It isn't the most pleasing news for fans and well-wishers of Manny Pacquiao. However, the Filipino boxer reportedly had to visit an ophthalmologist, an eye injury specialist, on Tuesday as he continues his recovery from his 12-round decision loss to Yordenis Ugas. The veteran boxer was not able to fend off the challengers from his Cuban opponent, who used his physical advantages and his jab to outclass Pacquiao on Saturday in a fight in Las Vegas. Although the 42-year-old had attended the post-event press conference, he was seen wearing the wounds of war during his address to the media. The fighter had a visibly swollen face, was bruised and had to have five stitches in a cut by the side of his eye. An English-language newspaper in the Philippines, The Inquirer, reported that Pacquiao's lawyer Tom Falgui has conveyed that medical experts are having a close look at Pacquiao's conditions.
