I do not know much about boxing, maybe I have the basic notions of the history of that incredible sport.
But what I love is learning new things to write these publications, yesterday I was looking for interesting topics to investigate and I came across the story of Edwin Valero.
Venezuelan, born in the province of Valencia, Carabobo. A legend that touched the sky and had an end as tragic as an outcome of some work of Shakespeare.
Edwin was born as the third of eight children, in a totally dysfunctional family, with low resources and where violence and abuse were part of Edwin's daily life. Maybe that was the dynamite that allowed his boxing career to be that it was,
Edwin did not finish school and was a problem boy, he loved being in street fights. He stepped on a gym for the first time at the age of 12, that was the moment when his potential began to be discovered.
He quickly and fully became the best amateur fighter of all Venezuela for 3 years, reaching an amateur record with 86 wins and 6 losses, 45 were knock-outs. He was a God of blows, each fist was like a car hitting your head on.
That made him a clear target to enter the professional world of the box, his fights were brutal shows of violence and a great technique. The Inca Valero obtained a world record of 18 knockouts in the first round, none of his opponents could hold more than a standing round.
Halfway through his career, Valero suffered a motorcycle accident causing a fracture in his skull and requiring surgery to remove a blood clot that could have taken his life. This incident caused mainly by not wearing a helmet, according to other Venezuelans was the perfect excuse for the New York boxing committee to deny him the license so that he could fight in almost all of the United States.
A resonance was required as an examination as part of the medical requirement for the license, but when he saw irregularities in his skull and brain, he was totally prohibited from fighting in the United States.
Some say that the real reason for that was because of the close relationship that Inca Valero had with Hugo Chávez, the former president of Venezuela. Given the political conflicts that Venezuela has always brought with the government of the United States.
Also, it was had as a rule not to take any type of sign or signal that indicates political position because it can be the reason of conflicts, to which Valero responded with a tattoo in its chest of the flag of Venezuela and the Face of Hugo Chávez.
Also known as the "El dinamita" and "El diablo", each time he climbed into the ring he had an abysmal determination to win and was soaked with all the pain and suffering he had had during his first years of life, he used that pain in each hit, it was a beast totally because it did not take more than a few seconds to leave on the canvas to his opponents. He defended his title with an iron fist and raised the name of Venezuela to the whole world.
Maybe it was the Latin American boxer with the most promising career, Valero was a machine to fight because he was born to be always fighting. Although in the end the only fight he could not win was the one he had with himself and his problems, that determining and explosive attitude he had in the ring was also part of his daily life.
Inca Valero, given the social environment in which he grew up, had access from an early age to alcohol and other drugs, which he frequented much more as his career grew. The friends and sponsors who wanted to approach Valero did not find a better way to do it than to offer access to drugs that were a trigger for his personality.
A personality that would not have been such a big problem if the people around him had helped him, totally the death of Valero was a misfortune that could have been avoided.
but .. How did this legend die?
In the last 2 months of his life, Valero had had problems with his wife caused by the violence that ran through his blood. On March 25, 2010, Valero was arrested after being denounced by the doctors who treated his wife, who entered the hospital with several broken ribs and a perforation in the lung. She claimed that she had fallen off the stairs but the doctors knew that was unlikely and then Valero began to threaten them with hitting them (and we know what a coup from Valero could cause) if the news leaked to the media.
Valero had to detox because he had testified before the court that he was an alcoholic, but they also found traces of cocaine swimming in his blood.
The government of Venezuela was covering up the facts, not to mark the public image of Valero.
April 17 was the day that Inca Valero ended his career and marked the end of his life.
Arriving at a hotel in his hometown along with his wife, he kept talking with her in the hotel lobby and then decided to go up to the room. After shouting and total silence, Valero went down to the hotel staff and confessed to the violent scene that had taken place in the room assigned to them.
The security guards went to the room to confirm the facts and found the body of his wife with several stab wounds. Mainly his right arm was hit with a hammer and his eyes ripped with violence.
Valero was arrested and sentenced for murder, the news flew around the world and the media was filled with speculation. Just 2 days later, Valero was found hanged in his cell with his own clothes.
It is very sad to see the story of a star that shined and reached the sky but did not have the help or the company that really needed to continue to shine, as I said it was a tragedy that could have been avoided and unfortunately we can not see everything of what the "Inca Valero" was capable

Golden-Thunder Daily Curation# 33 + Update
Welcome to another day in which we reviewed the posts voted for the curation initiative "Golden Thunder", corresponding to the day 16/7/2018 (this posts was of yesterday, im late again xd)
Although it is not news, I want to thank all of you who vote and support this initiative, obviously, I also want to thank those writers who have made me very happy when I give them my vote.
It's a big pleasure to read all the posts they share on the discord channel, but not all have been voted because some do not meet a minimum quality standard (I'm not very demanding), or at worst they have a high index of plagiarism.
Yesterday, I voted 27 posts and commentaries from different users that showed a pretty good quality creating posts, this we will do every day in favor of the growth of retention of new users on the platform.
Well, it is important that you consider the ways to get points, but please remember that I do not force you to vote this post. The main reason of this post is to give free publicity for all the posts I have voted, and give them some support!
You can also tell me in the comments if I made the mistake of voting some type of post that is plagiarism, I usually check them but sometimes I can fail. If that is the case, the vote will be removed and the user will be placed under observation or banned.
By the way! all the posts of introduction of new users that are interesting will be voted with 10%
Given that the way in which I distribute the votes is not for everyone, I will make some small adjustments that you can see in the points sheet below. Things like that now will take less points to reach the different tiers and each tier of lower level will receive a higher percentage. I do not want it to be an exaggerated percentage, every day on our Discord channel, on average, there are almost new 10 users and we have about 40 posts that I review daily. If I upload too much the percentage of votes, I will not be able to reward a large number of posts. and my points system would be useless.
Every day I do a post I only use 5% of my total energy (only one vote), the rest I try to distribute to those who can, but sometimes there are no posts to vote or I simply can not find them. I will try to improve in that and I hope I do not have more problems with fans of the ufc that they say to me selfish when they vote twice a day with 100%.
I am also happy because several users are about to reach the second tier! One of them is @talesfrmthecrypt, a fantastic writer and soon he will be able to receive double the value of my vote.
The reason why I have 98% of energy is because I have not voted in 2 days and I have accumulated those 10% of energy for promotion, it is not because I do not vote to other users.
