Re: Edwin Valero arrested for murder of wife

the guy is an absalute class boxer,watched most of his fights and wins them all by knock out,he got a very nasty cut on the side of his head when he faced antonio demarco a few mounths ago.its a shame he is like this because he would take floyd mayweather and manny paq man off there throwns if he was to fight them and move up in weight.to be honest his behavoir in the past looks to me like hes on steroids and other drugs and supplements that are banned or illegal.what a waste but if true deserves to rot in jail.

Give over. He wouldn't have beaten Mayweather or Pacquiao. Powerful fighter but poor technical skills. His power probably wouldn't have been that telling at 147 either.

If all this is true i'm shocked. I know he'd been having a tough time, drink driving etc... and he'd had a few run ins with the law over the last month or so, but this is full on mental. Such a promising career ahead of him, what a waste.

Valero commits suicide
Undefeated welterweight champion kills himself after wife's murde



Unbeaten champion Edwin Valero has committed suicide in jail just 24 hours after admitting to killing his wife.

The 28-year-old had been staying in a hotel in his native Venezuela when he alerted security in the early hours of Sunday morning that he had stabbed wife Jennifer three times.

Valero, who successfully defended his WBC lightweight title two months ago, was detained by police and was expected to be charged with the murder.

However, he was found by a fellow inmate having tied his own clothes to a bar of his cell in an attempt to hang himself.

Valero, who was on the verge of the big time following 27 successive stoppage victories, still showed signs of life but authorities were unable to revive him.

The fighter had become a household name in Venezuela but had been in trouble with the law on several occasions, notably last month when he was charged with harassing his wife and threatening medical personnel who treated her at a hospital.

Police arrested Valero following an argument with a doctor and nurse at the hospital, where his wife was being treated for a series of injuries, including a punctured lung and broken ribs.

The Attorney General's Office said a prosecutor had asked a court to order Valero to be jailed but that the judge instead placed him under a restraining order that barred him from going near his wife, a condition he repeatedly violated.

Re: Edwin Valero arrested for murder of wife

How the fuck did he manage to kill himself in jail? What a waste of a fighter be it a nasty bastard on top of it. It reminds me a bit of Scot Harrison from Scotland a few years ago he had the boxing world at his feet but fucked it up ala Vakero by beating up everyone and anyone. Now hes locked up in a prision the waste of a world class fighter.

Harrison with the right guidance could of been a modern day legend, had so much going for him, granite chin, lovely smooth jab, quality on the counter and had the brawling capability of a duran, alas the dickhead was/is a piss can and pissed it up the wall....... now getting it off big dick bubble in E wing.

As for Valero, good solid fighter, nothing more, and to be honest just displayed the traits of a coward in the atrocious act and the aftermath........ fuck him

1 fight that I always wanted to see Harrison fight was against Prince Naz. Both were around the same time at or near to there peak but it never happend I think those 2 could of got a couple of fights between them as both were so talented. The British public were robbed that fight and to be honest I would of expected Harrison to have got the better of Naz.

Re: Edwin Valero arrested for murder of wife

Not making excuses for the guy at all, but as he already failed a scan in the past, is it a coincidence that his behaviour became markedly more erratic and violent in the weeks after his last fight? Could be that what marbles he had were crushed by an innocuous punch. Only speculating, but not a wild leap to wonder if the boxing authorities might have been responsible for two deaths here

Not really seen that before TBH Longsight, and there have been many boxers who have had head injuries that have either ended their career or affected their mental capacity.

One thing about some boxers (especially the good ones) is that their aggression was there at the beginning and boxing is merely seen as something to harness it.

I wouldn't be surprised (although I say this with no foundation) that tablets of some description may be playing a factor here.

Re: Edwin Valero arrested for murder of wife

its still not confirmed that valero died by hanging himself,apparently he was still alive when the police found him and they shot him.also apparnetly his wife was cheating on him and she reccieved a phone call off anouther fella,this was the final straw for a messed up in the head valero who has had a horendus child hood snap and kill her due to to his mental problems.he had a motorbike accident that crushed a few cells aswell,but before that he was already messed up in the head.
