Edwin Valero commits suicide after murdering his wife

Many usual boxing aficionado may not have been familiar with the champ Edwin Valero prior to news of the murder of his wife and his suicide, but it was evident that behind such a ferocious boxing ability lay a man with a dark and troubled mind.

The 28-year-old boxing sensation soon to be killed himself in the early hours of Monday morning after admitting to murdering his 24-year-old wife Jennifer by stabbing her to death in their hotel room at the Inter Continental Hotel in the city of Valencia. Edwin was arrested for the murder and took his own life by hanging himself in his prison cell in Caracas using his own clothes.

As a boxing fighter Valero was never the big name he deserved to be in boxing. He really sighed to fight in the United States where big names and huge prize awaits. He was unable to obtain a boxing license in the US, the capital of the fight game, due to a motorcycle accident in 2001 in which he sustained damage to his brain after crashing at high speed without a helmet. The state of Texas was the only one which would grant him a license, but after being charged with drink driving there, Valero was refused a visa to enter the United States.

This is a sad story on boxing since many were looking forward for his next victorious quest in boxing and to soon fight with the current P4P king Manny Pacquiao.

Is Shane Mosley getting to Floyd Mayweather Jr?

Mayweather vs Mosley - “We just want to get on. I mean the fans wanna see a great fight, me and “Money” Mayweather. Let’s get this on!” says Shane Mosley one sat night in Sept of 2009. Since then something has been creeping more and more into my mind. Is it me or is Shane Mosley actually getting to Floyd Mayweather Jr?

Since that Sept day, boxing has seen one great big fight to date. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto bout solidified Pacquiao’s throne as king. Shane (after getting no response from Mayweather or Pacquiao for a future fight) would sign on to a later canceled fight with Andre Berto. From there let’s just fast foward to the Mosley-Mayweather.

First thing I noticed is this fight didn’t happen till the Pacquiao fight was called off by Manny Pacquiao and his promotion because of the drug testing demands by Mayweather. Regardless that’s another story. However, in my opinion, this forced Mayweather into a fight with Mosley as any other opponent would have proved Mayweather’s cowardice to boxing fans, especially since Mosley was without a dance partner at exactly the same time. Gratefully, Mayweather-Mosley contracts would get signed. Mosley would sign his part of the deal right away, while Mayweather stalled one week before signing his as well as putting a clause that called for a re-match if he lost.

But whatever, the fight was signed and now official. Hence comes the promo tour and even better than that, there first face off. But again what happens, Mayweather-Mosley get into a scuffle that clearly show Mosley as the one who was stronger and even in control of Mayweather’s own hands at one point (even dodging a punch as if it was a breeze). To me right there and then one thing was very clear, Mayweather would not be taunting and bullying this opponent like he did so many others, and more importantly Mayweather knew it. Now, Mayweather has said everything he can about Mosley (from past PED use to how Mosley dresses, etc) and yet all Mosley does is speak calm, cool, collected and with confidence, repeating the words, “May 1st will be Mayweather’s first loss!”

I’ll never forget how pissed off Mayweather seemed on the 24/7 show when talking about how Mosley said Mayweather told him he “wanted to be like him when he get’s up in the ranks.” In fact, I don’t think I ever seen Mayweather this intent on trying to discredit his opponent bitterly than this 24/7 (and its only been 1 episode!). Again, Mosley just seems calm and collected,”Let him say whatever he wants, just get in the ring May 1st, that’s all I want”.

Something is brewing and I honestly feel we as fans are in for probably one of the biggest moments in boxing history. Who r u picking? I dont think so! Forget what you heard about age, speed, power, etc. Mosley is ready and more focused than I ever seen, and to me Mayweather looks to be a lil nervous than usual. My prediction, May 1st will be Mayweather’s first LOSS!

Mayweather versus Mosley Rivalry

Watch Mayweather vs Mosley - Along with many other professional or Olympic athletes, Mosley has been connected to the BALCO Labs steroid scandal. It is perhaps just right to undergo him and his rival Mayweather with such random tests. Jeff Novitzky, a lead investigator on the BALCO case, reported that documents seized from the lab show that Mosley received "the clear" and "the cream", both designer steroids. Shane Mosley reportedly began his doping regimen prior to his past 2003 bout with De La Hoya, a match that he won due in part to his strong performance in the later rounds of the fight.

Although Mosley admitted that he has been using this illegal substance, he had made it for a comeback fight and still being the super fighter in boxing. May 1st, 2010 could be another quest for him to win to surpass his undefeated rival Mayweather. 

The Olympic Random Drug Tests had already been rendered to both fighters and nothing was wrong with them. It is really Floyd whom is pursuing with such demand to make these random tests and made that possible match up with Pacquiao a misfortune. Huge amount of money have gone by to say NO for this Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. Both camps have their own beliefs and it should be respected of course. As a result, no mega fight will took place in the near future.

But who knows what will happen if Mosley beats up Mayweather? Or what will happen if the Mayweather-Mosley fight will not hit in PPV and ticket sales? (But I doubt) Will Mayweather be forced to take the fight just for the money? If Mosley ain’t getting much money, then for sure Pacquiao will.

Watch Mayweather vs Mosley Fight Online to backup these crazy talks that we are hearing. The real talk is on the ring. If you are beaten by somebody then it is something to look on. Who R U Picking?

NEXT: Mayweather vs Mosley Fight

This April 3rd clash involving aging stars Bernard Hopkins (50-5-1, 32 KO’s) and Roy Jones Jr. (54-6, 40 KO’s), is splendidly has very little buzz about this fight among boxing internet sites. It sounded that the fight isn’t happening at all since very little is being said about the fight. Luck of popularity it may seems. Being popular as these two fighters were in the past, it’s categorical amazing to see how little attention the fight is getting in the media plus the fact that the cost of the fight is as high as watching one of the Pay per view bouts for stars like Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Yes folks! The Hopkins-Jones fight will cost PPV viewers as much as $49.95 to see it. It is normally matches of a champion against a top contender to spend this amount. Is it fair to have this one since we haven’t seen these two fighters box these days? I hope that they will give a fair fight to give fans a reliving aura in paying and watching for this one. 

Oh it’s been 17 years ago since the last time Hopkins and Jones fought, and that fight I think was not exactly a thrilling bout to watch at all. You will see that Jones injures his right hand early in the bout, and had to fight with frequently his left from the 2nd round till 12. Of course Jones showed brilliant hand speed and moved well in the fight to keep out of the way of Hopkins. Then again, Roy Jones was able to dominate their last fight. 

Now you can watch Hopkins vs Jones Fight and see how interesting is it to see what kind of PPV numbers the second fight between them brings in? Probably it wont make huge one since the fight has luck of attention specially the power of the media to bring it to the public. But who knows? I do hope they have both fans still that help them boost these numbers to help them uplift their fight records.

Some boxing fans would like nothing better for Roy Jones to stop boxing, and feel that he’s going to be beaten by Hopkins this April 3rd. Watch Hopkins vs Jones 2 Fight Online the rivals.
