This is a photo taken on February 4 this year in Monterrey before his fight with De Marco.
Someone may think that with that healthy face, that smile, gallantly taking to an amateur, Valero may have been under the influence of foreign chemicals? I ask the press and the good people to respect his memory and let him rest in peace. …… Only each human being knows what it takes in and should be respected, including the reasons for his deep depression that led him to seek a back door after his last great victory.
What is and what it continues to investigate what? Valero, in a inconvenient state problem was leaving his wife and then himself ,,,,,, what else is there to seek? lets remember that Edwin Valero was a pride of Venezuela, leaving a record ,,,,, virtually impossible to defeat, he win all his professional fights by knockout, 27 ,,,,, 27 ,,,,,, anyone in 300 years of Boxing history has ever achieved.
Venezuela is and always has been a brother nation of Mexico, a country which I have carried in my heart since my first steps into international boxing when I was still General Secretary of the WBC, pointing to a Venezuelan hero in Rafito Cedeño, my brother, Mexico opened the door twice to Edwin.
Just as the World Boxing Council, whose belt he carried with pride everywhere.
May he rest in peace and that both his glory and his terrible end, left as an example for youths.
Please let us remember the good ,,,,,, a great fighter with a heart of a lion that always entered the ring.
he was a boxer, not a priest.
