Even though Valero went out like a ***** by killing his wife first, the memorial 10-count is used to recognize tragic losses to the boxing world. If this situation doesnt qualify as a tragedy, I dont know what does.
A 10-count in no way endorses his actions, it merely signifies the loss to the boxing community. And I'm sure there would be plenty of commentary behind it so as not to give anyone the impression that his actions are approved by the network or anyone else.
Carlos Monzon got a 10 count. So did Arguello, Gatti, and Mitch Halpern. Although the last 3 didnt kill anyone but themselves, and there are still doubts about the Gatti situation. But if Don King can get in the Boxing Hall of Fame, then surely Valero can get a 10 count.
10-counts are NOT a character reference.
the 10-count should be for his wife, not for valero himself.
