Eastman turns 37 that day. Do you think, with everybody having written him off & his career looking over, this is the night he finally brings it & lays it all on the line?

Or is that wishful thinking, and Eastman will once again be so super cool that he doesnt have to show any passion for his work, get outpunched and drop a decision and call it 'a robbery'.

Or does Duddy, a guy who got into a war with a washed up old welter like Campas, bang out the Battersea Bomber?

Early thoughts gentlemen?

I know that Eastman has shown a great chin in the past but I fancy Duddy for the stoppage.

Does Duddy hit like Miranda though? Miranda couldnt even put Eastman on the deck.

Miranda would of put Campas away in rd 1.

I want Eastman to win (dont think you can quite say 'finally brings it' in this case tho) just to put to bed all this talk of Fuddy-Duddy being a world beater....

Once he gets bashed by Howard no one will care what nationality he is!

If Duddy gets hit, and he will, he will go to war and that will suit Eastman as he won't have to go looking.

Eastman upset for me right now.

having a punt?

Finally, a big name who will stand in & trade with Eastman. That suits the old boy down to the ground. I was ringside for Eastmans kayo of Richard WIlliams and hes a right canny old bag of tricks still. Dont know how serious he is taking this though, and whether he'll prepare out in Guyana alone yet again.

Is he still with McCracken & co?

I'ver never placed a bet. Would be worth one if you were that way inclined.

NEVER? lol, im not going to myself... my betting when i do it is on the greyhounds or scorer/score combos at footie

If Eastman trains himself then he'll lose. But if he uses his brain an takes it seriously, then he'll beat Duddy.

Yeah good point but I think Eastman wont take this fight seriously enough and a surprise will happen.... Eastman loses this its bye-bye career
