    The only thing I've read is that PBC cancelled the whole card, which included Danny Garcia - Erislandy Lara, as well.

    Damn, I was surprisingly interested in these match ups. Despite a year of top fights, a sizable amount of fighters seem to just be on the sidelines

    I forgot all about this one, was looking forward to seeing what Part Time has left in the tank.
    And I don’t follow Stan really, but I know enough to see that this dude has been getting the shaft for a long time now. Why aren’t they at least feeding him some lower level comp? Trying to keep the spotlight on Ennis or something?

    It would've had to have been on Showtime no? And Showtime is now out of the game. That's the only thing I could have imagined happened.

    They could have moved it to the Morrell card a week later if they really wanted to go ahead with the fight, but they didn´t. Hard luck for Stanionis this year, found no way to get back in the ring.
