eastman vs hopkins

[K-Yo]

i see eastman giving him problems. eastman got a solid chin, and a lot of power, but hopkins will probably win by a ud.

I wouldnt be suprised if Nard KO's him, infact i think there is a very good chance.

Eastman shouldnt be an easy night though, what he lacks in skill he makes up for in heart.

i think your underrating eastman. hes got a solid chin, and hes a skillled fighter. hopkins aint no knockout specalist, so i dont see him koing eastman. eastman could even suprise a few people. in the joppy fight, after he started believing he could win, in the later rounds he was rocking joppy.


i would infact put money on eastman winning. hopkins is an old man who fights blown up featherweights

I never seen an eastman fight, so I don't know a thing about him. What is he like?

[K-Yo]

hes got a solid chin. hes got a lot of power, and can mix it up. hes pretty good technically. hes beaten cherifi who was a decent fighter. in his last fight he outboxed a light heavyweight, who was a lot bigger and stronger than him. hes got a 40-1 record with 34 kos. hes only lost to joppy on points.

hes been nuilding up his confidence after the joppy loss, and has been calling out hopkins for years.

I'm not underating Eastman, i watch a lot of his fights and to be honest he isnt the most skillful fighter in the world! He's got skills but his success IMO is mainly from his chin, power and heart.

He could shock Hokpins but i'd say that Nards style can deal with Eastman, Nard can punch and there is a good chance of him KOing Eastman. The reason i think there is a good chance is because Eastman will need to take chances to beat Hopkins, He cant go there and expect any favours, Hopkins has the power and skills to catch Eastman coming forward.

Maybe Eastman will beat Hopkins, i know Eastmans a mandatory for a good reason but i personally think Eastman is in for an up hill struggle.

I'd bet you but i know you would better much better odds at the bookies, infact you will get great odds on an Eastman win. maybe i'll bet you points. 10k??

id go as far to say eastman got more power than hopkins, although hopkins is obviously the better all rounder. hopkins couldnt take out joppy, so i dont see him knocking out eastman. eastmans an awkward fighter. lets not forget that hopkins is almost 40, and hes bound to start slippin. hes had his era defining fight against oscar, and and like jones who sealed his legacy with the win over ruiz, is bound to start slippin now.

People have been saying he slippin for years, i'm sure he will one day but i'm not going to make a prediction because a lot have people have made to look silly for doubting Hopkins.

I'm unsure who's the bigger punhcer but i'm sure we will find out soon.
