If he only made it to Cuba...

[RA-Box]

...the lives of the children could have been salvaged. People can make the arguement that this was unavoidable, but imagine, if he had made it to rehab in Cuba. Surely there, he would have been a bit free from the pressures and constant attention in his native Vanezuela.

There, the doctors and specialists would have tuned in to the brain iinjuries and the madness that was boiling just beneath the surface.

There, he would have gotten the assistance he needed, even if it meant never boxing again.

Damn Edwin. I used to watch you and see the face of an unstoppable champion. A true Incan warrior. Now, I can't even look at photos of you anymore. I can see the madness now and it scares me.

We are all flawed. You and your wife have already found peace. May your children find peace now.

yep, there are a lot of coulda would shoulda's in this sad story.

he was set to leave to cuba and had that bizarre sequence of events of crashing his car and having the police chase him, then take him home. If he could have just made it through the day maybe he would be receive proper care for his problems.

You think he is going to find peace after killing his wife..?

what? That's not what I'm saying at all.

TS was saying that if valero went to cuba his wife would still be alive.

Who knows what would have happened, just a pointless "What if" scenario.

Was he mentally ok? or just an alcoholic

I don't think Cuba would have helped... After look back on it, i think he was passed the point of help, things were excalating too quickly.

Its weird to look at the story in retrospect, its seems very obvious that it wasn't going to have a positive outcome.

but at the time of the previous events i remember only thinking "I hope this dumbass doesn't **** up his career"

I think that line of thinking made it difficult to see that there was actually a larger, scarier side to the story.

obviously he was mentally fuucked. Alcohol just made things that much worse. severe depression + alcohol never ends positive.

Well it's hard to say. I mean he didn't receive much care at all, as far as I know he may have had some drug & alcohol rehab for 2 weeks, and that's it. When he really needed to be treated much deeper than that. Whether or not he would have received proper care in Cuba is obviously unknown.
