Just seen the pics on East Side

Both in great shape. Lot's of head to head stuff.

Eastman making a five fingered claw.

Heating up nicely. Can't wait

I have to say Eastman looks in fantastic shape, never seen him looking so ripped before - not that I can recall anyway althogh he's always in shape he's very cut this time. Won't be enough though!

Hopkins looks thinner.

Cheers mate

He looks riped dosent he. Glad to see him not looking too intimidated aswell. Has anyone watched the video's on Hennessy's page. There is a real annoying guy shouting support to Howard in the backgrownd I think he is saying "and the new" and then something about Mike McCullum

Eastman has much longer arms too, hopkins must have bigger shoulders if his reach is bigger because eastman's clearly got longer arms.

I like the staredown, it's Hopkins who is forced to break the moment, not eastman who remains motionless throughout.

Having saind that Eastman is about 2 inches shorter so the apparent length of his arms is extended because they go down further. Your right though they certainly do look impressive.

Anyone know the official height statistics? Both boxrec and BBC have 6'1 to Hopkins v Eastman's 5'11. Doesn't look like that to me. Mabye I'ts just the hats

Look at the shoulders though, Eastman's shoulders are actually higher. A lot of Nard's extra height must be in that neck.

Nice shot...the photo angle is deceiving but Eastman looks for have much longer arms, i would have preferred the white beard on show though

jamesmcdonnell · Post by **jamesmcdonnell** » 19 Feb 2005, 16:07

"Hello sailor"

Tad unfortunate this particular photo.

Lol, is Howard listening to YMCA on that walkman

Eastman looks ready there, I hope he can do it. Britain doesnt have one genuine world title holder (big 3) so its about time we got one

josh fg · Post by **josh fg** » 19 Feb 2005, 17:55

Has anyone seen that pictur of their faces touching nose to nose, that is a hell of a shot.

Nice pictures. Good to see Eastman's so laid back, but then, I didn't expect anything else. At least he's not going to be over-awed by the occasion.

The problem is; that might not be enough.
