McDermott is the betting favorite over Elcock.
I can't find a fight with him, he hasn't fought anybody.
Why is he the favorite?

Sprott is fighting Bidenko at the end of May. I thought Sprott had retired. Is he coming to fight or is this just one last payday?

Freiheit is full of shit, all the time defending the corrupt German boxing scene. I believe he is part of Sauerland’s organisation. I’ve learned not to trust anything he writes.

People who are enlightened, who has a soul, they understand, and appreciate, the Battersea Bomber, Eastman. Where I come from, Eastman is the guru in the ring, the master of boxing. We don't care what the judges say. Every Howard Eastman performance is a work of art. I met him once, in Germany. I ma...

Sam Soliman?

Come on, Abraham has defence, something we all knew Lacy lacked.

I would like to see big brother battersea bomber Howard Eastman fight Gary Lockett.
"Revenge of the brother!", like Vitali and Wlad used to do it...

Masoe vs Sturm under 11,5 rounds gives 2,46. I think that is good. Masoe has only gone the distance once, back in 1998, since then his fights has not gone past 6 rounds. He is now like 40 years old, I don't see him last 11,5. And betting under 11,5 still gives you the possibility to watch the fight ...

For those who don't get Eastman there's Gatti v Ward?? What you mean 2 fighters who actually try and win?? Also Gatti is a far better boxer than Howard and can throw combinations smoothly. I like Eastman and he's a tough guy, but a average, lethargic boxer. Give me Gatti v Ward any day Oh that's wh...

Hellephant - You said that you met Eastman in Germany before the Abraham fight and he was complaining that he was hungry - do you know if he ever ate before the fight? It seems unbelievable that things like this happen - but I am sure that we're all human and it does! The second time I saw him and ...

I have all fights with Eastman, except that one. you poor poor poor soul. did someone throw them through you letterbox or something? or just a cure for insomnia :lol: Nah, I'm collecting Howard Eastman fights. If you really understand boxing, then Howard Eastman is your number one pugilist. For tho...

I have all fights with Eastman, except that one.

I'm starting to doubt this fight will ever happen. This kid, Miranda, is just a kid. He's fought nothing but garbage. I just saw Miranda do 12 rounds with a really poor opponent called Varela, and this fight was in June 2005. Miranda has talent, but he is very raw, and he is so untested it's unbelie...

where is this game?

"In 2003 he fought Howard Eastman for the European, British and Commonwealth Titles, although Scott dropped Eastman in the 1st he went on to lose the contest in the 3rd." :roll: In the 1st round, Dann did definatly shake up Eastman with a couple of punches, i think that Eastman just glanc...

I believe that is true

That is too bad, braking the rules is standard.

In Nürnberg, august this year, Sauerland had an event where Cristian Sanavia got robbed, big time, against Haussler. The rest of the fights on this card where close (Abraham/Eastman, Tsypko/Magee, Hakkar/Sylveseter, Sipos/Canclaux), but all of them fights where won by Sauerlands fighters. I sat &qu...

IMO it has been a long time since I have seen a robbery on a Sauerland card In Nürnberg, august this year, Sauerland had an event where Cristian Sanavia got robbed, big time, against Haussler.

When Matt Zegan lost, due to a horrible decision, to Artur Grigorian, I swore to God that I would never again watch a fight promoted by Universum or Sauerland. I did not keep that promise, I've seen lots of fights, and lots of horrible decisions since then. Today I witnessed another one, Sprott vs V...
