Valero in rehab

Wasnt voluntary dude the judge ordered it after he confessed to being alcoholic. He was accused of beating up his wife though she didnt press charges. Man with this guy its 1 controversy after the other. Its a shame like u say hes 1 explosive fighter!

 

Another wasted talent.

 

The man needs help. He'll be back on track

I'm sure peterson ,bradley,maidana etc are pissed they all gotta wait.

 

Even when beating his wife he did not neglect to go to the body.

But in all seriousness he's an idiot if he wastes his talent this way.

 

These posts are such bad taste...but they always crack me up.

 

Ike part 2 here we come.

 

His power is well overrated.

 

Is he an alcoholic then? Or just a knob who uses alcohol as an excuse to beat women? Coz I cant imagine him being an alcoholic, how does he box drunk?

 

He's probably just an excuse making, record padding, overhyped ***** IMO :deal

 

I just read dougies mail bag and I found out some new info on edwin valero! He was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago and apparently he was very delusional! Edwin thought his wife was cheating on him with his younger brother. Edwin stopped taking his anti-phychotic medication and started using heavy drugs...

 

Im going to post the info from dougies mail bag,


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.

Let’s hope he has the power of self-control or the willingness to get help if he ever needs it. That was Valero’s downfall.

 

It's so ****ed up. The guy had the raw materials to be an ATG. The paralells with Pac were uncanny. Viscious, powerful and fast. Just a bit too aggressive and unpolished. He could have been up there amongst the best. It;s messed up. I know someone who is a victim of schizophrenia, it's horrible to see, a clever, funny, outgoing person become a shell of themselves. It's a **** story, nothing worse than seeing someone with so much talent **** it all away, but its the same in every sport. The best sportsmen usually never became as great as they should have. Doing a "George Best" is common place.

 

:huh How the hell was this guy allowed to fight? Everything about him points to a disaster in the ring and unfortunately one outside of it as well
