Wow. Valero was 27-0 with all knockouts.

The rationale behind such acts just totally escapes me sometimes. It just seems like an incredible waste.

Good riddance.
If that judge had jailed him earlier maybe his wife Jennifer Viera would still be alive.
I have no sympathy for woman/wife beaters.

Article says he was a household name in Venezuela...........................that will bring comparisons to the great middleweight champion Carlos Monzon.
He was an icon in that country too...................................he was also a wife beater................................he threw his second wife from their balcony to her death, he was imprisoned for that act in 1989, a few years later while on a weekend release he died in a crash on the way back to the jail. Some believe he committed suicide but there is no evidence suggesting that he crashed on purpose.

Bad things happen to bad people.
