I wish boxers would stop saying they're going to win in conferences

Take Howard Eastman, saying he's going in to beat Hopkins. How dare he!

I think it'd be much better if he said "I'm probably going to get the **** knocked out of me so you might as well not bother turning up." That'd sell more tickets, wouldn't it?

Anorak, man. Some of your posts really do make me laugh.

yeah but if he just sat there and acted defeated then how then are people gonna sell tickets? He has to act competitive in the build up or the whole thing is a farce. Let Eastman gloat, if Hopkins batters him, then it only adds to Hopkin's rep!

You do understand irony, right, Kimmy?
