    Very interesting fight, will tune in

    Fancy Fielding to stop Cox, everytime I see Cox fight he looks worse and worse.

    It's close to 50/50 though and could go either way. Cox would be average sized @ 160 and Fielding is huge. Size plays a big factor in this fight, Cox aggressive style is a big issue for Fielding but Cox lack of strength and power mean he won't take advantage. Cox seems to lose steam on his punches after 5 rounds, if he doesn't get Fielding out early he will get stopped and that's what I see happening.

    Predictions?

    Cox KO. Fielding was hurt by john ryder, same sort of come forward fighter. Cox hasn't looked great in last two but before that, he was ruthless, take a look and compare the duration his opponents took other top fighters. fielding takes a lot off to make weight, and wont have speed to move away and keep a high guard how lewis taylor did.

    From the comments under that tweet Cox is a sure thing!
    People rate the bloke like some kind of huge punching killer, he's Fancied to beat Rocky in a couple of rounds.

    Why do people love Cox and rave about him when he's an utter knob?

    He talks himself up like he's a king and anybody who punches back has their way with him.
    He's not actually good to watch either, he's like a pub brawler that gets worse and worse as a fight progresses and then he has to resort to despicable tactics to stop getting bashed.

    Why is he universally loved and yet ever since Eubank Jr laced his gloves he's had a pack of haters?
    Tbh honest I think Jr has a lot more fans than haters but the haters make 100x more noise then the fans do.

    And it seems like people who call themselves hardcore boxing fans are the loudest haters of them all.

    Jr would punch the life out of Cox and I'd love to see that mismatch.

    I personaly think rocky is euro lvl on a good day. Itd have to be a weak opp tho.
    Cox im not so sure about. I remember him fighting Sai and he clearly lost. I know he stopped Burt Warren in 2015 but burt aint nothing more than area lvl gatekeeper/ journeyman.
    Since Sai theres been nothing to suggest hes going to go to the levels the hype would have us beleive and like i say, he clearly lost to Sai, which was robbery of the year.
    Interesting fight in terms of seeing who wants this more.

    That's a good domestic fight. I don't really rate Cox at all although Fielding's whiskers are questionable. I'll back Rocky here but I think he'll hit the deck at some point

    Fielding has a Glass Jaw so I'm expecting Cox to stop him if he has any aspirations above British level.

    Eubank vs Cox is basically mediocrity vs mediocrity

    Not seen much of Cox tbh but based on what I have seen I would fancy Ricky to beat him. Everyone talks Cox up and if he's half as good as best people say he will win but I can only predict it on what I have seen

    What's the statement that Fielding has a glass jaw based on?

    Pls tell me it's not on his Only loss, to world class puncher Cal Smith?

    As for the fight itself, I see Fielding taking Cox out in 4/5rds. cox is simply too wild & leaves himself open - Rocky is renowned for finding shots the opponent doesn't see & putting them away.

    Fair play to both, Cox has talked a good game an awful long time!

    How can a featherfisted, mediocre bum that isn't good enough to tie BJS's shoe laces be a 1/5-1/6 favourite over King Arthur? it doesn't make sense to me?

    I wouldn't say fielding is glass jawed by any means - but can look a bit clueless sometimes when on back foot. I think he's got enough In arsenal to beat cox !!
