Groves beats Cox and sets up Eubank Jr. clash PhilBoxing.com Sun, 15 Oct 2017  WBA super champion George Groves defeated fellow countryman Jamie Cox in the Ali Trophy quarter-final with a fourth-round knockout and paved the way for a British superfight semi-final with Chris Eubank Jr. Groves ended Cox's unbeaten record as he delivered a stunning right hook body shot to floor Cox. The Londoner will face Eubank Jr, who watched on in London, in January's semi-final. "I was landing big body shots on Jamie, in the end it was a right hook to the body, it's a crippling shot - I don't blame him for not getting up,? said Groves now looking forward to fighting Eubank Jr. ?Eubank has improved over the years but he hasn't boxed anyone on my level. I know if I boxed like I did tonight, he doesn't stand a chance." Cox worked furiously and fought with intensity from the first bell, but in the end he could not handle Groves? greater power. ?He placed the shot greatly and he?s a very good champion. He prepared well, I made a mistake and he made me pay. It was a great fight until then,? said Cox.
