Eastman dreaming of another shot
Howard Eastman is hoping for a rematch following his points loss to undisputed world middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins in Los Angeles on Saturday.
According to Eastman, Hopkins offered him another chance after the fight, although "The Executioner" is more likely to seek out bigger pay-days.
"I would like to thank Bernard Hopkins for this opportunity," Eastman said.
"Let's do it one more time - I will even the score. Then a third time. Then we can look at the other guys."
Eastman, 34, was outclassed and clearly outpointed at the Staples Center but has accused the champion of running scared.
"He ran for the whole fight, he knew he had to get away from me," said the "Battersea Bomber".
"I don't blame him for fighting that sort of fight, he did what he had to do. He was doing his job.
