Sorry, but... Hopkins is absolutely pathetic.

[Guest]

You have lost your credibility by proving your amazingly blind faith in every English fighter scheduled in a high profile bout. So, is Ricky Hatton going to K.O. Big KT in 5 rounds just like Eastman said he was going to do to Hopkins? Eastman doesnt deserve a title shot and he doesnt deserve to have fans that think he can go from fighting nobodies to challenging the Pound of Pound best fighter in the world. It would be laughable if it wasnt so "Pathetic". Agree, because you know it's true my english friend.

No, I reckon the guy's the most legit opponent that Hopkins has faced recently. I know people will say DLH or whoever, but Eastman was a natural at the weight.

Eastman's CV isn't that great, but, like Witter (what did you make of him tonight, btw?) he hasn't been given the chances. Plus, he's been mandatory challenger for what, two years or something like that? I think that gives him a right.

As for Hatton, no, Tsyzu will beat him.

just because hopkins gave a tactical beating to eastman dont make him suck, he's smart, he dont brawl, and he's 40 dammit, u expectin a 40 year old to trade shots with a big puncher?
wat happened to Eastman gonna ko hopkins in less than 6 rounds
That's what makes hopkins so special, his unique style and tactics of winning.(Marvelous Marvin Hagler was moree exciting, but Hopkins is still #1 p4p)

There was definite running in some of the rounds. I mean, even if he'd just fought a bit would have been nice.

Oh - the quote in your sig. Is it real?

lol

Dude, Slipx, if you try to compare Hops handspeed with Roy's in his prime one more time, I will never respond or respect anything you ever say again. That means I'll be joining a long list of people who are already in that club I guess...lol.

like who? anorak?

and hopkins lead left hook is as fast as roy's in his prime, and his timing is better than roy's..sorry son, but it's true.


ps- i could really care less about e-respect, and knowing that you do, i have sympathy for you, really i do.

Um, even when Hopkins wasn't "running", Eastman just stood there waiting for an opportunity to throw a big counter uppercut that never came. Meanwhile he got smacked with left hooks all night. Why aren't you lambasting your boy Eastman for being "pathetic"? Why doesn't share any of the blame for making it a 'boring' fight? If Hopkins was so pathetic, what was Eastman scared of?

And yes, he got dominated. Landed like 10% of his punches while Hopkins landed about half of his.

you guys are answering your own damned comments

"if Hopkins would have traded, he would have gotten hurt"

Hopkins didn't get to 20 defenses by not being a smart fighter...he knows he is 40 years old and he knows his standing in the Boxing world...his place in history...he knew to fight tenative vs Allen in their third fight because a MAJOR money DLH fight was on the line...he knew to fight tenatively vs DLH because he was not about to make the same mistake Hagler did and Hops began to adjust...he knew not to be ****** and try to get Eastman out of there in round 1...

Can the man get ANY credit? he has no reason to put extra wear and tear on his body at 40 years of age especially when he can beat you by dancing and jabbing...

it is like some of you question Hopkins' ability to fight...if you question that...then you need to watch some more Hopkins fights especially in the middle part of his career...the man is an animal and can fight...but he is at the TOP TOP level of the sport right now and can't afford to be ******...

I enjoy watching him masterfully break down opponents...Hopkins said it himself..."I am not a big puncher...I am a soft puncher"...why would he go bumrush a fighter at the risk of being KOed especially with this much on the line (all 4 titles and the first time all 4 have been put on the line in history, his 20th defense, etc)

the man is great...get used to it or get over it...

i think it was one of the best fights ive seen this past year. B-HOp showed him hes unstoppable, i didnt know he was that fast with his hands and body movement.

u must be talkin bout 05
cuz there havent been many fights
but if ur talkin 04
ur ***in insane
JMM-Pac, MAB-Morales, Trinidad-Mayorga just to name the big ones
u must not watch a lot of boxing

[oldgringo]

Dogg, it sounds like Hop soundly beat Eastman like he does every other ****er that stepd up to him. I haven't seen the fight but I'm hammered so I read what happened. Good **** by B-Hop for beating Howar...HEY SPINXY....GUESS YOUR OUT A 100 MILLY.

[xrhythmxnxbluesx]

damn mann... lotta hatin goin on over herre... but yea... too me it was a one sided fight for bhop... eastman didnt do much... juss to show you that age wasnt a factor again for b hop...

[nezahualcoyotl]

mmm your iq is not there yet,
but i will do you a favor,
i was saying the Hopkins fights smart
figths and if you say his fights are pathetic,
you should mind as well say Ali's fights where pathetic,
he also fought smart fights.

please stop before you look dumb

ok too late

Ali isn't pathetic you dummy lolz. Damn man! I hate ignorant people like you making assumptions.

"i was saying the Hopkins fights smart figths" - DAMN fool...you cant even write a correct sentence let alone spell. And i'm the one who's dumb. sure buddy what ever you want to believe.

Cant wait until Morales-Pacquiao fight. Those 2 warriors should be making the big bucks and getting all the fame B-Hop is getting. Oh well, Karma is a *****.
