Hopkins vs. Eastman gets serious.

[Solo322]

Hopkins KO 9. Eastman always was, and always will be a punching bag with no defense. He's got a punchers chance, but that's about it.

I've never heard of the guy until now, what's his hope? power? speed? what's he got that hopkins hasn't seen and dominated before?

The opponent most similar to Eastman that Hopkins has faced would probably be Antown Echols, but with less defense. Eastman does have dangerous power and decent offensive skills, but gets hit so much I can't see him getting past the 10th. Eastman should go out guns a blazing in the first 3 or 4 rounds and try to get Hopkins out of there quick as that would be his best shot.

Hopkins KO 9

You high or what? This is the MAN's 20th title defense! He doesn't require anything else to test his commitment!

I'm just saying that this guy likes to do this kind of stuff, I just remember him betting joppy about the knockdown and putting money on the tito fight. To not put a little extra into this fight to raise the stakes, if he can, seems weird of hopkins. that's all

[Solo322]

Why doesn't Tito get his ***** ass into the ring with Hopkins instead of fighting non-title, after non-title fight.

Cause he's still shellshocked from the beating he took last time

Well I'm happy to know that Hop is actually going to have a fight on his hands. God Oscar looks like a douchebag....or a gay cheerleader.

[Silverfox]

Howard is the 'quiet' type anyway, talk means nothing anyway, we'l see what happens come fight night

He'll be quiet alright. Unconcious guys are usually very silent!

it sounds like a good card. i wish i could go and see all the fights. too bad kingsley ikeke wont be telivised because i would like to see more of him. when taylor eventually captures the title he should give ikeke a shot at it. hopkins should give ikeke a fight aswell because it could earn him some cash because both are golden boy and i believe hopkins has some stake in that.
