Eastman marches on Eastman is eyeing another world title shot Howard Eastman kept his world title aspirations on track with a clinical three-round demolition of Scott Dann in Nottingham. Eastman retained his British, Commonwealth and European
middleweight titles with a big right uppercut, prompting
referee Larry O'Connell to stop the increasingly one-sided
contest. Dann landed two good early left hands to shade the opening period before an equally impressive second round. But he was not good enough for Eastman Battersea's Eastman decked Dann early in the third before wading in again to force a stoppage and secure the win.
