Unbeaten two-division world champion Edwin Valero was involved in a traffic accident and a police chase on Friday in Mérida, Venezuela. There were no injuries but Valero, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, fled the scene of the accident. He was taken home by police. He later said that he fled because he felt harassed by the media and the general public. I reacted as anyone reacts to this situation, he stated. The champ promised to take care of the expenses of the other driver. Valero had been scheduled to leave later that day to Cuba with his wife, two children, trainer Mario Morales and adviser Segundo Lujano, where he would begin a rehabilitation program after recognizing his problems with alcohol and drugs. He had just been released Thursday after 14 days of rehab following another incident. Authorities are now reconsidering whether or not they should send Valero to Cuba for further rehab.
this guys done. even doug fischer the ****in valero bum bandit is cashing out- and saying valero "had" talent and "could" have beaten pac had he found the right trainer. a year ago he was ready to felate him on 'the next round'.
Valero is a ****ing idiot, who would act like this especially when you're a hero to so many. And have a lot more money to make.
This guy is living on the edge. He is beginning to spiral out of control. On the flip side, mentally unstable and disturbed individuals like Monzon, Tyson, Ibeabuchi, and Kirkland, and, now Valero, can be formidable fighters.
