I believe that friends who have been following this writer remember that I wrote an article last weekend about the former world boxing champion Guillermo Rigondeaux who suffered a pressure cooker explosion while cooking at home.
In this accident, Guillermo Rigundo himself was in the kitchen preparing food, so his face and eyes were burned. Immediately after the accident, Guillermo Rigundo was taken to the Kendall District Hospital in Miami for emergency treatment.
So what is the physical condition of the former world boxer now? Can you continue to play boxing?
On March 7, 2022, Beijing time, Osvaldo Nordelo, a private doctor who has been working with Guillermo Rigundo for ten years, was interviewed by reporters. The senior doctor revealed to reporters that although Guillermo Rigundo was out of danger after receiving emergencies at the hospital for several hours. Currently, Guillermo Rigundo is discharged from the hospital and returns home to recuperate in the company of his family.
The experienced Osvaldo Nordlow also told reporters that he is full of confidence in the full recovery of Guillermo Rigundo, and does not rule out that Guillermo Rigundo can return to the boxing world, continue his boxing career, and even participate in the World Championships again.
When asked by reporters about the basis for Osvaldo Nordlow's judgment, Dr. Osvaldo Nordlow explained that no major damage was found in the corneas and maculas of Guillermo Rigundo's eyes during the examination. Dr. Osvaldo Nordlow and attending physicians agreed that Guillermo Rigundo had hope of restoring all his sight.
"I have been with Guillermo Rigundo at his house for the past two days and I can attest to the fact that Guillermo Rigundo is recovering very well. Although Guillermo Rigundo did suffer burns on his face and eyes, his corneas and macula were not ruptured, so he did not lose much of his strength. However, the current Guillermo Rigundo cannot withstand the glare. Osvaldo Nordlow explained.
According to Osvaldo Nordlow's predictions, Guillermo Rigundo's injured eye tissue would soon recover. In the absence of an accident, Guillermo Rigundo will regain 100% of his vision after combined treatment, which is what Guillermo Rigundo's family and team want.
Although Osvaldo Nordlow was confident in Guillermo Rigundo's physical recovery, the accident had a great impact on Guillermo Rigundo. Alex Bornote, Guillermo Rigundo's agent, said in an interview with reporters that the accident completely disrupted Guillermo Rigundo's game plan.
"In any case, this accident is a heavy blow for Guillermo Rigundo as we are already preparing for the upcoming August match. Now everything doesn't matter, I just hope he will heal as soon as possible. Only when Guillermo Rigundo has fully recovered his sight can we make a decision about his future. Alex Bornott told reporters.
Although I don't like Guillermo Rigundo's running style of play, I still hope that Guillermo Rigundo will recover soon. Whether or not he can play is a small matter now, because Guillermo Rigundo has received all the honors that a boxer can get (Olympic gold medal, world champion gold belt), so as long as he can come back healthy.
