yeah that is true . eastman was pumped up to be the man to beat him in this forum. thing was eastman was robbed in the joppy fight and looked like he would give B-hop some trouble which he did just a little. as is wasn't a dominat win but still not close i had it 116-112 some actually scored it closer. thats when Hopkins first started to show his inactivity during rounds.(other then the DLh fight where he seemed to let oscar look competive during the first 5 rounds
I was always a Howard Eastman fan, I must admit. He was a mad ******* but he had a really deprived childhood by all accounts and he was amusing if nothing else and he had an evil uppercut too :shock: Hope he gets himself together again if this story is accurate. Oh and yes, he was ****ing robbed in that Joppy fight, but he didn't do himself any favours in that one either. I remember seeing him in training in Miami before that fight and there was a hurricane blowing while the stupid **** swam in the ocean...he claimed it was "Gods way of making me train harder" As I said, he was a mad ****, and I loved him for it :rofl
Yeah they showed footage of the berk swimming in massive waves and stuff. Might be bull**** but knowing Eastman he probably did it for real, he was a real space cadet
