    YA all who says Hopkins was bad musta be crazy. Hopkins completely outboxed and outsmarted his opponent while not giving a hint that he is 40 years old. Hopkins did just what he was supposed to do, which is beat his opponent in a decisive manner without hurting himself much.

      I voted: It was okay, but I would have preferred him to get more involved.

      How many FOY's has B-Hop been in? I think Morales, Pacquiao and Barrera are warriors...B-Hop is more of a stalker or sniper...silent, but deadly.

      Hopefully B-Hop gives us some MEMORABLE fights before the year is up. I want to actually record a fight that I can watch of his and say DAMN! :O

          it was a boring fight, eastman took it to hi, but he was passive aggressive. hopkins had better ring mastery, and just did what he had to do.

            You know what? I wanted Eastman to score an upset but... Hey, props to Bhop for his 20th successful title defense. He fought the smart battle. I think boxing matches arent always supposed to be a war. It's a chess game. Additional props to BHop for not letting the booing change his battle plan. It takes a good amount of self control to not let the crowd get to you. The Executioner fought an intelligent fight and I didnt know he can still dance around in circles around his opponent at 40. His victory is legit

              I don't see what the big deal is, did anyone really expect Bernard to brawl with Eastman? He used the style that he always uses and it worked. If you want Gatti-Ward watch those type of figthers, Bernard Hopkins is a masterful boxer not a brawler.

                Hopkins wanted defence number 20. Why take a risk? Win anyway you want, Hopkin`s is champ still and for him and his bank balance, thats perfectly fine!

                  I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but does anyone think that **** with the late tape job on Hopkins was intentional? You know, a ploy to try to ice eastman. Maybe **** with his head a little before the fight.
