For the WBA Super World Super WBA Middleweight Title

---

'Saint' George Groves:

---

The current Super World Super WBA Middleweight champion, and the pride of Hammersmith UK. Groves carries as much of a following as his does the antithesis, he is a polarizing fighter whose share of losses have only come at the highest level. Arguably robbed in his last loss against Badou Jack, Groves has shown to be a dominant middleweight champion who's own mentality is his biggest flaw. Asides from the Froch losses, Groves has shown to be somewhat unbeatable as he can choose to brawl or box at will. The losses at Wembley were especially painful as Groves lost a rematch to Froch, and that loss eliminated him from the global top 10 ever since. Groves has made a determined run as of the past few years, we should see a fired up Georgie for this one!

Jamie Cox:

---

---

The hard hitting and undefeated southpaw represents Swindon with his flawless 24-0 record. Jamie is a big hitter, and although he only has around half of his win rate as finishes, it really seems as though he can finish fights as will...he simply chooses not to. Oddly enough Jamie is the older and more experienced fighter than Groves, he simply has not fought as high tier competition nor has he been given the stage he has now. Cox definitely a talented fighter in his prime, and I give him the power advantage over the somewhat war torn Groves. This will be an exciting phase for Jamie, and a chance to get in the mix with top 10 middleweights worldwide. With an impressive performance, we may see more of this slugger in the future!

Matchup and Prediction:

---

Groves is a nearly 6 to 1 favorite coming into this fight, and although he carries the experience and the title, I would never lay that kind of juice on Georgie. I think Groves is the more talented boxer, and can win this fight 10 out of 10 times if he doesn't let hubris get to him. The thing with this fight is the danger level, and how hard Jamie Cox actually hits. Cox is very talented at hurting opponents and capitalizing points early to secure his wins, with the damage Groves has taken over his illustrious career, I can see a possible career ending ko if Groves underestimates this man at all. I will have to choose 'Saint George' to win this one on points as I think he possesses the cleaner boxing skills, and better movement all around. This will be an interesting matchup, and Groves himself may have to turn it up to dispose of this talented and durable contender.
