Michael Koncz Hospitalized, More Surgery is Scheduled

UPDATE:  Koncz informed us a short while ago that things “did not go as good as we hoped in today’s operation and the doctors were just in my room and said we need to do a bigger operation.” Koncz said it  would mean "replacing the main artery from the groin all the way to the knee because there was too much damage that they could not fix in today’s operation.” He informed us that an additional bypass operation will be done on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. even as he insisted, “ I will still fly back to GenSan by Saturday.”

Michael Koncz, the longtime adviser of “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao has been hospitalized.

In a text message to us, Koncz said he had just gotten out after an operation which was done, we gather, at the Cardinal Santos Memorial Hospital in San Juan.

Koncz said “the procedure was to remove a  blockage and additional blood clot from the main artery  leading to my right leg.” He said “the damaged area was from the groin area to just above the knee.”

Koncz indicated that he woke up a short while ago and is presently “not feeling too well I also have a fever.”
