Sorry, but... Hopkins is absolutely pathetic.

[Mike Tyson Jr.]

Mooks... I kind of agree with you. Your point about me taking the shots from Hopkins is a bit daft (I don't think Chris Byrd hits all that hard but I wouldn't like him to smash me in the face to prove otherwise), but generally you're accurate for, as I see it, 60% of the bout. But I still maintain it was an ungainly and inconclusive way to win your 20th defence. Yeah, he beat Eastman in a boxing match, but not in a fight. They may be hard shots, but Howard can take nuff tump as well as dish it.

MTJr. - to be childishly petulant, to react in a moody way without thought; like a baby spitting its dummy out of the pram. (See also: Chucked my Teddy)

Godz... as I said, I have to try and hype up the English guys. It's not nice to come on here and read "This Limey is a *** bum" from guys who don't even know them. I was disgusted at the lack of respect shown to Eastman. Did you see the jeering faces in the crowd when he was having a prayer? What respect is that for the man's religion?

Besides, all I'm saying, win or lose... Eastman wanted to make a bout of it. He was ready for Nuff Tump.

I forgot your from England.
Thats why I never heard that
spat my dummy befor. You guys
talk difrent over there.

hahahahahahahahaha this was a class thread i laft all the way throught it thanx for the entertainment

im watching the fight tonight so i,ll decidefor my self but i do prefer to see fighter make a match of it and peopleare being far todisrespectfulto eastman he went the distance with a hall of fammer that knocked out oscar de la hoya and wasnt even hurt yet ppl are calling him **** i dont think hopkins will gave him another chance he to old and i think if the did meet again eastman would be ableto do sum damage in knowing what to expect

[m00ks]

Only said my point about you fighting Hopkins is cuz you said they were little nudges. You can take nudges can't you? lol

No knacking on Eastman, but if someone's gonna criticize b-hop, I'm with Godzhand, might as well criticize Eastman. I don't know what would have mad e you think Bernard Hopkins was gonna fight Eastman in a war but you shouln't have expected it. When was the last time you saw Hopkins in a war?

He needed to take away Eastman's power and thats to tie him up and work inside or countering and making him miss. Not that B-hop can't take power as he was hit flush a couple of times yet took it and smiled. That's phili-tougness. And it's weak to say he beat him at boxing and not in a fight lol Eastman wasn't even able to make it a fight. It's boxing, that's the sport. Eastman got beat because he was outclassed, period. He would have loss, boxing or fighting B-hop just did it his way. Safely but surely and look who got the W.

Nice one

Of course, there are probably people who think DLH was competitive, rather than just having it ripped out of him by Hopkins. (Another English expression - having the piss ripped out of you).


So as Howard didn't get a beating like Joppy got, wasn't he a better opponent than Joppy? And as he didn't get KOed like DLH or Tito, wasn't he more of a challenge to Hopkins than either of them? I didn't see Bernard piss in his pants and get on his bike against Oscar's pitter-pats.

He DID get the win, I'm not dis*****g that. Just not in a way befitting a hall of famer.

As for Hop winning a war - are you sure? Eastman took some flush shots and didn't blink... but I relished that moment early in the eleventh when Hops didn't like the power.

Eastman may have wanted to make a fight of it, but he didnt. He couldnt. He was outclassed. Why can't you say that? He was outclassed by a greater fighter. You wouldnt give half a **** about the crowd jeering when he was praying if he was american. I think I'm done responding to your comments. Simply because you are unrelentlessly bias in favor of your countrymen. The facts are Hopkins outlanded Eastman more than 2 to 1. You dont do that by running. If Hopkins was "pathetic" as you called him, what was Eastman? Considering he was outlanded more than two to one. Rather than complain about him being boo'd during his prayer, why dont you tell me what Eastman was last night compared to Hopkins? Tell me. You say Hopkins was pathetic, fine. Then what was Eastman?

He won his 20th the way he won the first 19. His way. Executing things his way is what made him a hall of famer.

Eastman was outclassed. War or not, Hopkins would have imposed his will.

the look on eastman's face after round one = priceless. he knew he was ****ed.

and when b-hop when back to his corner did any of you hear what he said?

"Ray Robinson, 20th defense baby" he knew he had eastman beat and only landed three punches. words from a great.
