BoxingScene.com reported on Wednesday that WB junior welterweight champion Erik "El Terrible" Morales was taken to a hospital in Mexico City to undergo gallbladder surgery to remove a stone. The boxer began to experience pain and discomfort and had immediate surgery to resolve the issue. After the surgery was complete, the doctors advised Morales to rest for ten days before resuming his normal activities. Members of Morales' team refused to give a concrete answer on whether or not the scheduled defense against undefeated Danny Garcia was going to proceed on January 28th in Texas.
