Wtf????
Was I on the moon when this was announced, how the hell does El**** get a shot at a world title\/ just for beating a shot Eastman just......wow. Don't get me wrong it's good news to have brits fighting for world titles but how did this happen? fair play to El**** I wish him all the luck in the world but I can't believe it.
I think Abraham is world class though. I find it hard to give him any kind of a chance.

lol, can't get much more neutral than switzerland. El**** looks good sometimes but I never though he'd get past domestic level. I'm excited for him.

yea i do think he'll put up a good show, if he can hang with a banger like eastman he should be alright with abraham but i don't think that'll be enough, is it gonna be on sky or setantaa?

i heard he outboxed eastman, hopkins did also. abraham is a good boxer so the same trick might not work on him

abraham was looking for a voluntary defense! offered many fighters such as gary lockett etc **** money but el**** obviouslys taking the risk of a **** payday!

El**** is a local boxer for me but he is out of his depth here. The Eastman he fought was clearly miles past his best. He got the fight with Abraham due to the fact that Abraham is scared to fight anyone who has a chance to beat him. Good luck to Wayne though, he'll need it.
eastman was still ranked in the top 15 when el**** beat him so i guess he sneaked into their rankings by beating him.
i'd laugh my ass off if this "easy defence" backfired on abraham and we ended up with another british world champion!
