Gotta admit. I havent seen much of Olai.. What kind of fighter is he and what are his chances against Cox?

I would ask the same question. I'll tell you what tho, Jamie is a class act. He'd do very well to beat him.

He sounds confident enough , and looks at this fight as his chance to get signed up by Warren. He's not your usual come forward Ghanaian, looks to box more and counter, coming on strong in the later rounds. He's a definate test for Cox.

So Olai is more of a boxer, ic.. But Cox has a significant height and reach advantage so unless Olai has an exceptional boxing ability, id imagine it'll be tough for him to outbox the bigger guy..

I guess ill go with Cox..

Cox will be favourite i'm sure, but he's probably 90% at mo, as this is a bit of a short notice job.

Coxy is classy and seriously powerful! He'll do away with this guy inside 6-8 rounds IMO! Brilliant talent is Coxy!!

Cox hits very hard and takes a good shot, he can box off the jab if required, I think a title will fire him up, I can see him stopping Olai early if Olai is overated, prob body shots.

I really like watching Cox (that sounds bad I know), good stylist with a punch, he just needs to keep in control on Saturday, its the first time he's headlined a show.

All the best Jamie& John

I watched Obudai Olai moving about & on the pads at the Peacock today, I was quite impressed TBH. Looked like he put he's shots together very well, feet were good, decent power! should be a stern test for Coxy. My money is still on Jaime but should be a good one methinks!!

Record not as good as it looks, won the title on cuts against a fairly good fighter who he had beat before, most of his other matches poor opposition, I think Jamie should be a higher level, could turn out to be an easy fight, unless Jamie loses his head in there, it's all about winning the belt at this stage, not about knock outs or how good you look. If the fight does get tight Jamie needs to stay focased and see the job through, because one things for sure Africans are usually tough, hungry and strong and he will not want to lose his title. Olai wil have to go through some hard times in the early rounds, he will be looking to take it to the later rounds but for me Jamie should be too powerfull and skilled.
