Naoya Inoue lets Donaire borrow the trophy for a night for his sons

[SceneBoxer]

"Lastly, to my family, my heart. I am a warrior on my shield. I came to Japan to take the Muhammad Ali trophy. I promised my sons they would see it in the morning. And with tears in my eyes, I humbly asked Inoue to borrow it for a night, not for me but for my word. It'll be a life lesson my boys will soon learn. That you do your best and you come short. You will win. You will lose. But in either aspect you will do so graciously. It'll pain them to see my face. They'll kiss my wounds. They'll see a trophy we don't get to take home and understand what it means to want to train harder. And I told about the battle I fought. That I'd rather put my life on that sheild than give up. And that we will ALWAYS fight."

Very emotional.
But contradictory. If you have young children, you should not put your life on the line. Family first.

****** comment

It’s his job and probably pretty much all he knows

It’s like saying no fathers should be a cop or fire fighter or in the military or anything. Maybe they shouldn’t even drive a car incase they crash, maybe never even leave the house.
