Shaine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) yeh but considering he fought with one arm for 11 rounds, doesn't he get cut a little bit of slack? Â No, it's all in the game. Put up or shut up, many fighters have done the same the only difference is Audley will live off this for as long as he can.

Loki Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Boxing isn't a charity. He looked like shit for 11 rounds and threw one decent punch. Why should that equate to a World title shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Former boxing champ Edwin Valero committed suicide in his jail cell on Monday just hours after he was arrested in his wife's killing, police said. The former lightweight champion used his own clothes to hang himself in his cell early Monday, Venezuelan Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores told reporters. He said Valero tied his clothes to a cell bar to hang himself. Â He said Valero was found by another inmate, who alerted authorities in the police lockup in north-central Carabobo state. Valero still showed signs of life, but they were unable to save him, Flores said. Â The 28-year-old was detained Sunday on suspicion of killing his wife, the gravest in a string of problems that had threatened to derail his career. Prosecutors said Sunday night that they had planned to charge Valero after they found the body of his 24-year-old wife in a hotel in Valencia. Â The boxer left the hotel room around dawn Sunday and allegedly told security he had killed Jennifer Viera, Flores said. Â The fighter was a household name in Venezuela and had a huge image of President Hugo Chavez tattooed on his chest, along with the country's yellow, blue and red flag. Â His all-action style and 27-0 record _ all by knockouts _ earned him a reputation as a tough, explosive crowd-pleaser. Venezuelans called him "Inca," alluding to an Indian warrior, while elsewhere he was called "Dinamita," or dynamite. Â The former WBA super featherweight and WBC lightweight champion had been in trouble with the law before. Â Last month, Valero was charged with harassing his wife and threatening medical personnel who treated her at a hospital in the western city of Merida. Police arrested Valero following an argument with a doctor and nurse at the hospital, where his wife was being treated for a series of injuries, including a punctured lung and broken ribs. Â The Attorney General's Office said in a statement that Valero was detained March 25 on suspicion of assaulting his wife, but his wife told a police officer her injuries were due to a fall. When the boxer arrived moments later, he forbade Viera from speaking to the police officer, and spoke threateningly to the officer, prosecutors said in a statement. Â The Attorney General's Office said a prosecutor had asked a court to order Valero jailed but that the judge instead placed him under a restraining order that barred him from going near his wife, a condition he repeatedly violated.

BionicRedneck Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Tragic stuff. Â He'd clearly gone batshit a while ago and considering he'd suffered a massive head injury prior to his pro boxing career, I think it's safe to say he should never have been allowed to fight professionally.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 19, 2010 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2010 holy fucking shit! Â that's shocked me to the core. i was only reading today about his problems and his recent car accident. Â i became a fan of Valero the first time i saw him fight, brutal power puncher, solid chin and a great look...a lot of boxers fail to capture the imagination, Valero had no such problem, he was going to be a superstar. Â mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lawrence Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te4W_7MdRVA Â 3rd episode of 24/7 mayweather mosley - the whole series has been excellent. I think Mayweather will out point Mosley, maybe even a late stoppage if he goes at it full steam. I think he's to young and to accurate with his shots.
