Cheers to PDL. It's been a fantastic career for him, he has not lost any fans for all the wars he gave.. I think he accomplish a LOT and changed as a fighter throughout his career. He became an excellent boxer after relying on blasting out guys 1 x 1. Best of Luck. He could surely be a trainer with his knowledge of the sport

I thought he was going to retire after losing to JM Lopez but I understand he still wanted to try one last time. I am glad that he is finally taking the decision and I know he is already a commentator for ESPN Spanish so in a way he'll continue linked to boxing. I think Daniel winning or losing always had very entertaining fights. Thanks and enjoy your retirement.
