“QUOTES FROM ANTONIO TARVER”

 

ON FIGHTING DANNY GREEN:

 

“Danny Green was a helluva super middleweight and a good light heavyweight, but cruiserweight? Come on. Instead of “The Green Machine” they should be calling him “The Garbageman” because all he’s doing is feasting on has beens. I’m coming to Australia with a sense of urgency, knowing that I have to take it out of the judges hands. I plan on introducing Danny Green to his first knockout loss. I’m bringing the thunder down under. In order to secure victory, I have to knock him out.”

 

ON DANNY GREEN FIGHTING ROY JONES JR.

 

“A lot of people said it was sad to see what I did to Roy Jones back in 2004 when I took his chin and removed him from the elite level, but it was sadder to see him propped up for Danny Green five years later just so he could have a big name on his resume. He’s attempting to do the same with me, but the difference is, I’m no Roy Jones Jr.. He picked the wrong guy.”

 

GOING TO AUSTRALIA

 

“I don’t mind going to Danny Green’s backyard to fight him, I’m a world champion. I’ve heard that the Australian fans are great, and I’m going to enjoy putting on a show for them. It’s nothing personal, just business, but I believe that by knocking Danny Green out, I’m letting the world know and Danny Green personally this is a fight he should have never taken.”

 

Currently sporting a ten fight winning streak that includes victories over Roy Jones Jr., BJ Flores, and Paul Briggs, 2000 Olympian and current IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green (31-3, 27 KOs) is displaying some

 

of the best form of his decade long pro career, and at 38, the former world light heavyweight and super middleweight champ is looking forward to adding another high-profile name to his resume in the form of Antonio Tarver.

 

One of the best boxers of this era, Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver (28-6, 19 KOs) was an Olympic Bronze medalist for the United States in 1996, and he parlayed that success into a pro career that has seen him fight and beat the best of the best. The first man to knock out Roy Jones Jr., Tarver also holds wins over Glen Johnson, Montell Griffin, and Eric Harding, and the southpaw promises another big victory on July 20th.

I'm going for a Green win by SD. He has home advantage, he's on a good run of form that, he's got a good chin and pretty decent punch and Tarver is even older than Green himself and not had a big win for a long time. However, Green has just come back from major surgery. I wonder if this will affect him at all.
