Hopkins Beats Eastman On Points
Bernard Hopkins remains the undisputed middleweight champion of the world after retaining all 4 belts against the flambouyant Howard Eastman in Los Angeles about an hour ago.
It was live on the Beeb - which was nice for non Sky boxing fans.
Of course, Eastman fought well. He always does. Seemingly destined to fall short when up against the big boys on the big day though, Eastman looked good enough to win to me. Something is not right about that guy. Maybe his eccentricity is his strength and his weakness.
Once again, the talented "Eastman gets beat in a world title fight on points", he could or should have won.
If you never saw the fight, you can read the Eastman v Hopkins round by round commentary from the BBC or tune into the BBC2 at 10.30 this evening uk time and watch a Hopkins v Eastman rerun.
