From BBC Sports:

Hopkins to give Eastman chance

Bernard Hopkins will give Britain's Howard Eastman a crack at his undisputed middleweight crown on 19 February, according to reports.
Eastman is the WBC's mandatory challenger but Hopkins is willing to put all four of his belts on the line against the Londoner, says The Sun.

"Eastman will be a tough fight, although a lot of people are saying it will be an easy option," said Hopkins.

"What I have seen confirms that Eastman is a true world-class middleweight."

So this is the big name opponent Hopkins wants for one of his last few fights???

This is a fight what should have taken place a while ago, but I still favor Hopkins to win..I don't know how, but I think he'll win.

P.S. That's you in your avatar, if so, how tall are you?

5'10" - I'll add it to my signature - the guy I'm hitting is about 160 - football player and wrestler.

Looks like he doesn't want to fight!!!....or can't.
Onto the subject Hopkins wins, Eastman is good though and deserves the shot

I havent seen Eastmen fight, but from what I've heard he seems like a worthy challenger to the title. Hope its a good fight.

i cant wait for this fight. too early to make a prediction but im leaning toward b-hop but like i said before i wouldnt be surprised if eastman wins.

what is Hopkins 40 years old in that fight, Hopkins by UD

Eastman is good but not good enough. Hopkins by decision.
