Fight # 4
8 X 3 Minute Rounds Middleweight Contest
JAMIE COX (W KO 1, 2:30) ALISTAIR WARREN
Red hot Jamie Cox said he was going to show that he meant business and he certainly did by blowing away Alistair Warren inside a round. Big-hitting Chris Eubank Jnr. took three rounds to take out Warren, but Swindon ace Cox, who said before the fight that he wanted to break into the top 160lb domestic mix this year with Billy Joe Saunders, Chris Eubank Jnr. and Martin Murray, ripped into Warren to show that he’s approaching that class.

Cox dropped him first with an overhand right, that Warren got up from at the count of eight, Cox then tore into his opponent, mixing hard shots to the head and body that Warren impressively took. Cox then landed a brutal left hook-cum-uppercut that flattened Warren on the canvas.

Afterwards Cox said, “It’s great to be back in action. I said what I was going to do and I delivered. I’ve got a lot of respect for Warren, he’s a tough kid who took Eubank Jnr. three rounds, but I’m 28 now and I’m not holding back on my career. You’re going to see the same from me from now on. I’m not calling out the top boys at the weight yet, but I’m coming up behind them, fast.”

Fight # 6

6 X 3 Minute Rounds Lightweight Contest

JOE COSTELLO (W TKO 1, 1:39) SANDOR HORVATH

Super-talent Joe Costello joined stablemate Jamie Cox with a sensational first round win by smashing Hungary’s Sandor Horvath. The Chelmsley Wood ace was on fire as he destroyed Horvath, dropping his with a hard left hook for an eight count and followed that up with another big left for an eight count, with the referee then stepping in to wave it off.

Costello will be moved up to eight rounds in his next fight and then a potential first title shot. He said, “I felt sharp in there and I took my time, believe it or not. That’s three stoppages in four fights now, two in the first round, I know that I’ve got the power to take them out.

People say I should be getting the rounds in, but I say why should I? I know I can whack and it’s more exciting! I’m looking at moving up to eight rounds next and then it could be a title fight. I love this sport and I’m in it for the glory.”

Fight # 7

8 X 3 Minute Rounds International Super-Featherweight Contest

CRAIG EVANS (W PTS 8, 80-73) JACKEC WYLEZOL

Undefeated Welsh talent Craig Evans cruised to his 14th straight win and looks to challenge for belts in his next fight. Hurting his left hand early in the fight, Evans had to use his jab and skills to outwork his game opponent. He said, “I felt my left hand go around the second or third round and knew I had to use my skills for the rest of the fight to make sure I came away with the win.”

Fight # 8

10 X 3 Minute Rounds Middleweight Contest

TOMMY LANGFORD (W TKO 5, 2:31) WAYNE REED

Jamie Cox wasn’t the only middleweight in action tonight, fast rising prospect Tommy Langford is another exciting talent coming up the 160lb domestic division. The Devon fighter, now based in Birmingham, dropped Reed twice in the fourth round, but was up at the count of eight on both knockdowns, and in the next round Langford went for a ruthless finish. Now unbeaten in twelve fights, Langford is knocking on the door of a title fight this year. “It was an exciting fight and a great finish. Although I did get caught in there a bit, and that doesn’t usually happen to me, I showed some good skills and plenty of heart of firepower. I was especially pleased with my body punching and mixing up with head shots. He was a very tough and game kid and I’m very happy with the performance, but there is still plenty to work on.”
