Tarver vs. Green: Antonio ready to give Danny a boxing lesson

By Dan Ambrose: International Boxing Organization (IBO) cruiserweight champion Danny Green (31-3, 27 KO’s) is facing one of the best fighters he’s ever been in with in Antonio Tarver (28-6, 19 Ko’s) on July 20th at the Entertainment Centre, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Tarver may be getting up there in age at 42, but you can ignore his age completely because he’s one of those fighters that you can’t judge by his chronological age.

Campbell vs. Garcia a possibility for Maidana-Morales undercard on 4/9

By Jason Kim: There’s talk of former lightweight champion Nate Campbell (33-7-1, 25 KO’s) facing unbeaten light welterweight contender Danny Garcia (20-0, 14 KO’s) on the undercard of the Marcos Maidana vs. Erik Morales fight on April 9th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Adding Campbell and Garcia to the card will make this an even bigger card than it already is, even though Campbell-Garcia is pretty much a mismatch because of Campbell’s advanced age.

Garcia, only 22, hurt Romero with a big left hook to the head in the 9th that sent Romero to the canvas. Romero, 20, made it back to his feet and was met with several powerful rights from Garcia, which prompted the referee to step in and halt the action before Romero could get really hurt.

Miranda will need at least 4 to 6 weeks to fully recover from the illness, but still wants to attempt to make the fight with Stieglitz, if possible, at that time. If not, then Miranda will be looking to see if he can land a fight with IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute.
