Pavlik has hand surgery, eyes Oct. 3 fight
TweetPublished: Tue, August 4, 2009 @ 5:38 p.m.
Kelly Pavlik has already missed one fight due to a bout with staph infection. He doesn’t expect to miss another.
Pavlik had surgery on his left hand two weeks ago to clean up some scar tissue stemming from a bout with staph infection last February. His father and co-manager, Mike Pavlik Sr., called it a “pinhole cut,” and said it’s not a big issue.
“It wasn’t healing, so they had to go in there and scrape the scar tissue out of it,” Mike Sr. said. “It’s got to heal from the inside out because it was only healing from the outside.”

Pops Sr. What is next excuse going to be? This is starting to get comical to put it mildly. Those who know boxing aren't that naive, your boy don't want a piece of Williams. I think it is fair to say America and boxing media, fans, experts, and those involved in the sport are waking up, wouldn't you say so Pops? With so much at stake he should have been seeking out best medical treatment and surgeon money could buy. It defies any and all logic that he would get this procedure done local when he should have had a Dr. Andrews type caliber surgeon calling the shots. Pure stupidity at its finest.
