Repercussions and Speculation
Garcia's failure to make weight has raised concerns about his preparation and fitness. During fight week, Haney repeatedly pointed out that Garcia appeared overweight, claiming that it would affect his performance. The missed weight has also put into question whether the fight will go ahead as scheduled.
Haney's Response

Implications for the Fight
The missed weight by Garcia could potentially alter the dynamics of the fight. Haney will have a significant size and strength advantage, which could be crucial in a close contest. Garcia will need to find a way to overcome his weight disadvantage and prove that he can still be a threat to Haney's undefeated record.
What's Next?
The future of the Garcia-Haney fight is uncertain. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) will need to consider the ramifications of Garcia's missed weight and determine whether the fight can still take place. If the fight is canceled, it would be a major blow to the boxing world and could have long-term implications for Garcia's career.
