When a fighter cancels this late, and there's no fighter preparing to box just in case there's a cancellation, then imo the fight should just be cancelled.
Going ahead with a very late, unprepared, replacement usually leads to an uncompetitive fight that could be dangerous to the replacement.
First I am disappointed in the fight being cancelled then what are they going to do move it or stick with a ten day replacement. Normally that don't work out too well when you get up the rankings but it could turn interesting on how and who they get in the ring. Thanks for the info keep it going .............. Smith don't want no quick elusive style fighter as a replacement.
