There is a boxing match between Aswin and Rakesh tomorrow. If Aswin won, he would be the Indian boxing champion for the third time.

I believe I could use either sentence with the context. In the first sentence, I am pretty hopeful that Aswin is going to win and in second sentence I am not hopeful that Aswin is going to win. Am I understanding correctly?
