yeah he's screwed now. fat dan reports he needed 12 stitches over the eyelid and 12 under. said the cut was to the bone. so maybe the stoppage wasn't bad after all. that scar tissue will be a major problem for him, it will open so easily.
as for pavlik I honestly think he's going to make some noise. he has his swagger back and Garcia is teaching him things that will make him more of a complete fighter. he's fighting again in june and wants a big fight after that this year. chavez, Abraham, kessler, froch, bute ...lots of options from 160-168.
