good battersea boy is howard.. all credit to the lad if his health is ok and hes making a nice bit of dough
Yeah he was still in his prime when he hooked up with McCracken. It was not long after Eastman beat McCracken actually and just after he went out to America for the Joppy world title fight. Eastman signed with Hennessey and McCracken became his coach.
Very talented fighter. fair doos to him. Must be in with a good shout for picking up the $2 million. Tasty.
he looked older when he fought joppy....with that old mans beard of his for a while he was a fabulous boxer...a real treat to watch
Eastman was quality, one of the best from the UK not to win a full world title. Froch used to spar with him for years and puts it a lot of his success down to 'getting battered round the ring for years of Howard whilst learning my trade'.
