      Well, this is probably the most competitive fight Hopkins has had since Jones. We all know how good Eastman is. He can do it all, look what he did to McCracken? How can a fighter that size bend his body that way? Hopkins will know it and i bet he has trained hard. I think this is 12rds war with Eastmans fastastic work rate and iron jaw giving Hopkins hell. As long as Hopkins doesn`t age suddenly, i pick him to nick a close pts dec based on his experience and heart. And i garantee if Eastman is hit by a decent body shot, he won`t quit!

        That whole upset thing was so last year...let it go..
        Hopkins by TKO in 10

                  I've seen loads of Eastman fights and he is one tough nut to crack. If B-hop does'nt get KOed, it's going to go the full 12 rounds. Then i would take Hopkins by S/D.

                    there are alot of crazy people on this site, hopkins hasnt lost in 12 years, the guy is always, always 100percent prepared and in shape, he has willpower and discipline unmatched by any other fighter, he will pick eastman apart and destroy him, if eastman is so good why hasnt he stepped up before? he fought one quality middleweight in a shot william joppy after tito killed him, come on, you really think hopkins would take this fight for short money if he thought eastman had a chance? no, cause if he lost theres no trinidad 2, theres no johnson or tarver fight or anything, hopkins by spectacular 10th round kayo

                      No, that is too hard to imagine! Not impossible, not at all...just weird! Eastman may be a deserving PERSON (I have only heard good things about the type of man he is) but as a fighter Nard is just so much more talented that I would have to go with him on this one. Eastman is one of those that is good for an upset (if I remember correctly) but alot is on the line for Hopkins with this big 20 and all, so he'd be blowing it BIG TIME if he didnt take Eastman serious...deadly serious at that...just my opinion, though I'm not exactly a big Hopking fan, but for his age and everything, I'd like to see him win this defense..its an important 'career' statement, especailly cause of his age. (How I hope that makes sense )
