    Nah, just coincidence. This is only Green's 3rd fight above 175lbs.

      All of the Australian papers say there was an agreement for 180-pounds. I'm going by what I'm reading from every major paper in the country.

        Apologies, I had heard nothing about his until now. Nothing was even said at the weigh-in. It sounds like a "gentlemens agreement" of sorts.

        As far as I know there was no financial penalty for coming in above that weight.

            Jones won't be bigger, Green is 2 inches taller and with a longer reach, therefore he could carry a greater rehydration weight.

                  Every big fight here in Australia is on a wednesday night.

                    Its because they dont want them to compete with any other events they want maximum market potential for people that wouldnt normally go or buy on a weekend that will in deadzone midweek , Wednesdays are a sort nothing day with little traffic in the city compared to Sat night , they find Wed gives the best numbers at the gate and on PPV .

                      I don't really get the point of a catchweight, it wasn't like Green was going to come in at 190 or something.
