Eastman mandatory for Hopkins!

[PRboxingfan]

I doubt that Hopkins will fight him. He'd rather get stripped by the WBC and retain the other two titles (he said he was giving up the WBO to avoid the sanctioning fees) while fighting an easier fighter in Sturm than keep the WBC and possibly lose to Eastman.

My only guess can be my signature. Anyways. Hopkins will stop Eastman, I think.

This isn't a bad match. Eastman will probably provide a more spirited contest than Felix Sturm.

eastman will go down none the less...i mean he didnt take joppy well..and joppy aint all that good(he got made into a ***** by tito and owned-whichi is worst-by hopkins)..so i don think he will take someone of hopkins ability well...

wait does this mean no sturm fight???this better not be a ppv

[bandito]

besides trinidad, eastman is the true middleweight #1 contender!!

Things have gotta be fair, Eastman deserves a shot and if Hopkins ducks him(for whatever reason) i'll be pissed off!!

I know Hopkins is a lot better than Eastman and would probably beat him up but fighters shouldnt be allowed duck manatorys, its bad for the sport!!

I would respect Hopkins for taking the Eastman fight. the same way I respect Mosley for taking the Winky fight when nobody else would give him a chance
