This was the best recap yet. I had never heard of Valero before. Thank you!

@kendaddi5857 5 месяцев назад

Wow! How is it that I never heard of Valero? I have been a boxing fan for decades but perhaps because most of us concentrate on the heavy weight division we miss a lot of drama that happens in the lighter weight categories. It’s such a pity how Valero ended. It’s so sad that his habits and anger issues destroyed him eventually. Here’s my analysis. Valero is one of the most complete boxers I ever watched. His foot work and balance was unbelievable. Superb. He had hand speed that is unbelievable. Though a south paw he had lethal blows from both hands. His combination of punches was just phenomenal. He had everything a boxer needed skill wise to go far. However the brain injury he had re-set his centre for emotions and impacted his life in many ways. First, it made him fearless and very courageous in the ring, brutally tackling all his opponents toe to toe and demonstrating inhuman strength and energy even in later rounds of a match. So in this stead it worked to his advantage. However the second effect was more negative. It accounted for his emotional imbalance, and for his drinking and drug habits. It accounted for his domestic violence and even the suicide that he eventually committed. It’s unlikely that he would have been so lethal in the ring were it not for the brain injury, granted he actually had superlative boxing skills. Finally, I think he should have remained banned from boxing until properly rehabilitated for the effects of his brain injuries. The Americans were right.

One of the biggest reasons Valero was such a fearsome fighter is that he was actually insane. And I hate to say it, but in boxing, that can help.

@frankthetank8216 5 месяцев назад

Definitely

@redghettosun 5 месяцев назад

To make it to the elite level of this sport I think insanity is a prerequisite. Basically, to be ready to die in the ring. Some boxers try to feign insanity but those who are truly crazy are easy to spot. Valero's pain threshold was seemingly off the charts which gave him the edge, at least with the level of fighters he fought up to that point.

@bretfisher7286 5 месяцев назад

@@redghettosun Very well said. We don't often talk about this, of course, since it would sort of blow the game-- boxing wants very much to seem rational and orderly. But it's not. It's made largely of near-psychopaths being dragged around by a ring in their nose by con men. Not always, of course, but very commonly. It's one of the best environments for a psychopath to enter. He can be paid handsomely for his affliction.

@redghettosun 5 месяцев назад

@@bretfisher7286 Yes, there are levels of crazy or psychopathy. It's possible that pain brings out a different gear in these type of fighters. Not the fear of losing as much. It's a gladiator sport so bloodlust comes into it. Of course, the truly damaged can't leave this behind them in the ring after the fight is over. In Valero's case, it was his medical condition. Him being a hero to Venezuela and a friend of the president there was a death sentence to his wife. She probably wanted to leave him but couldn't.

Valero lived a short, crazy life. As hard and brutal as Pacquiao's and it seemed he was on a path to being a legend himself. It's obvious he had an undiagnosed condition exacerbated by the vicious sport he was in. From a boxing standpoint it's hard to assess Valero completely as he never faced the elites in his division. He did have all the requisites to be world class though which was: 1. An iron chin 2. Power in both hands 3. Speed and 4. He had the dog in him that would never give up.

Ya it's called C.T.E. which puts athletes who have it in an mental induced psychosis disreality where hallucinations pair up with unequivocal aggression that in this psycho active state of mind transfers into the parameters of extreme paranoia featherwd by a plethora of violence.. This concoction becomes their reality while consequently being under an incantation like feeling over them where at this point they typically murder then realize later conscientiously what they did (killed his wife) then ultimately commit suicide unfortunately like what we witnessed here with him in extreme clinical depression by himself behind bars begging for someone to talk to him trapped in his buddy realizing what he did while taking his own life to escape the tragedy of C.T.E. that he had.. It's definitely a sad and sadistic situation to say the least because being in that state of mind and believing what's circulating around u, then acting accordingly into the illusions & hallucinations of the disreality that is a temporary reality in the crazy moment subsequently to them to again murdering his wife.. All of this because of getting hit in the nogan to the point of ur brain going off like a Volcano eruption in ur head to the point where absolutely no buddy is home..

