Wow, shocking stuff. I feel for the kids now. He must have had some very, very serious issues. I cant help but think more could have been done after he bashed her to prevent this tragedy.

This is a sick travesty and will be the biggest waste of talent of all time.

Edwin Valero RIP 27-1-0 one loss to his demons.

Condolences to family, their tragedy has been brought upon them through no fault of their own.

His omission from boxing will be missed, however you may feel about him.

R.I.H Rest in Hell Edwin Valero, I like you as a boxer and I really started to like you. But what you did to your wife is unforgivable.... that's all I have to say

RIP Edwin Valero

I just woke up and saw this, and you know what? I didn't blink at all. There is no shock in this, and I knew this would happen. Anyone with half a brain (which I knew Venezualan police didn't have) saw this coming, and knew suicide watch is a must for such a prisoner. Whatever man. His chapter is done, and I'll have to hear how great he was for the rest of my life. His legend will disgustingly grow and grow because of his padded record. Great without facing one world class opponent? Bull****. R.I.P. to his wife, and condolences to all the family, friends, countrymen, and fans that were effected by these tragic occurrences.

good call on that homie,(in the bolded area) ,i was thinking the same thing. but none the less ,its over and just move on..whats bad is stories something similiar to this isnt the first and def wont be the last, sad to say whether it be high profile athletes or regular people in the streets,

What he did was unforgivable man..

But i totally agree people around the Family should have ****ing done something, my Uncle is a police officer and he has to sort out alot of domestic abuse situations. He said it's ****** the amount of times these girls wont press charges after being beaten by there man.

Puncturing her lung and beating her up should have given the people around them a huge wake up call that something was very wrong, specially when she blamed it on falling down stairs.

I agree with the majority of your post, but these people lived in fear of Valero. First he had connections, second, he had threaten to kill even his own children. In some countries, women do not have the protection that women have in the US, like restraining orders and so forth. Eventhough, women constantly get killed in the US with or without restraining orders. Her and her family were in fear and knew that with his connections, they had no place to hide. This guy was a disturbed individual and if she left, he wourl retaliate against her family. Even his mother feared him.

May they RIP, I consider him a piece of crap, but he is gone now and we do not know what kind of demons had taken over him.
