Anyone smell an upset??? Not me. I think Eastman will last the course, but be one step behind the whole fight. Eastman is one of the best fighters in Britain. He has height, reach and power. He has to keep Hopkins on the end of his jab and maybe nick a decision. He should let Hopkins feel a few good right-handers early. But the only way I see him winning is if he gets lucky. Hopkins biggest test at this point is his age. If he turns old overnight, which I doubt, then it could be a different story. My prediction is a clear points victory for B-Hop.

Yup 40 years old, 20th defense, been at the top nearly 10 years and hasn't lost in close to 12 years since Roy Jones outpointed him. Not too bad eh??? Gotta be Taylor next though, definitely. Who else is there for Hopkins to fight??? Tito is fighting Winky in May. De La Hoya is Hopkins' promoter and he's moving down to welter anyways. And nobody in their right mind wants to see Hopkins-Robert Allen IV.. LOL!!!
