Star Boxing Wishes Oscar
Diaz Continued Progress
February 24, 2009
(FEB 24) Oscar Diaz has been discharged
from University Hospital in San Antonio and has been moved to a local
rehabilitation facility. "He's doing remarkably well compared to when we
first saw him," stated neurosurgeon Dr. David Jimenez as quoted by the
San Antonio Express News. "He's totally alert. He's awake, smiles and
gives the 'thumbs up' sign. We're very happy with his progress." Diaz
suffered a near-fatal brain injury during his bout against Delvin
Rodriguez last summer.
"We are happy to hear about the progress that Oscar has already made and
just hope that he continues to get better and continues to improve. We
wish all the best for Oscar and his family in the future and want them
to know we will always keep Oscar in our thoughts," stated Joe DeGuardia,
CEO of Star Boxing.
"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about Oscar," stated
Delvin Rodriguez. "He is a great boxer and more importantly a great
human being. I will always keep Oscar and his family in my thoughts and
prayers."
Star Boxing matchmaker Ron Katz added, "I couldn't be more pleased to
hear of Oscar's progress, and I am very happy for Oscar who has shown
what a true champion is made of and also for his family who has stuck by
him throughout this tragic ordeal."
