Yes, no one wants to end his boxing career in retirement just after a loss and he wants a grand ending before his retirement.
But psychologically, whether he wins or loses and he's really into that decision of retiring. No one can stop him but it's just a better result if he wins against Inoue so that at least they have a 1-1 record and a win for his retirement.
Adding to that, he will be retiring with a great pride if he beats Inoue on their rematch.
That's another accomplishment adding to his name, another belt to be added. We never know what would be his
next move after this upcoming fight.
Whether he win or lose, if his camp decided to retire, there's nothing to ask from him. He gives the pride to our
country and he will always be remembered as one of pinoys pride from this sport.
Yup, that's self-esteem to him and at least he's able to beat Inoue. He's one of the best boxers that I've ever known too. In this upcoming match, most fans are going to think that it's really his last match.
Whether it approves or disapproves, all of his fans are going to like what he's done for his entire career. And he's going to retire with happiness, maybe even in defeat.
