howard eastman gets his shot?

deserves it, will probably lose a really boring decision Agreed. I think almost every division has a guy like Eastman, someone who gets his title shot by fighting lower-level guys year after year and neve slipping up. at 140 it's Junior Witter. At 200 it's O'Neill Bell. Sam Soliman is another one at 160. They're really interesting guys, cuz they're generally very consistent and they just keep pluggin away, year after year.

yeah people say its going to be easy cuz hes not a well known name, but he could be athreat to the crown, Hop must take him out, and tito doesnt deserve a rematch his skills are garbage compared to Hopkins skills Huh. Something tells me you may be biased... I mean, I agree that Hopkins will win. But you go overboard in your statement.

deserves it, will probably lose a really boring decision

tito knows he wont beat nard thats why he doesnt want to fight him. Why else is nard considering a hjook up with Eastman, use your loaf mate! Tito is shitting himself at the propsect of another beating open your eyes! he will take on winky or mosely not hopkins.

Alot of people have said Tito should be taking a tune-up fight before fighting Mayorga or any other big name. That this fight is risky, but yet when Tito whooped his ass easily it seems everybody is changing their minds about their opinion in the first place. I'm glad that people are hatin on Tito because that just let's me know that he's that damn good. When your good at what you do you are always going to have haters. If Tito ever gets a shot at Hopkins again the outcome will most certaintly be different. He might not knock him out, but he will land more punches the second time around. out of curiosity, WHAT IN THE HECK GIVES YOU THE REASON TO THINK THAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE DIFFERENT?!??

he has very decent power but a criticism of Howard is he likes to nick rounds, you cant afford to do that agianst Nard, he has a great chin like Nard, and hits harder I would say, but Hopkins is relentless, his workrate is key and I cant see howard doing enough to take the rounds. Much asI would liove a new British champ cant see anything other than a wide UD to Nard. But this is boxing....

hop vs eastman=good fight hop vs tito=same will happen just earlier anyway..i never have seen eastman fight but have seen videos and knows he's good...one q...does he have power behind those skills???

mayorga is no where near the level of hopkins.but hopkins has to get old sometime True, but I don't think Hopkins will let himself decline until he achieves his goals. We all know how much RJJ fell in a hurry but the man really had nothing left to fight for, at least at the light heavy level. Hopkins can go purely on motivation, and until he gets his 20th he won't let up. Even then the temptation to take on Tito again and rake in the big cash will probably be enough to keep him going. But still, he'll be getting into his forties soon, and I'm sure he's already planning for the end.

LMFAO!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA tito is now the best cuz he beat mayorga a person who doesnt have power at 160 who drinks and smokes, and also F***S hookers during training, who cant move around the ring just comes straight at you and lets you get free head shots? that fight is so overrated, mayorga got an ass whooping for real, but who said i missed it? did i say anything about that, NO this is about tito's skills compared to Hopkins, which i said before their nothing compared to Hopkins skills, unlike tito Hopkins stopped dlh, tito got a very contreversiol win, which IMO he lost that fight(don king judges likes to agree with don king fighters take a look at brewster - meehan, golota - ruiz/byrd) Alot of people have said Tito should be taking a tune-up fight before fighting Mayorga or any other big name.

Its a big call for Hopkins, to be honest I think he is past his best re fight with Oscar. If I was a betting man I would have a flutter on Eastman.

I'm really happy that Eastman is getting his shot. He's been a model pro all his career and he never talks shit. I give him a decent chance against Nard and he was definitely robbed against Joppy.

yeah everyone had eastman on their scorecards, i hate that feeling when you know the wrong person won, DLH-sturm DLH-modley/tito hmm all connects to dlh :D eastman is a legit middleweight, not even taylor wanted a piece of him, and thats why he backed out of that fight, i know Hopkins wont look past this fight, its going to be a tough fight for both man, but i hope Hopkins pulls out the win

eastman is a good middleweight, the man can fight, i thought that he beat joppy. i thought that he was robbed in that fight. he had joppy down, stunned joppy a few times and was the aggressor. i was rooting for joppy that fight and thought that he was going to lose and when he won, i was like, that was unjust. and eastman has gone undefeated since, even though he hasn't fought the greatest in the division, he's basically cleaned it out up to hopkins. i know taylor is in the mix, but, taylors people don't want to put him in there with eastman, because he would probably lose. eastman has a good chin, better than average skill, and is a work horse.thats why taylor is fighting a more than shot joppy now............this is a tough fight for hopkins, tougher than the first tito fight.....and as for hopkins vs tito 2.....hopkins will ko him again! because he's better, plain and simple........!

LMFAO!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA tito is now the best cuz he beat mayorga a person who doesnt have power at 160 who drinks and smokes, and also F***S hookers during training, who cant move around the ring just comes straight at you and lets you get free head shots? that fight is so overrated, mayorga got an ass whooping for real, but who said i missed it? did i say anything about that, NO this is about tito's skills compared to Hopkins, which i said before their nothing compared to Hopkins skills, unlike tito Hopkins stopped dlh, tito got a very contreversiol win, which IMO he lost that fight(don king judges likes to agree with don king fighters take a look at brewster - meehan, golota - ruiz/byrd) don king is ruining boxing. i actually want to see him killed.

ONLY A BLINDED HOPKINS FAN WOULD SAY THAT YOU MUST HAVE MISSED RICARDO'S ASS WHOOPIN.DON'T EVEN SAY IT'S BECAUSE HE WASN'T A TRUE MIDDLEWEIGHT BECAUSE DLH WASNT EITHER. LMFAO!!!!!!!

only a blinded trinidad fan would say that, you must of missed the first fight since a 36 year old put a beat down on lil ole bitch tito :eek: ONLY A BLINDED HOPKINS FAN WOULD SAY THAT YOU MUST HAVE MISSED RICARDO'S ASS WHOOPIN.DON'T EVEN SAY IT'S BECAUSE HE WASN'T A TRUE MIDDLEWEIGHT BECAUSE DLH WASNT EITHER.

only a blinded trinidad fan would say that, you must of missed the first fight since a 36 year old put a beat down on lil ole bitch tito :eek: if tito knows whats good for him he will not step in the ring with hopkins again. hopkins handed tito his ass on a silver platter the last time.

Hopkins Will Retire After Tito Knocks His Face In.he Will Get Hit More Than The Last Fight And Hopkins Will Go Down In 6. Relax bro, Tito wasn't even close to beating Hopkins. And Tito hitting Hopkins more than the last fight isn't saying much because Tito didn't really land much. I like Tito, but he needs to whoop DLH first to gain some invincibility back to stand a chance with Hopkins. And it will let Bernard age a little bit more.
