JAMIE BRINGS HOME COMMONWEALTH TITLE Jamie Cox v’s Obodai Sia 12 Rounds Light-Middleweight Friday 9 September 2011 at Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London. Swindon’s Jamie Cox claimed the Commonwealth light-middleweight title with a unanimous points win over Gahnaian champion Obodai Sai . Sia and his team hotly disputed the victory after Jamie had two points deducted for low blows. But even with this Jamie still won the fight clearly on points 114-113 114-112 115-113 . Jamie had started the fight with a blistering pace and had Sai on the ropes early on. The Cox team had identified that Sai was open for shots to the body and exploited this throughout the fight. Unfortunately Jamie picked up a cut to the left eye in the second and again to the right in the sixth. This was the first time to 12 rounds for Jamie and although the pace dropped a little in the ninth and tenth, Jamie was back on his toes and the action didn't stop until the final bell. Jamie said after the fight: “To be honest, I thought I hit him on the belt. I thought he was making excuses when I hit him on the body. “I saw him on video and he doesn’t like getting hit on the body, so we worked on that. “No excuses - I won the fight and I’ll fight anyone. If he wants to go again, we’ll go again.” The victory now takes Jamie's professional record to 16-0-9 |

WIN NO 15 FOR JAMIE COX Jamie Cox v's Marcus Portman Saturday 21st MAY 2011 'THIS IS IT' 8 Rounds Light-Middleweight Contest at the 02 Arena, London. Jamie made an impressive return after almost 15 months out of the ring. Starting on the front foot Jamie's pressure in the first and second round saw his opponent retreat to the ropes with little in reply. An early result looked likely but Portman always had a punchers chance. In the third Jamie stepped up the pressure and the referee had no option but to stop the fight. Jamie said: “There was a lot of built up tension after 15 months out of the ring. I had to prepare properly for the fight as Portman is a great boxer. It was the referee's job to to what he had to and stop the fight. I'd like to thank the fans that travelled from Donegal and Swindon for their support.” |
