Just read this at RINGTV, odd how it's two different injuries.
Danny Garcia suffered a severe thumb injury while sparring that could force him to postpone his Feb. 9 RING/WBA/WBC 140-pound titles defense against Zab Judah, according to Gary Williams of Boxing Along the Beltway blog.
According to Williams, Garcia hurt his thumb while sparring with former 140-pound beltholder DeMarcus Corely.
The rumor that Garcia might have to pull out of the Judah fight, which is to take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., was first tweeted by ******.com contributor Mike Coppinger from his personal Twitter account on Saturday night, shortly after junior welterweight contender Lucas Matthysse knocked out Mike Dallas Jr. in one round on Showtime.
There was no mention that Garcia-Judah could be in jeopardy during the Saturday broadcast on Showtime, which is airing the junior welterweight championship and had Judah on as a guest.
A Monday announcement on the matter is expected from Golden Boy Promotions, Garcia's promoter and the lead promoter of the Judah fight.

Oh... so it's a thumb injury now?
Sleep it off my ass, he was tweeting during the fight and before it. So unless he hurt himself sparring at 1 in the morning, i'm calling shenanigans
I dont see why he would avoid a fight with Judah because Lucas won yesterday, If he is injured then they can cancel his fight with Judah, heal and then forget judah and face Lucas.
Your second statement answers your first. Some want to pretend like Zab presents absolutely no threat to Garcia, but he does have a chance to win. By calling off the fight, he can side-step Zab and just fight Matthysse. After all the crap that's been said, I think he should reschedule.

I agree. Lucas punches so hard he hurts fighters who are just watching the fight.
Will wait for Monday to see if they cancel the fight hopefully it's not serious and Judah career ends next month as planned
The next mushahadeen right here. Do you remember what happened with mush and Chavez Jr? The same will happen to you with Garcia once Lucas knocks his fkin head off his shoulders.
Lucas hits so hard that his KO sent shockwaves thru the earth hitting Garcia on the ribs. Garcia felt the pain so he rolled off his couch and landed on his thumb. He knows what Lucas' body shots feel like now and will never fight him, what a shame.
