I am sure RW knows how Dangerous Howard can be - but Howard is ready to be taken now - and Howard has been outboxed for long periods by people less skilled than RW.

Im sure Williams knows he doesn't hit like Miranda and will try and box safe and not wake Eastman up. Eastman got jobbed v Miranda IMO & its unfinished business.

Eastman is my man and i know despite all his detractors he's got wins over Soliman, McCracken, Joppy, and Abraham and is too much for a guy like Williams.

Taylors about to move up and the titles will be vacant, Eastman is dangerously close to being in the mix again.

I got ringside tickets too gonna be supporting the Battersea Bomber like all you guys should...

Why support Howard?. Where does he live? - he has not lived in Battersea for 15 years.

Where is the Poster for this fight?.

Williams W12 Howard Eastman.

Well i know f#ck all about Battersea because im from Leeds but Howard fights with that Union Jack emblam on his shorts which is good enough for me. Guy is a stone cold legend.

Why the ill feeling for Eastman i will never know...

Overhand, I'm expecting a full ringside report including behind the scenes banter and exclusive interviews with Eastman and Williams.

Williams wins on points for me, just. It's not a fight I would bet on to be honest.

Eastman is a legend and is one of the few charismatic boxers in the UK at the moment...

Howard may not be a legend, but he's achieved a lot more in his career than Richard Williams.

Howard comes up short against Bernard Hopkins.

Williams come up short against Sergio Martinez.

Spot the difference?

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 made an ass of myself. But then, everybody is dumb, next to the master. Next to Eastman, Howard Eastman, the Battersea Bomber.

Finally, some people speaking sense. Anyways, i'll take a camera. With ringside seats should get some good shots. Is there any way of putting the photos on the forum?

I've used this - they are pretty good.

Looking forward to these pics and this fight!

Do you think that Lockett will have a stab at the winner? Or will the winner be pushing for the European???

KOJOE90 · Post by **KOJOE90** » 06 Dec 2006, 13:51

Unfortunatly I think Lockett may be 'guided' down the WBU route.

Okay i'll get em fired up on that site thanks mate.

Will any boxing names be lingering about ringside do ya think so i can pester them to have their photo taken with me?

Yes, i can tell you one fighter who'll be at the York Hall: Wayne Elcock.

He's going down, as he won an eliminator earlier in the year, to challenge the winner.

Tom Podmore.

Do you know how long they must defend against Elcock? Will it be 180 days?

I am a big Eastman Fan. Just a bigger Williams Fan.

Also Kevin Mcbride beat Tyson.

McCall Knocked out Lennox.

Reputations mean nothing once the bell rings.

50/50 Fight - RW wins on Points..

Wayne reckons its 90 days.

He is having a fight in Brum at the ICC in March then move onto, hopefully, the British title fight in June or July.

What are Waynes thought on this fight?.

overhand_right · Post by **overhand_right** » 07 Dec 2006, 09:59

Can you really see Eastman lingering around to defend his belt at small venues against the likes of Elcock?

Isn't it better to try regain his old European belt next with Amin Asikainen, or try get someone lingering in the top 10 like a Kinglsey Ikeke etc....?

Who thought Eastman got jobbed v Abraham?

I've done an interview with him, and that should be on BBN late today or tomorrow. He talks about that fight in it.

He is sitting on the fence in regard to who he thinks will win. However, he said they are two class fighters who have performed well at a high level and he looks forward to fighting the winner.

eastman has to be a big favourite.......but it depends if hes really that interested anymore! its a bit of an anti climax fighting richard williams for the british title after bhop,miranda and abraham

THEBUTCH · Post by **THEBUTCH** » 07 Dec 2006, 12:24

It is a far cry from challenging Hopkins in the USA, but Williams represents a serious challenge so hopefully Howard will be suitably motivated.

I saw Howard after a 12 round spar today, he looks in great shape
