    Kovalev hand surgery?

    I've read here (not sure if it's reliable) that Kovalev just had hand surgery.

    Is this correct?

    He was injured in the fight so yes. Allegedly canelos camp paid him an extra 3 mil to fight with one hand, thats the word on the street

      No, it's not correct. Plasmolifting is not a surgery.

            Is that why he didnt throw his right hand? What type of surgery is it exactly?

            McGirt did say after one of those rounds "dont worry about the right", as if he finally wanted Kovalev to ignore the pain and throw it. Something was wrong anyway.

              Or he was telling him not to throw it and stick to jabbing.

                You do know that he didn't cite this alleged hand job IIRC when asked just after the fight why he didn't throw his right more.

                  Just playing devil's advocate since I don't really believe Kov a lot but maybe he injured it during the fight and didn't pick up on it until the adrenaline wore off.

                    It's not a surgery. It's PRP-therapy. Plasmolifting, plasmoplastics or whatever it's called in the US. Blood plasma enriched by thrombocytes is injected into the problem area to accelerate the renewal of the tissue.
