For the Philippine boxer Manny Pacquiao there was a called phone companhy of his president and the sobrecogedora gratitude of a country that finally has something that to celebrate.
For Oscar de la Hoya there was a trip to the hospital and the inexorable reality that all the boxers must face in the long run.
An attacking one is to a step of turning into the following super star of the pugilism. Other will have to be satisfied with the fact that his bank account is quite robust although reputation has remained spotted permanently.
Pacquiao probably will continue with even major things, with big combats and up to more money for coming.
Assuming that he still has left some neurons after the drubbing that received on Saturday night, De La Hoya will continue a life as businessman and will forget any thought of returning to the quadrilateral one.
“ His nearby and familiar friends should say to him that it was finished”, said his trainer Freddie Roach. “I do not want that it ends with any illness like that of Parkinson. The tiene a very clear mind in this moment, but that might change”, it pointed out.
The boxers rarely listen to such arguments. They always think that they still have left a hanging fight, and almost always this últim there realize too many times.
Unfortunately, these last fights can costly for his health, as Roach knows too much good.
Roach trained De La Hoya for the combat that lost before Floyd Mayweather Jr., where it saw for the first time that De La Hoya could not throw blows when it saw possibilities.
In the opposite corner in this occasion, Roach saw his attacking one giving to De La Hoya such a drubbing that this one gave up after receiving blows in the face during eight assaults.
Also, the advice turns out to be more significant: the same Roach endures the Parkinson evil.
Nobody knows it with certainty, but it is probable that obtained it for receiving too many blows in the head. Also they said to Roach that it should move back; but it fought five times more after that and lost four of these combats for footpaths golpizas.
The medicines help him to control the involuntary movements and prevent his speaking from being too confused. Pero Roach does not need that they remind to him that the boxing is a business that it injures.
“ I hope that Oscar should have common sense sufficient to give it completed”, it pointed out. “I know that he does not want to go away this way, but if it does not go away, it might move back really damaged”, he added.
Of The Hole he did not want to commit himself on having gone down the quadrilateral one just after the fight, saying that he wanted to keep on fighting but that it was worrying him already not to have the reflexes.
Certainly it did not have them against Pacquiao, who could connect it as much as one wants principally because De La Hoya could not release his blows in the short distance.
Pacquiao was so domineering that it gained all the episodes; the seventh assault was so unequal that to Pacquiao they took into account 45 blows at the head of De La Hoya, while only it received four in answer.
Of The Hole he decided not to go out to fight in the ninth chapter.
“ My heart wants still to fight, that is sure”, said De La Hoya. “But when your physicist does not answer: what can you do? It must be ready and insure myself of thinking about my future plans”, it pointed.
