Comments Thread For: Weights: Roy Jones Jr 179.5, Danny Green 179.2

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The weights are in for Wednesday's clash between Roy Jones Jr. and IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green. Something interesting caught my eye in the weigh-in results and maybe I didn't notice this in the pre-fight hype. There appears to be a 180-pound catch-weight agreement. Both fighters came in way under the cruiserweight limit of 200-pounds. The catch-weight is certain to give Jones a big advantage in speed, movement. Green weighed 179-180 in his last two outings so the weight will not be that big of a factor for him. [Click Here To Read More]

If the weigh-in happened right now, I'm guessing the fight will televised on a tape delay.

I'm not sure if there was a catchweight. Green is simply no cruiserweight and performs at his best at 168-180 pounds.

I think any talk about this fight being a legit cruiserweight title fight should drop now. The match could very well be fought at LHW.

Anywhere between 175-200 is Cruiserweight, Danny Green usually fights in this range, its not a catchweight.

I can confirm there was NO catch weight for this fight.

That's because freddy roach and bob arum weren't involved.

I can confirm there was NO catch weight for this fight.

They agreed to weigh no more than 180-pounds. 20-pounds under the full cruiser limit. That's a catch-weight mate.
