dreadfully over-matched opponents.
Mitchell stops Mendoza, Cleverly, Chisora, Cox, DeGale, Gavin, Walsh all win
By Sean McDaniel: 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist James DeGale (6-0, 4 KO’s) put on an impressive punching display tonight in stopping a badly over-matched Matthew Barr (14-6, 6 KO’s) in the 2nd round of a scheduled six round bout at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. DeGale, 24, was putting everything he had in his shots as he bum rushed Barr in the opening round, pelting him with shots and looking for a quick knockout. Barr mostly covered up and did little.
Cox Stops Lloyd, McDermott Defeats Ambler
By Nate Anderson: I learned several things in watching welterweight Jamie Cox (11-0, 7 KOs) defeat former ‘Prizefighter’ Mark Lloyd (12-3, 3 KOs) by an 8th round stoppage on Friday night at the Civic Centre, in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. To start with, I don’t think Cox is nearly ready to fight Kell Brook. Cox, 22, struggled badly with the 33-year-old Lloyd, getting cut on the side of his right eye, receiving a bloody nose and lip for his efforts.
Cox Obliterates Rushton, Wants Fight With Kell Brook
By Jim Dower: Undefeated welterweight prospect Jamie Cox (10-0, 6 KOs) destroyed his hopelessly over-matched journeyman opponent Jason Rushton (18-9, 3 KOs) tonight, taking him out in the 1st round of a scheduled 8-round bout at the Oasis Leisure Centre, Swindon, in Wiltshire. Cox, 22, a former 2006 ABA Light welterweight champion and Gold medalist for England in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, trapped Rushton against the ropes late in the 1st and dropped him with a hard right hand to the head.
