Edwin Valero is found dead

"I’m still in a funk regarding Valero’s death. I wouldn’t be shocked if some outside foul play was involved with the murder-suicide, but my gut tells me that Valero had spun hopelessly out of control from the time of his second title victory (vs. Antonio Pitalua). It all came crashing down with the violent quickness of one of his right hooks.

I was recently talking to a South American source of mine, who was close to Valero for many years until they had a falling out (which happened with most of the fighter’s friends and advisers). He told me that Valero suffered from “ezquizofrenia.” I’d never heard of it, but he told me it was the Spanish word for schizophrenia -- a severe psychotic disorder characterized by a loss of contact with reality and disintegration of the personality. He told me Valero was diagnosed with it when he returned to Venezuela following his stay in Japan.

He told me Valero was on medication to treat the illness for a time but he took himself off of it and it wasn’t long before he was “self-medicating” with every illegal drug known to man. My friend said Valero had become increasingly paranoid and hostile around his own family. He thought his younger brother was having an affair with his wife. No kidding, Valero was off on some Jake LaMotta s__t. Rumor has it Valero and his younger brother, Luis, got into a fight over this allegation before the Antonio DeMarco fight and I was told that Luis knocked Edwin out.

By the way, Luis, who is 19 and has had some amateur fights, is planning to turn pro. He’s a 130 pounder and I’ve been told he’s got Edwin’s power with the moves of Jorge Linares. His nickname is “El Poder,” The Power."

Why the hell are you guys depressing me all over again? No one bump this thread again!

 

You beat me to it!! I was just about to post this..... Dougies friday mail bag! Thats some crazy ****

 

Edwin Valero is a coward! He's a ****ing disgrace to men as a whole for what he's done.:-(

 

So valero had schizophrenia! That explains alot..... He was delusional and he had anti-social behavior. I guess he really thought his wife was doing things with his younger bro. I doubt luis valero knocked out edwin?? Could dougie be trying to hype up luis?

 

**** you, hes dead! yet your still judging him! I think your the coward

 

That's a very reasonable post. Well done. I knew there were some serious mental issues behind this, not that I am excusing it. Just more explaining it.

 

I won't defend what he did, but if you had an understanding of mental illness you wouldn't make a post like that. Anyone can lose their mind, even the most good natured people (not saying Valero always was)

 

So does anyone think luis valero could be any good??

 

Says the guy with his avatar...Says a lot about you a man when you support a guy that beats his wife and mother. On top of that he kills her then hangs himself because he's to much of a COWARD to deal with what he's done...Dont judge me because I'm not big on a ****ing scumbag that beats women, and then kills himself...Dismiss me with that **** ****boy!

He laid his own grave hoe, and you have the ****ing audacity to come to me like I'm the one who killed...Shut the **** up with that garbage ****.

Go key somebody car you ***** made boy!:good Sorry piece of ****! **** you and Valero!

 

I'm sorry buddy, thats not an excuse IMO, he could have gotten himself help.

I'm just not big on a guy that beats his wife and mother...Sorry, not gonna cut it! People have these issues day in and day out...It doesnt take much to ask for some medical help...SO for people to say its an illness is a excuse IMO...Not saying he didnt have an illness (mentally) but its on him to see about curing his illness!

 

He was my favorite fighter for like 5 years you ****ing tool! Just because I sport him in my avatar it doesnt mean that I condone murder you moron. I was a fan of what he did in the ring, he acted like a fighter in the ring!

Why do you a gay ass rapper in your avatar! Take that ghetto garbage down! Go steal some hub caps Boy!!!

 

People become so sick they don't have the where for all to get help. This isn't the time and place to into this so we'll agree to disagree. :good

 

At least I'm not the one who's beating on women and killing myself!

You stupid motha****a!:rofl

 

You have a gay man in your avatar counting his counter-feit money with his fake gold chain!! ...
