Is Hopkins ready to be picked by Eastman?

[Dro MACHATERO]

the fight will be more entertaining than Hops fighting DLH but it will be the same result KO victory for the Hopkins

Hopkins wants that #20 so bad he will KO Eastman. Eastman will be stopped in 10 rounds.

Who has Eastman fought? A bunch of bums (including Joppy, his only loss). I can't find anyone respectable on his ressume. I'm favoring Hopkins on this one guys.

My money is on B-Hop, but I'll be rooting for Eastman..

Really going out on a limb there, eh? I don't care about records... Hopkins has been denied so many times this is his chance to show his potential. Part of the reason that he hasn't fought many names is those same names haven't wanted a risky bout. Props to Bernard for taking it.

I've seen two Eastman fights. He's strong, but not that quick. His chin is solid, but he's there to be hit. He puts hurt on his opponents in the late rounds, but is a slow starter (from the two fights I saw).

Hopkins won't have too much trouble picking him apart.

And yeah, while an argument can be made that he beat Joppy, it was nowhere near a robbery. Joppy won at least five of the first six rounds, and a two or three of the last six were close.

How old is eastman? He looks like he's about 45.

[xrhythmxnxbluesx]

eastman is 35... and hop is 40.... but iono think age will play any role in this... cuz they are both pretty old... in my eyes... but i will say hopkins will win by decision....

Eastman has got the skill and talent and he is a legitimate challenge, but I've seen him several times since the Joppy fight and he didn't impress me like I expected he would. But that said, he isn't the type to destroy all in his path - he normally spends a while feeling out his opponents, then fights at the level necessary to win the fight. He won't be able to try that against Nard because if he's down on the cards and chasing a KO he'll get picked apart. He has to take the fight to Hopkins and fight for every round.

He should be able to make it competitive, maybe even close on the cards but ultimately it'll be a points win for Hopkins imo.
