Eastman was getting caught with shots that he wouldn't normally and looked tired, but Williams is a class act who was pressing.
I liked the way Howard was initiating clinches so that the shorter-limbed Williams couldn't get off any work... it made for an ugly, boring fight but allowed Howard to steal nearly all the rounds. I had it 108-101 going into the last.
Then in the twelfth Eastman cleverly hangs back as Williams tries for the KO, letting his exhausted opponent spend himself even further. Then just as Williams comes forward one last time... nuff tump on de side of de ead and ting, mon! It all over mon - he spark out, gone sleep mon.
And that's why he's known as The Nuff Tumper.Comment
