Manny Pacquiao seemingly struggles to open his eyes in a video posted 3 days after his recent boxing loss

• Manny Pacquiao continues to wear battle wounds after his 12-round loss to Yordenis Ugas on Saturday.
• He has injuries around his eyes and couldn't seem to open them in a video posted Tuesday.
• The video shows Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee, spoon-feeding him a meal.

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 press conference afterward, he addressed the media wearing battle wounds.

The fighter had a swollen face, was bruised, and had to have five stitches in a cut near his left eye.

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

They appeared to prevent Pacquiao from opening his eyes while his wife, Jinkee, spoon-fed him a meal in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday.

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

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

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 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," the 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 what's to come, Pacquiao said last weekend: "In the future, you may not see Manny Pacquiao in the ring."
