Respect for the champ!

I think it's a good time to call it a career for him considering that he looked like he lacked the fire in his last couple of fights. I hope he can retire happily and permanently.

Best of luck in his post-boxing life and enjoy not having to go away from your family for long periods of training camps now!

I remember when they showed him crying in the fighters meeting for the Agbeko fight because he hadn't seen his family in weeks. I hope he earned enough to live well with his family for the rest of his life, he sure deserves it.

The Espinozas took great care of him

He's only been with Espinoza for his last two fights though, right?
He really deserved the Showtime tournament paychecks (I hope they were decent), secured it in that great great fight with Abner Mares (I still watch that every now and then...)
