Honest Opinions Please, Who thinks Eastman Has a chance this saturday?

[goodkingbudpuffer]

was just curious, have been reading all the Sky Sports and sporting life articles on the fight and they all seem to think Eastman can take Hopkins. 19 people have spouted the same **** and have been beaten by Hopkins. What exactly makes Eastman any different?

No way in hell eastman is winning
i think only a miracle has to happen in order for Eastman
to win.

I'd say Eastmans chances are slim and none at beating Hopkins, Eastmans a pretty good fighter but hes going to get taken apart by one of the best middleweights to come around in a long while.

Im picking Eastman, I think Bernard is making a mistake and underestimates him. Please people dont come back with "Bull**** Hopkins takes every fight serious and this is the BIG one." Well I have never heard Hopkins trash a fighter the way he is Eastman before a fight. Hopkins always spoke highly of his opponents and says that they posed a threat, HELL Hopkins was even caught quoting that Morrade was a threat before the fight happened. I think Hopkins is underestimating this guy, I dont like the fact that Hopkins who always trains in Miami switched over to California so he can take care of business with Golden Boy Promotions


Hopkins calling Eastman a B-Level fighter, is not Hopkins...Hell you think Hopkins would be like "**** Eastman is the dangerous man out their" since it IS his 20th defense and possibly last fight at Middleweight.

Hopkins opting out of Miami and training in California so he can handle business with GBP

Plus their is always the EA Curse, You know Glen was just a journey man tune-up for Tarver.

Ohh did I mention, Eastman probably has the most durable chin compared to any other fighter Hopkins has faced? To top it off, The man punches like he has cement gloves with anvil hands? Plus the Battersea bomber is coming with Heart.

My money is on Eastman, anyone thinks otherwise check out the betting forum.

Only if Hopkins gets old on that night. In other words not really. Also, Hopkins is a straight up boxer. He relies on his intellect and learned skill, not hand and foot speed which are the primary things to go with age.

I honestly give Eastman a shot. Hopkins is getting old (he is 40 now) and you never know when age will sneak up on you. Eastman has skills and punches hard with both hands so it won't be as easy as people think (I said that of Henry Bruseles and look where that got me, lol).

Eastman has a puncher's chance, just like anyone else, but my money is on Nard. I'd give 5:2 odds on Hopkins if I were a bookie.

I thought eastman had a chance, but Hopkins has just too much experience. Hopkins by KO.

Nice to see some Eastman support here. I've got a real money bet and all my points on him. Truth is, I don't think he will win, but it WILL be competitive, which is more than Hopkins's last half dozen opponents were...

[warped]

There is always the chance for an upset, but it's called an upset because everyone already has an idea of who will win this fight.

Superfight? Nah, superhype.
