I've answered this, haven't I? Is Joe Frazier pathetic in his first fight with Ali because he couldn't get shots off when Ali held him around the neck? (and I LOVE Ali, but I can't stand it when he does that). -
I dont care about Frazier, or Ali. I asked you what was Eastman if Hopkins was "pathetic"? No you didnt answer that questionOriginally posted by AnorakComment

You can see the analogy I'm making though, surely? Yeah, Eastman wasn't scintillating last night, but I'd hardly call him "pathetic". He was ready to fight, but was taken out of the fight by Bernard's anti-boxing antics... analogous to Ali constantly grabbing Frazier's neck.Originally posted by GodzHandComment

Yup heard that to. Mann I'm telling you this guy could have mixed it with the best of them., He's got the stamina to for 15 round. So calm and cool even by teh tenth round. Eastman was huffing and puffing.Originally posted by SlipxComment

One more win and Hopkins will have shattered a record for title defense. I hope he wins one more.
On his 22nd defense, I hope someone finds a way to take him out. Not many fans want to see the like of Hopkins continue his domination. Case in point: the boos from rounds 1 to 11.Comment

he got outlanded more than 2 to 1. That is a fact even you can't deny with your ridiculous bias statements. So Eastman did better than Hopkins even though he didnt win more than 3 rounds? He was taken out of the fight by being out-landed and outclassed. I'm done with this subject. Your unrelenting bias in favor of your countrymen is a joke. Just like when you wouldnt get off Danny Williams' jock after he got destroyed by Vitaly. I am not wasting my time arguing with this ignorance. Yes, you being unbelievably bias towards your countrymen is a form of ignorance. Peace Anorak. What's up MOOKS! Big up to Hopkins on his DOMINATION of Eastman.Comment

if its domination i dont know wat is.
first haf was close. then hopkins swept the last half
if u were looking for a tactical smart boxing match, this was for u. but if u were looking for a war, don't watch it, IMO.

this time he's one the greatest fighter that conquers all of the belts...time will come, he will meet the fighter to pull him down in his pedestal.but give him a credit of what he achieved.he fought eastman clean and square,no question about it!....i hope he wins one more, it defends upon the one who will fight him...i hope, someday hopkins/trinidad2 would box once again before he retire....Originally posted by nelsoncmComment

Hopkins won smart, everybody knows he takes 3 or 4 rounds to get going, Eastman was frustrated and easily out-boxed.
Hopkins is showing wear and tear though and i really think he should retire this year.
Eastman was a bit of a disappointment to me he would not let his hands go at all very often, oh **** yeh the reason for that was cos when he did land he got hit and when he swiped the air he got hit too, and what did he say about Hops power, if it wasn't all that then why didn't he get stuck in, he did move back when X landed good shots and you don't do that if your opponants power is no good.
Exciting no, very interesting fight yes - overall i liked it
Big up to witter too he came through a hard oneComment

You're right bombshell. I give him credit. I even think I'm fortunate to live in an era of a fighter who has shattered an all time great record.
But somehow, in the back of my mind, I really expected more. Maybe it's my expectation of an executioner who fights to truly execute an opponent rather than outpoint him.
Bernard has all the tools to take out a fighter, even if he doesn't employ those age old antics he has used for years, such as the headbutt and low blows. Sorry but I have always been yearning to see more. Bernard will soon retire and he's still the same boring Nard I've seen in years.
Sigh...Comment
