Would Edwin still be alive if he was allowed to fight in the US?

cocaine is a hella of a drug

His DUI charges where the hold up for his visa, so he did it to himself. Alcoholism is serious sh!t.

he was actually doing good at the stage !!!!

The whole situation is a ****ed up one, especially for his wife and child. Words can't explain what this piece of shit has done.

If he was allowed to fight here I can't say wheither or not he'd be alive, but maybe his wife would be. Because he would have been locked a long time ago,

Just a thought... Rest In Peace Jennifer Carolina. not to make excuses for the guy, but Valero's manager stated that the problems and abuse mostly began when Valero was denied Visa to the U.S. so yes most likely if he was allowed in, he would be alive and things would be going ok for now. However, don't take that to mean that I put blame on the U.S. Valero supposedly when he WAS in the U.S., got a DUI drunk driving charge in Texas so he dug his own grave by ****ing up and being an alcoholic.

Valero was reported to have drug and alcohol problem so it doesn't matter if he fought in the US or not. Valero would just train for a weeks(acclimation) in the US and then fight. After that go back to Venezuela and resume his addiction.

Nobody knows , but he would have been the same person and would have done something crazy eventually.

if arum got him a fight with bradley or peterson, valero would have been still alive..... alive, mebbe...but that zero would have evaporated

if arum got him a fight with bradley or peterson, valero would have been still alive.....

By Gabriel F. Cordero No one knows the proper words to express the pain we feel for Edwin Valero and his wife Jennifer Carolina. Although it was Valero fighting in the ring, the whole country of Venezuela shared the experience with him. Through him many learned what it means to be a fighter. We all knew his victories and knockouts, but Edwin Valero, the great boxer, was still a human being with virtues and vices. I knew the private man, parent, friend and citizen. He was under a lot of pressure to be in big fights and to get an American visa, which were fast becoming his main priority over self-esteem and his family. It’s impossible to understand, explain or justify how or why this tragedy occurred, but no one deserves this disastrous end. We can only feel a deep sadness and tell Jenny and Edwin they’ll find the final answer in God. Friends forever…
