"Velasquez underwent surgery a couple of days ago to repair the MCL. While under the knife, they discovered the injury was more extensive than originally feared.
"The surgery went well, but there was more damage than anticipated, which didn’t make sense to me because he’s so freaking tough," he told Ariel Helwani. "If Cain says ‘oww’ it must be a lot worse than he’s making it out to be, because that guy can take pain like I’ve never seen. So when it turned out that his MCL was worse, they put two anchors on it, it turns out he’ll be out a little longer than anticipated."
..
As for a timetable for how long Velasquez will be out, Mendez said he wasn’t entirely sure, but that the doctors were doing everything in their power to help accelerate the recovery. If all goes well, a springtime date in 2015 would be the goal."
