Yordenis Ugas said he was a 'perfectly fine" against Manny Pacquiao
However, conspiracy theories circulating online suggested that Ugas had sustained an injury to his left bicep after it appeared to be swelling.
Ironically, his left hand was what helped him score victory thanks to an expert jab.
Ugas also addressed any fears that he had made a mistake in his physical preparations for the fight at the post-fight press conference.
His translator stated: "That's boxing. You've got lots of trash guys like Rick Glaser who make comments or make rumours.
"That's boxing, he was perfectly fine, and if his left handed was so terrible why did he neutralize him with his left?
"That's what won it, the left-hand."
Pacquiao (42), was back for the first time since July 2019, when he defeated Keith Thurman (32).
He refused to say if it would be his last fight, hinting that retirement might follow.
Pacquiao said, "I don’t know." Let me first rest and then relax to decide if I will continue fighting or not.
However, PacMan was offered a second chance at his WBA belt by Ugas, a classy Ugas who came in with two weeks notice for Errol Spence Jr.
He stated, "He can have another match.
"Two hundred percent, Manny's great legend, a great fight. He'd like a rematch. It is a great legend that deserves it.
