Adonis let's him fight because it's his guilty way of trying to redeem himself to his friend. It's not his responsibility for Damian to win or not. He probably assumes he's going to lose but he's doing what Dame wants him to do. That's like a clear motivation. He lies to the Canelo Alvarez character and his mom...internal conflict and all that.

Throwing what amounts to an amateur boxer in the ring with the champ is a good way to get the amateur killed. It's a terribly dangerous thing to do to a "friend."
It's a friend he saw as like a god when he was little and was probably the most raw talented boxer he ever met. It's not rational, but I could see why that character would have too much believe in his friend. And the guy was in prison and gave up anything he ever had in his life. Fighting to be the world champ was all he wanted and all he devoted himself to, and he had nothing else. In the structure of that movie I could totally see why he did it. It's obviously silly that Dame could win that fight but I thought it made sense at least emotionally.
