I wonder what would be going on in the LW division (or even Jr WW) right now if he was still around... Thoughts?
He's a **** and hope he's rotting in hell. He's not worth praise or even contemplating what he could have been.
Complete piece of ****, although would love to see him and maidana go at it, both big sluggers with little or no defence. ****s
Cleaned it out. Valero was the goods between the ropes. (No fighter @135/140 could have ****ed with him)
I was actually very suprised how little attention his story received when the '2010 year in review' articles were being published.
Edwin Valero had the potential to be an all-time great, in my opinion. He showed against DeMarco that he was much more than a banger. He had boxing skill, stamina, heart and could hit like a truck.
SHO had that fight on last night and I watched it. It was kind of surreal to see him in the ring doing what he did best. It was also a little disturbing to see his wife and kids at ringside watching that fight, now knowing that in a short time she would be killed by him and he'd take his life afterwards. What a ****ed up situation for his kids. Here's a tip to anyone contemplating a murder/suicide. Do the suicide first.
