As stated by ElTerribleMorales...yes...every fighter that get's knocked out goes to the hospital after a fight babe.
As harsh as it sounds though...I do agree with you...it might be time for Eastman to think about something else outside of boxing. Two young up & coming fighters have pretty much humiliated Howard...no matter what faces he makes after the decisions or him getting stopped.
I like Eastman & I recognize his skills...I always have...but it might be time to ride off into the sunset.

Now...my thing about Edison Miranda is this...Tito had a pretty extensive background with boxing. Olympics/ams & what not...Miranda did not. He's just coming up & he's doing it damned well. I'll be honest...I'm fairly impressed with what he did against Eastman...but he's still got a lot of work to do. Power only carries you for so long...as Trinidad found out later in the game.
Tito's defense was just as holey as Miranda's is. That's going to be a problem...especially if Miranda matches wits with a thinking boxer that's got a good defense. Eastman was skilled but he fought the wrong fight IWO & he fought it against the younger stronger man.

I predictid Eastman on the sheer fact experience and who he had shared a ring with.
Eastman was a decent challenge and Miranda took his oppurtunity very well, but you are going way over the top, Eastman was just about top 10 in the 160 divison.
Fair is fair...Eastman was a huge step up. Let's not disrespect the win by making excuses for Eastman now. Backyard or not...he got his ass handed to him in brutal fashion.
Also...Eastman has always done enough to be top 10 material. I wanna see how Miranda does with someone that's as young & hungry as he is. Toss him in with Abraham...that'll be a damned explosive fight.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
