hopkins even admited that he's slipping a little in the interview tonight. it was supposed to be a joke but he did seem happier than ive ever seen him, mabye all the money and success lately has slowed him down a little. no dout hopkins IS the ultimae proffessional, i just hope he's on like always. nard by very cautious and careful decision.

Hopkins will ko eastman late maybe round 10.

this is a tough fight for hopkins as well as for eastman, but i see hopkins taking eastman into the deep end and drowning him. serious, he's too smart, too skilled, and overall a better fighter, eastman is a game challenger, but when you look at there past fights, hopkins has fought better fighters then eastman has. hopkins has fought guys with better records and guys who has fought other guys with good records.
the only person eastmans fought is joppy, a guy that has fought on the world level, and hopkins destroyed him......flat out. eastman is a very good fighter, but hopkins is a world beater, there is a huge difference, even if hopkins give a few rounds up, he is going to win clearly. eastman has a good chin, but lets see how he handle the full body , head to toe assault...hopkins 10 rnd tko......20 D's locked down history is made..love him or hate him , it's the way it is.........

I'm sad to say it but Hopkins UD by 3 or 4 rounds probably. The only way I can see Eastman beating him is if he sets a really fast pace for 12 rounds, but that's not really his style and he's no youngster himself....unless Nard has slipped a bit with age, which is hard to tell as he's not been tested for quite a while.

Hopkins will win, but I think it will be a tough fight for him.

Hops by a 3-round UD. Eastman will give better than most people expect, but the result will be the same.

I think hopkins will dominate eastman pretty easy. Hopkins is a level above eastman, i mean hopkins dominated joppy easily while eastman dropped a disputed decision to joppy. i think that if hopkins hasn't slipped he will dominate eastman, and win by easy UD.

Hopkins by very wide decision, or late stoppage.

Hopkins by UD. This has the makings of a twelve round fight.Eastman will always go the distance but Nard is too smart for him.
