Kelly Pavlik vs Paul Williams is Postponed Once Again

[Doctor_Tenma]

Paul Williams isn't a SMW, he'd have to build himself for that weight and that would take some serious time.

[Bushidō]

I highly doubt Pavlik is ducking Williams. Just sucks that its postponed again

[Bushidō]

Wouldn't make sense to duck a fighter after you signed the contract. He wasn't even forced into the fight. So lets not jump to conclusions

[DuttyAlacrity]

This fight isn't happening. P-Will should take on the top of 154.

Co-sign
I'm getting tired of this
in any case the 154 pd class is missing a king he should go for that

[Bushbaby]

Call Sturm,Punisher,see if he wants it!!

[MissDeeCole]

i dont blame them for being reluctant to put pavlik in the ring against williams at anything less then 100%. I dont think they want a repeat of whatever the issue was with hopkins

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Damn was looking forward to this fight. Two guys with high workrates was almost a guarantee to be an exciting fight. I know those staph infections can be bad, so hopefully it isn't too serious for Kelly. Does anybody have any pictures of what his hand looked like?

What is Staphylococcus?

Staphylococcus is a group of bacteria that can cause a multitude of diseases as a result of infection of various tissues of the body. Staphylococcus is more familiarly known as Staph (pronounced "staff"). Staph-related illness can range from mild and requiring no treatment to severe and potentially fatal.

The name "Staphylococcus" comes from the Greek staphyle, meaning a bunch of g****s, and kokkos, meaning berry, and that is what Staph look like under the microscope, like a bunch of g****s or little round berries. (In technical terms, these are gram-positive, facultative anaerobic, usually unencapsulated cocci.)

Over 30 different types of Staphylococci can infect humans, but most infections are caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococci can be found normally in the nose and on the skin (and less commonly in other locations) of 20%-30% of healthy adults. In the majority of cases, the bacteria do not cause disease. However, damage to the skin or other injury may allow the bacteria to overcome the natural protective mechanisms of the body, leading to infection.


Who is at risk for Staph infections?

Anyone can develop a Staph infection, although certain groups of people are at greater risk, including newborn infants, breastfeeding women, and people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, and lung disease. Injecting drug users, those with skin injuries or disorders, intravenous catheters, surgical incisions, and those with a weakened immune system all have an increased risk of developing Staph infections.


What are the symptoms and signs of a Staph infection?

Staphylococcal disease of the skin usually results in a localized collection of pus, known as an abscess, boil, or furuncle. The affected area may be red, swollen, and painful. Drainage or pus is common.


WELL NOW THAT I KNOW..... GET WELL CHAMP!

[DrewWoodside]

well it's either that or Pavlik really does have a staff infection (which can take forever to heal) or there are other problems we don't know about Pavlik (maybe all those drinking rumors are true, who knows).

All I know is this fight isn't happening and it sucks, as I was looking forward to seeing a new MW champ.

I don't want to be the one guy to defend Pavlik but.. They had a picture of his hand when he did the Presser with Williams and the New York Giants. That wasn't long ago at all and even then it looked like his hand was dipped in boiling water. I just don't understand why they rescheduled when it was still in questionable condition. They need to fire whatever doctor keeps clearing him. It's only serving to make Team Pavlik appear flaky.

[Bushidō]

I doubt it. Why would he accept then "duck" him. He wasn't forced into the fight
