Top Rank Promotions' matchmaker, Bruce Trampler, has been treated and released from an Atlantic City hospital after having potentially suffered a minor stroke on Friday during a weekend promotion leading to Saturday night's middleweight title clash between Kelly Pavlik and Sergio Martinez at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
"Apparently, he seems to be okay, but we're having him go to the Cleveland Clinic on Monday so that they can check him out thoroughly," said Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, of the multi-specialty academic medical center located in Cleveland, Ohio. "Obviously, it was something, so the Cleveland Clinic has the best neurological department, so we want to get him checked out."
Arum said that Trampler "didn't seem right" on Friday.
"I'm not a doctor, but he wasn't feeling well, he was slurring his words, and he didn't seem right. So we got him to the hospital, they took good care of him, and they're taking good care of him at the Atlantic City hospital right now," said Arum. "I spoke to him this morning, he's fine. But he came in Thursday, and he wasn't feeling well all day on Friday. But he seems to be fine, now, and he's going to go to the Cleveland Clinic for a checkup."
