I like how you can only leave a pre written message

Still a good idea...however i doubt Howard will enjoy reading through them all before the fight as suggested

:P

Come on, Bernard!

I'm afraid Eastman's out of his depth here.

He may well be but he will stil be the hardest fight Hopkins has had in a while. Should be a good contest even if Hopkins is too good.

Anyone hear Eastman on 5 live tonight? I must admit he does get on my tits. He ended up twisting the conversation to the point where he was saying he is not 'underestimating' Hopkins!

There where similar statements prior to Joppy, he needs a reality check, this was more than a boxers bravado, he's in cloud cuckoo land.

It will become evident in the first round that Eastman isn't winning anything....

I still maintain that DLH did remarkaly well vs Hopkins, Trinidad was never winning the fight with Hopkins and I take my hat of to "chicken" DLH (as some posters on various forums still call him). He tried to fight Hopkins.

I honestly don't think the Eastman vs Hopkins fight will be as competitive (unless Hopkins goes old over night, but I don't see it).

Basically that he doesn't really rate Hopkins. Keep an eye on the 5 live website, you may be able to download it.

I think he's trying to convince himself if he doesn't rate hopkins.
