Pavlik with Minor Injury from Training Camp

A report from EastSideBoxing said during a sparring session Pavlik and his sparring partner banged elbows and caused a bruise. Although it's not a serious injury, Pavlik says the bruise is "bothersome" and the fight with Hopkins will take place as scheduled. He's walking around in a synthetic sleeve and may need a shot in order to not let the elbow bother him during the fight.

Anyone think this will signiticantly effect the outcome of the fight?

I don't think it effects the outcome, but at least Pavlik has got an excuse if Hopkins schools him!
