Manny Pacquiao had to see an ophthalmologist – an eye injury specialist – Tuesday, as the Filipino boxer continues to recover from his 12-round decision loss to Yordenis Ugas.

The veteran, a 42-year-old who has won titles in multiple weight classes, was unable to fend off the challenges from his Cuban opponent, who used his physical advantages and his jab to outclass Pacquiao on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Though Pacquiao attended the post-event press conference, he addressed the fight game's media wearing the wounds of war.

The fighter had a swollen face, was bruised, and had to have five stitches in a cut by the side of his eye.

The Inquirer, an English-language newspaper in the Philippines, reported this week that Pacquiao's lawyer Tom Falgui said medical experts are continually monitoring the fighter's injuries.

They appear to be so severe that Pacquiao was unable to open his eyes while his wife, Jinkee, spoon-fed him a meal in a video posted to Instagram.

Pacquiao is one of the most decorated boxers to ever compete in the sport.

He has fought as a flyweight in Manila, all the way through to the super welterweight division in America, and has competed 72 times as a pro.

It is an extraordinary record for a fighter who won the welterweight (147-pounds) championship five times in a weight class he perhaps should never have had a right to have fought in - having entered the sport as a 108-pounder.

But it remains unclear whether Pacquiao will continue in the sport, or retire forever to focus on politics as a senator in the Philippines with aspirations to one day become president

"You know, I'm a little bit worried about it, yes," boxing coach Freddie Roach recently told Boxing Scene, regarding the prospect of a combat sport without Pacquiao.

"He's boxed a long, long time, and he's boxed with me for a long time."

Roach later added: "You know, I hate to see that day when he retire but this could be it. He didn't have a great performance - but we'll see what Manny decides."

Contemplating his own future, Pacquiao said last weekend: "In the future, you may not see Manny Pacquiao in the ring."
