Hopkins V Eastman

[PAULM03]

I've been waiting for this for ages, a potential middleweight classic. Eastman has vowed to knock hopkins out in the 5th which is 20.0 on betfair, as much as i rate Eastman i don't think it will happen, not that early anyway. According to the so-called experts the value bet is Hopkins on points at 1.8. Personally i'm for the upset and am on eastman at 5.6 to win.

Just a few words from Richie Woodhall......Former WBC champion and BBC Sport commentator He has not had enough quality fights leading up to this. Three bouts in two years is not enough when you are about to face the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. You can train as much as you like, but you can't match the conditioning you get from an actual fight, so I expect Eastman to tire towards the end of this 12-round contest. Didnt realise Eastman had just three bouts in the last two year :\
