yeah, read it in another forum. if it's true it's one tragedy after another. such a waste of talent and future.
Jesus christ, I had just finished reading the murder thread and now this! I'm gobsmacked. What was this all about? The guy was showing serious promise and he blows it all in the space of a few days? Not only blown it, but full on ended it. All very, very sad. :(
holy f*ck
This is just devestating, i tipped this guy to rule at lightweight for years to come and now his dead!!!!!!!!!!!!
:(:(:(
it's bouncing round twitter.
I'm in shock!
Shit that's what you call having a bad weekend.
Had no idea he was a mental case until earlier this week, now he's murdered his girl and killed himself.
Tragic waste, loved him as a fighter.
I wonder what issues he had, a lot of inner demons by the sounds of it.
I hope this isn't true because i was kinda hoping he would go to prison and waste the tax payers money :rolleyes:
Holy shit man..... This thing just gets even crazier...... Truly speechless now..... What the f**k......
Nuts.
He was nuts, obviously.
It's a shame, but he ended up being a killer, and a coward. There's no place in the sport for that.
His wife is the real victim.
and just as expected he took the pussy way out and couldn't even man up to what he did, i hope that the piece of shit burns in hell
Can't believe it.
really bad :o
I don't know whether a R.I.P. is deserved considering his crimes just yesterday.
This shit is getting crazy by the minute.
Oh well, rip Valero and his wife.
Its a crazy world we live in!
RIP Mrs Valero
I'm gonna have a guess here......
Maybe she was cheating on him and he just flew into a mad rage and stabbed her :-\
Big Loss for boxing.
This is truely unbelievable! Took the cowards way out. An injustice to the poor wife and her family. He was clearly a very troubled man. No matter what excitement he caused in the ring he is a true monster.
I am trully shocked!
If they have kids which I think they do then they are going to be fucked up for life by this.
Valero,what a selfish cunt!!!
Will he be regarded at the biggest puncher in boxing history ?
27 fights 27 ko's?
Great shame he threw it all away.
hate to say it, but i called this shit in another thread that he would be dead or in prison just recently in another thread about this guy. didn't expect it to be like this though. absolute craziness
Shocking news.
I no what he did to his wife was wrong but I can't help but feel pity for him. He must of been a troubled soul. Does anyone no what kind of upbringing he had. This all would make for a great film. Young boy climbs out of the slums to climb to the top of the boxing world, knocking out every one along the way. Only for his childhood demons to get the better him, leading him too self desruct, murdering his wife the killing himself, leaving the boxing thinking of what could have been
..a sad story all around reguardless of what actually happened. People take sports way too serious with all the i love this guy i hate this one. When it all comes down to it boxing, football, soccer etc don't really mean shit in the order of what's important in life. The guy and his wife were human, easy to sit back and say this and that about any of these fighters when none of us know nothing about them only what you read and see on t.v. I feel bad for them both and thier families. The job of the media is to sell and make money, if they wrote the truth you'd find out thier lives are really no different than most of ours and who wants to read about that. Bottom line I don't know the what, why, of what happened but my condolences to all. Especially the wife who seems to be an innocent victom.
Maybe his motorcycle accident when he got brain damage had something to do with the madness. Traumas to the brain can really send people physco.
Either way he took the pussys way out, its the kids I feel sorry for now they have no parents.
You know what ? GOOD RIDDANCE TO HIM !! I think this is a bit different to previous boxers dying early in life (Vernon Forrest, Diego Corrales). This guy KILLED his wife. Martial rows are just routine for top sportsmen, but taking a knife and killing your wife ? F**K HIM !! May he rot in hell.
Wow This is the first I am hearing this. Such a good talent and now gone. F**king shame.
This whole ordeal is tragic. Valero was set to be a star and all this breaks out. I can almost bet you Edwin had frontal lobe damage from boxing and his accident (I believe it was a motorcycle accident) that caused him to have a plate in his head, its either that or a chemical imbalance or both and of course his substance abuse....tragic
This just got confirmed by the BBC
BBC News - Venezuela boxer Edwin Valero found hanged in cell
The guy was knead with talent but he obviously had serious issues, especially as he knew he had to go for some detox in Cuba. It is a real shame that boxing is losing such piece of talent, it is a shame for him that he couldn't face what he has done and went the easy way and a real shocker overall.
