Bernard Hopkins - Howard Eastman
Why is no one talking about this fight? Probably two of the the top 5 lbs for lbs fighters right now getting in the ring, certainly the two best fighters in their division... and it is getting no hype at all.
Is anyone watching this fight at all? My call is - Hopkins has been a great champ, but this night is the night he gets old, and Eastman wins with a mid to late JO. Eastman could have easily taken a title a long time ago, but his personality has lead him to make wrong choices, and he hasnt gone after the weak champions... Hopkins could have taken a easier fight which would have more hype... but I respect him for putting it on the line against Eastman... Hopkins is a fighter and he wants to take on the best, not who the US public see's as the best... whatever happens this is gonna be a hell of a fight, between two of the best boxers out there today.
