Why isn't Tarver the favorite against Danny Green?

    What makes you think it's harder to get a decision in Australia than anywhere else in the world? Looking forward to you naming us some visiting fighters who got bum decisions in Australia mate. Over to you...

    Tarver is old and looked bad in his last fight and it's in Australia.

    Green probably doesn't need any advantage to confortably beat current Tarver, and yet the fight's held Down Under.
    I think it will be Tarver's last fight before he takes on a full time commentating job.

    That was ages ago. Green was weight drained too. This is a much stronger version, albeit an older one. He'd destroy the **** weak Mundine in one round today.

    It had nothing to do with the fact that it's Australia itself, it's just the fact that Danny Green had homefield advantage. If Antonio Tarver was going to Russia to fight Denis Lebedev I would say the same thing. If Danny Green or anybody else from Australia, UK, Argentina, etc. etc. was fighting, an undefeated young, future star prospect in the States, that road fighter traveling would have a hard time winning a decision. That's just the way it is.
