This week, Cuba's Jordenis Ugas, known as the "Pacquiao Conqueror," revealed that his eyes were bleeding for 40 hours after losing to Errol Spence. In August last year, Ugas beat Manny Pacquiao in an unpopular situation, a match in which Pacquiao announced his retirement, and Ugas ushered in the peak of his career.
However, in the middle of this month against Spence, Ugas failed to replicate the heroism of the victory over Pacquiao, and in the face of Spence's high-density attack, Ugas's right eye was severely swollen and had to withdraw from the confrontation in the 10th round, and was diagnosed with an orbit fracture after the game.
Ugas told World Boxing News that his right eye was only swollen to boxing fans, but for some time afterwards, his right eye was bleeding outwards, more severely than expected. "Thank you to all those who prayed to me, my eyes were closed and bleeding for 40 hours, like i was bleeding tears, now that my eyes can be opened, in the next few days, with God's help, I will see a doctor again when the swelling and bruises are zero."" ”
What Ugas said is true, before he released a related photo, that is, the entire right side of the face is swollen, the cheeks are covered with gauze, the swollen eyes are indeed bleeding, because the photo will make people feel uncomfortable, so xiaobian will not post it.
Despite his crushing defeat in the contest against Spence, Ugas's willpower qualities are still worthy of recognition, especially when he persists in fighting with a right eye injury, which makes many boxing fans praise him. Ugas said: "Whether I win or lose, the saddest thing for me is that I can't bring a more exciting and competitive battle to the boxing fans, my plan is to play a strong game in the second half, but unfortunately from the 7th round, the eyes start to hurt and everything changes." ”
Ugas also posted a video with the headline: "Thanks to my fiancée, the team's support and prayers, I promise to those who support me to donate blood, hard work, sweat, tears."
In the confrontation with Spence, Ugas showed the tough guy side vividly, and he seemed very frustrated and unwilling for the medical supervisor to recommend ending the game, but the video showed that back in the lounge after the game, Ugas looked very tired and painful, he was half lying on the massage chair, the team members were busy before and after, the fiancée continued to comfort Ugas, and the picture of the two holding hands together made many people moved.
Ugas also said that despite his bravery and tenacity, after losing the game, many people on social media mocked him. "I block a lot of people these days, and if a fan tells me 'you're being overtaken, you're not at that level,' I'll accept it, and if it's just to make fun of me, smear me, and make me understand that you're hating me, I'll stop you and save you from reading my messages,' Ugas said. ”
Ugas reflected on the loss to Spence, and he remained as honest and tenacious as ever. Ugas said: "I want to fight to the end, it's calm now, the opponent won that night, it's an honour and I want to inspire young people to take on the challenge and get better results." I've dealt with two future Hall of Famers over the past 8 months, and I'm proud. ”
Next, Spence could compete with Terrance Crawford for all 4 sub-welterweight gold belts, and whoever wins is likely to give up the title, which is an opportunity for Ugas if so. Ugas is 35 years old, this age is not big, said small is not small, but he can fight for another 1-2 years, not to mention that Ugas has a solid foundation and delicate technology, it is still possible to regain the title of boxing king, I wish him a speedy recovery.
