Mexico's Norberto Gonzalez had been training hard to face undefeated Jonathan Gonzalez of Puerto Rico until the latter injured his left shoulder in sparring and was forced to withdraw from the bout. The injury opened the door for countryman Robert Garcia to step in on late notice to face Garcia in a 10-round middleweight bout headlining a "Friday Night Fights" card (ESPN2, 9 p.m. ET) from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. Garcia (33-3, 22 KOs), 33, is a high-risk opponent for Gonzalez, even though he took the fight with less than two weeks notice.
