I was looking forward to seeing this fight because both Garcia and Judah were hyping it up (there bout). There was a lot of trash talking between both camps and I was enjoying it a lot. Now they have to postpone the fight and the rest of the undercards due to Garcia's rib injury during sparring. Things happen in boxing and in the world. For example, your alive today but you may die tomorrow for no reason. With that postponed, Judah to me will have more time to train, re-adjust the game plan to beating Garcia. While Garcia on the other hand will recovery slowly, and day by day on his rib injury and to get back into fighting mode. For the undercards, I know they are disappointed but they have more time to prepare.

 For the fans that were flying in to New York to see the fight live, they have to rebook there flights, get a refund for there ticket/s or hold on to there ticket/s, and rebook there hotel. Fans that planned all of that, have to pay a fee to doing that. finally to the New Yorkers wanting to see the fight, they do not have much to lose, all they have to do is hold on to there ticket/s or get there refund back.
