He do this, he [is] like 35 years old [36 years old as of January 19th], and I think it\u2019s the perfect moment for him to finish career. So he don\u2019t; like he say, he don\u2019t want to get beat up from some new people, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new generation people come there, fresh with less miles, and just beat him up for the end of the career. This is no good. You know, like a couple people do this.
