Great fighter, soon forgotten

**** Valero, I just wanna find out if I'm still going to hell!

 

Purgatory is being a Parra supporter. I'm already there.

 

No.. Not ever....Though some deserved it:bart

 

So your saying all people who suffer brain injuries turn out like Edwin Valero?? If that's true and with Neurosurgeons through the advancements of modern medicine allowing more people to live there is going to be alot of wife killing happening?
If his brain injury was that serious he wouldn't be allowed to fight. Good fighter **** of a human.

 

Valero was born in Bolero Alto but raised in El Vigia in Merida, Venezuela. He was poor street kid who got in trouble with the law at an early age. Perhaps it was there that his wild, live-for-today streak was first formed. In any case, Hernandez and Valero believed that it was boxing that kept him alive and out of jail for as long as it did.

“I think boxing straightened his life out,” said Hernandez. “That’s what he would tell me. Without boxing, he would probably be in prison or he would not be in this world. He always said that. He thanked boxing for that. He was a wild kid. He had a lot of respect for [me]. A lot of respect. I was grateful for that and that we were able to discipline him for the time that he was with us in L.A. I think he was a kid that was wild in Venezuela. I think he had a lot of contact with the law. I think he had a lot of problems as a youngster. I think his life was a street type of life. There were many times he would tell me ‘I was in a motorcycle gang. And what we did was [robbing and strong arming].’”
