I don't know how Hopkins continues to do it. If he would have followed the path many wanted him to take (but he held to his convictions, which is refreshing in boxing) he would be one of the top 3 boxers ever. I don't know much about Eastman, but it would be a shock to see Hopkins lose, especially by KO.

Eastman is a pretty good fighter he's got power and will really put the pressure on Hopkins but Hopkins dismantled a fighter with more power an who at least tried to put sum pressure on him named Tito Trinidad...the only way i think Eastman has a chance is if Hopkins is bothered by his height and reach because they will be more or less similiar,that may catch Hopkins off guard after fighting smaller fighters the last little while...but still c'mon....Hopkins wont be denied 20 straight title defenses

i sense an upset here .. eastman takes hopkins to the limits, and wins by a decision ruling, after judges clearly mark him having the edge over hopkins in rounds 4-8 .. just my opinion ..
and then there will be this talk about how hopkins got screwed over by the judges and everything .. blah blah blah ... how the judges scored the rounds wrong ... blah blah blah ... that's probably what is going to happen ..

Hopkins dominates again. Eastman can take a punch, but I don't know what everyone else sees in him, he's terrible with the jab. Landed 13% I think.

what a great boxing match .. closer than people thought .. eastman put up a good fight, but hopkins was smarter, faster, and a little bit tougher ..

Well Eastman had a chance to win, but he was too passive in the final rounds IMO...Hopkins was fighting like a real champion, he knew when to punch and when to go to defense...Well deserved win for him.
