Danny Green confident of boxing victory against Antonio Tarver tonight - 20th July 2011

A reved up and confident Danny Green aka "The Green Machine" is poised to take the fight to Antonio Tarver in their world title boxing match tonight, with Green's team stating the celebrated American boxer can't handle their man's raw power.

Three-division champ Green, 38, (record: 31-3, 27 KOs) is the favourite to successfully defend his IBO cruiserweight title against 4-time light heavyweight world champion Tarver, 42, (record: 28-6, 19 KOs) in their bout at the famous Sydney Entertainment Centre.

Green advised a victory this evening would be just as big for him as his victory over another American megastar, Roy Jones Jr, who Tarver has also kicked booty on.

"This fight is the most important of my career. Internationally, there is a lot of people taking notice of this fight," Green said.

The dominant light heavyweight of the last decade, Tarver thinks he can unify the cruiserweight division. But the bookies - SP's and the wagering folks don't agree. The word is that Traver's height advantage won't help him enough.

Tarver's camp have suggested Green has used illegal substances in his gloves!

Tarver's 84-year-old trainer Jimmy Williams has referred to Green's style as primitive and one-dimensional, and is looking for the champ to take the fight to him.

"We are ready for him to come out there and try and take us out in the first round. We are prepared for that, but we are going to burst his bubble," Williams said.

Tarver is thinking Green will be hyped up as he believes that will only work in his favour.

"I want him fired up. I want him coming in there dog mad, because he can't fight me being mad," Tarver said. "He's going to have to be cool and calm under fire. His aggressiveness is going to get him knocked out, trust me."

Green's trainer Angelo Hyder said its important to keep his fighter calm. "I think the thing is to try and keep him relaxed because he really wants to knock Tarver's head off," he said.

Tarver said: "It's sexy, man. I like it," Tarver said of preparing to fight on foreign soil.

"The pressure is on him. He's got to perform in front of all his fans in his home country. All I got to do is get in there and do what I do and that's win.

"I'm bringing the speed. I'm bringing the power. I'm bringing the focus and the determination. I'm ready."

"Basically, all those punches are not going to be landing and I'm going to be counter-punching and I'm going to be setting up my combinations," Tarver said.

"And when I start catching Danny, the end is near because I don't think he's ever felt the type of short, crisp power that I have."

Tarver is a star in the last instalment of the Rocky movie franchise, but we're not so sure that will save him.

Danny Green Biography

The Green Machine is the likeable larrikin that grew up in The West's beach side suburb of Doubleview. With Mum Maria, Dad Mal, brother Brendan and sister's Sharni and Narelle life was never dull. Sport has always played a huge part in the family's life with Brendan being an Australian Rules Football premiership player for Claremont and being selected in the West Coast Eagles playing squad.

Danny's father Mal coached his junior team Marist to 3 premierships with Danny being described kindly "as a diminutive rover with heaps of courage". Players of the ilk of Molly, Jimmy, Trants, Davo, Jezza, Heads and Benny ensured there was never a dull moment for Mal.

During this time Danny was actively involved in kick boxing and martial arts. He then took up boxing at the late age of 18 when attending a pre season training session with his brother with Pat Develerz who then went on to train him during his amateur career. Danny won numerous state titles before moving to the AIS to train for the Commonwealth Games and Olympics.

His adventures then took him to Canada with partner (now wife) Nina. After the 2000 Olympics he was approached by triple world champion Jeff Fenech to turn professional. That he did, and what an impact he has had since!

As they say, the rest is history! He quickly advanced through the ranks and within 3 years fought for and controversially lost, then won the WBC Super Middleweight World Title. The Team Fenech knockout artist is the new WBC Interim super middleweight world champion after an impressive stoppage win in Montreal, Canada on December 20. This fight came after a controversial disqualification loss to WBC super middleweight champion Markus Beyer in Germany in August 2003. A Green-Beyer rematch is now scheduled for March 12 in Zwickau Germany. The tall hard hitting golden boy of Australia boxing.
