Danny Green vs Tarver is happening July 20 in Australia

**** I hope Tarver beats this blow hard jackass. go tarver

 

jealous?

 

I don't beleive it until i see it on a credible site, plus tarver said
he was campaigning as a heavyweight and did so in his last fight.

 

Yes but money talks and RJJ got 5 mil coming to Australia, not only that but the Oz dollar is worth more than the US dollar at the moment...... Tarver will receive a nice little pay day down under.

 

It was on-again off-again for quite a while, actually...basically the whole time between Green-Jones and Tarver's announcement that he was moving up to heavyweight.

That's why Tarver moved up to HW, btw. He was sick of waiting for Danny to sign on the dotted line and finally just decided "the hell with him :conf, I'm chasing big money fights with the Klitschkos".

There have been persistent rumors ever since that Green has been trying to extend the olive branch and lure Tarver back down to Dannyweight. I'm surprised to see them not turn out to have been full of ****. :think (assuming this information is good, and doesn't change between now and July 20th...)

Danny Green is expecting the toughest fight of his career after announcing he'll defend his IBO cruiserweight world title against American Antonio Tarver.

Green will fight the former multiple light heavyweight world champion at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on July 20.

The West Australian declared he was totally over the appendix problem which required surgery in a Perth hospital back in January.

"My health is fantastic, I'm feeling in good condition," Green told a media conference on Wednesday.

"I lost 13 kgs. To be honest, when I was lying in hospital, I didn't think that I would be able to fight again, which was obviously fairly scary for me.

"I've recovered well and put most of my weight back on and I'm in the process to go into a training camp in about four or five weeks to get ready for the toughest test of my career.

"Antonio Tarver is a monster of a bloke and his credentials are impeccable."

Tarver, 42, (28-6) is dropping down after one fight in the heavyweight division.

Both Tarver and 38-year-old Green (31-3) have knocked out former multiple-division world title winner Roy Jones jr.

Tarver wasn't worried about Green's impressive knockout record and planned to arrive at least two weeks before the bout to ensure he's fully acclimatised and ready.

"I've faced punches before, they have to land in order to be effective so I'm not worried about that," Tarver said from the United States.

"I know Danny Green is going to bring his attitude, his aggression. He's a proud fighter, so am I. So this fight makes to be a great fight."

 

Was hoping Tarver would fight Vitali before Adamek.................

 

Green by KO

 

What a joke. :rofl

 

"When you beat a legend, you become a legend"

Well, Tarver beat that legend first.

When you beat the shell of a guy who beat a legend, you become a ???

 

That's not very close
Maybe geographical though :yep

 

Tarver better fight this kind of opposition because toney would have destroyed him.

 

Green - Toney would be funny.

Green- Tarver though is just a waste of time, though if Tarver takes it seriously it should go the distance and might be at least competitive. Green might as well go for a title or retire, scrap the Mundine style matchups and quit now.