@nagone11 5 месяцев назад

@@jamiecrawford7220 The NFL has a very large issue with this, some of the former players who have passed away subsequently were diagnosed with CTE post mortem, like Junior Seau who committed suicide and before he died he had beaten his girlfriend, it seems Aaron Hernandez who was involved in murders and who later took his own life and other players were all suspected of or had CTE. Serious head trauma was responsible. In the NFL today, has Concussion Protocols, where a player who has his bell rung has to sit out for a mandatory period before they can resume practice or play, which could possibly induce further brain injury without a healing period. Valero's brain was seen as damaged when he first tried to get a boxing license here in the USA and was denied. They knew he had suffered serious damage previously, but the industry itself permitted this young man to continue. This without doubt aided in the worsening of his condition, he had been showing very serious signs of psychosis in his earlier outbursts and fits of madness. A very sad and tragic story, in many ways this could have been avoided but it wasn't.

Used to see him daily at the Grand Olympic Boxing Club in early 2000’s. Was weird at the time watching the cameras recording his sparring when he wasn’t known while other named fighters didn’t get that. Then after watching the sparring with the Antillion brothers (spelling?) and Santa Cruz I saw what the hype was about. Have see Manny in person and believe he would’ve beaten him. I was in room the day of the sparring with that counter combo and was standing out of frame in door to other room with muy Thai bags and other ring. I saw that counter combo and they had to stop the sparring. Valero was like nobody I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen easily 20+ top level champions in person in boxing alone, not including my Thai. Dudes eyes were dark and hollow like a great white and when he sparred it was like throwing chum and watching the destruction. Have watched most of best 90’s - early 2000 fighters in person and he was by far the most ominous. It was bizarre.

This dude must have went through some stuff. No sympathy that he became an abusive psychopath, but alarm bells that he looked age 45 at 20.

Indeed. The list of serial killers and murderers etc that got accidental head injuries when younger and people said they changed for the worse is crazy. A friend of mines husband had moist swings and Bouts of being hostile / intimidating- his sister told her he fell off a swing as a boy , banged his head and yes , changed .

@serenityinside1 Valero was already violent before the accident though.He committed armed robbery and gang violence before.

Remember don't judge because life happens to everyone. Obtaining a head injury didn't help any.

Those qualities that made him prevail in the ring were what defeated him outside the ring, the same as Carlos Monzon.

A Showdown with Pacquiao would've been something really big. But that Brain Damage due to that Accident sealed his Fate. RIP to him ...

Someone I'd really love to see a video on is Canelo Alvarez. One of my favorite boxers to watch fight. Perfect head movement that's just on another level, with punches that do enough for him to win.

Women need to remember that once your touched by the one that "loves you" very seldom does it get any better. Luckily I learned early that when you say "I love you" it also means,"I will also protect you" meaning from everything and everyone to the best of my ability. And you never physically harm another female again. Unless it's to protect you and your's.

I watch boxing and boxing channels all the time and I say this with a clear and clean heart, your commentary is the best in the business, filled with acerbic humour and peppered with burlesque and pithy remarks. Well done brother. Wade J. Goodwin, Johannesburg, South Africa

Anyone else heard the commentator say that's another version of Pacquiao? This dude could have been amazing unfortunately he lived hard and fast like his fights.

What horror his poor wife must've experienced. He didn't want a wife and partner, he wanted someone to control at his every whim. She could not escape his grip very likely due to threats. WHT??! Not even her family could save her??!! So sad.

I love you guys! Best fighting channel! My humble opinion, it would be nice to quote the phrase. In this case, "mastering others is strength mastering yourself is true power" Lao Zi or Laozi, also known as Lao-Tzu and Lao-Tze.
