Eastman?

[kevvy1979]

Hopkins never hurt Eastman once in their fight.Hopkins had Joppy hurt,Tito hurt,and ODL hurt in their fights.Hopkins is lucky he did not stick around and trade with Eastman or he might of been the one getting hurt.Joppy got caught in the 12th round of his fight with Eastman ,and got knocked down.If it was not for it being the last ten seconds of the round,Eastman would of stopped him.Hopkins won by POINTS in his fight against Eastman only.He did not bring the fight to him,or dominate him by any means.

However Eastman did not bring it to Hopkins like he did to Joppy ,so he is to blame for losing as well.

whats funny is they actually thought he was a contender overseas. just shows you how much of a lesser circuit they have over there.
(No offense, great fighters have come out of it, lennox lewis,klischkos,naz,carpentier)

No one was bigging up Eastman that much, it was more hoping for a way he could win. People over there thought Tito was a contender too and he took a worse beating than Eastman, as have most of the guys Hopkins has beat, so what's that say about the circuit there?

It's ups and downs on the Euro circuit and the middleweights are obviously lacking at the minute just like in the US, Hopkins aside. Europe has had arguably the strongest circuit in some divisions over the last few years like the supermiddles since the early 90's, the cruiserweights over the last 4 or 5 years and a decent few small guys in the late 80's and 90's.

Hopkins isn't much of a draw is he really......quite boring in fact, yeah he's a great fighter, great record, go down in history....not much of an entertainer is he.

my top 20 list takes fighters +5 or -5 lbs into consideration, because it's very feasible for them to drop or add that weight to make the fight. so I include them in the list. it's very closed minded to only make a top 5 middleweight list knowing that a 154 lb'er could easily jump up and take that title if need be.

1. hopkins
2. trinidad
3. mayorga
4. wright
5. castillejo
6. taylor
7. ouma
8. sturm
9. dlh
10. soliman
11. ikeke
12. mosely
13. schenk
14. jantuah
15. vargas
16. forrest
17. EASTMAN

so, yeah I guess he isn't #24 but damn close

200+ punches landed to about 85=Domination. Maybe not spectacular, or particularly exciting, but dominant.

hurting your opponent isn't the true goal of boxing.

the true goal of boxing is to land punches and not get hit, at least it was back under queensbury rules. there were 30 second rounds, the men would fight 100 rounds, with ungloved fists. it was like huge when someone threw a punch.

sure, everyone likes to see a KO, but you are acting like if someone didn't hurt the other fighter he didn't really win. and he HIGHLY DOMINATED EASTMAN..stop acting like a ****** ****.
