I like this fight and actually don't care who wins. I suppose Fielding coming back and stopping Cox would be a good storyline. I wrote Fielding off against Brophy, and he was devastating. I thought Fielding looked lost and was getting pasted by Ryder. He seemed to have lost the hunger IMO. 1 win later and his outlook looks decent. I think the winner would deserve a crack at the higher level (again for Cox). Does anyone have interest in this fight?
That's a good fight but fielding has major flaws like when he always retreats to the ropes and always leaves his chins out there to be hit and if rabrasse can hurt and knock him down and Ryder even hurt him then Cox his gonna bully and beat him up as long as doesn't gas
Good fight, I'd imagine Cox will have too much and will get to Rocky Fielding eventually but a really good fight.
I think it’s a great fight. I think if Rocky wins he deserves a shot at someone like Zeuge or if Degale regains his belt then I think that would be a good domestic clash.
He’s just been beat by Truax! Even if he reclaims I’d say he needs a rocky Fielding before he steps up and then fights one of the losing semi finalists of the WBSS.
He needs to fight Truax again and quickly. Getting thrown into the domestic mire wont help his career going forward although I think the Jack fight took anything he had left.
Would fancy fielding never been really sold on cox small at weight aswell. As for degale agree above think jack fight took a lot out can see him beat traux rematch and then face groves cash out
I’d love to see this. I think Cox would have the same trouble again (albeit against an opponent a level or two below) with dealing with a natural, strong super middleweight. He really should ply his trade at 160.
I agree it's how I see it. Though If I was Cox I would be watching the video of what Ryder done well against Rocky and copying that as him and Ryder are very similar sizes. Cox v Ryder would have been the match up stylewise I think that would have gelled best though as you say very surprised Cox hasn't went to MW, be a nightmare for most in division. I see Fielding victim David Brophy is moving down to MW, another I always thought would be better suited to the division.
If this and the Price fight happens we might actually have an interesting AJ undercard. Cox is too small, Fielding will knock him out late i'd say. He's game but Fielding is a big super middle. I really like Fielding, he has flaws but one thing I think he definitely has is power. It's a brave step for Cox because it's a hard road back if he loses this.
If Cox loses this I think his done unless he wants to fight at domestic level but am sure he thinks his above that
That's what makes this such a good match up. The loser might never get another chance at the big time, so there's quite a bit at stake for both. Both fighters probably genuinely believe they have the beating of the other (maybe easily too) I wouldn't be surprised either way if it was a one sided beat down. Just a matter of who does the beating!
