howard eastman gets his shot?

[julDilla]

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!!!!!!! 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)

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........!

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 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

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

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.

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.

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.

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???

[J !]

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....
