This is the second ITV PPV in a week that would be 2nd/3rd from the top on a big Matchroom/SKY bill. And these funkers don't even attempt to provide an undercard.
Anyway...
The psychotic dark horse finally gets his chance. Cox looks a bit small at this weight (gold medalist at lightwelter) and will probably go like 99% of super talented nutters - south. There's probably a great chance he gets himself DQ'd here. Groves is a great windup merchant and knows it'll take a tiny tap in the goolies, sneaky little headbut or clip around the back of the head for Cox to go loco.
Having sparred loads of times I expect Groves to show Cox big respect. I doubt he believes it will be an easy blowout (and if sparring stories are true, Cox is P4P) and Cox has always shown a rock solid beard (at a much lower level/weight). Cox certainly ain't the Julian Jackson his mob have been selling him as but it would be a surprise if he didn't have enough crack to bother Groves.
Cox is 5/1 (PP) / 7/1 for the KO (general)
