http://caracas.eluniversal.com/2009/09/27/sucgc_art_detenido-boxeador-va_1588536.shtml My Spanish isn't all that, but according to "El Universal" (a Caracas daily), Edwin Valero has been arrested for molesting his 9 year old nephew.
Yes, it looks like my Spanish is even worse than I thought. My apologies, it does look like I was wrong: Edwin Valero was arrested for beating up his mother and sister. He's completely innocent of molesting nis 9-year old nephew. My apologies to Edwin and his fans.
Valero seem to be a troubled mofo...going by the article he has also been accused in the past of shooting his wife on a leg...
Here's the fightnews version: Valero facing charges By Gabriel F. Cordero Venezuela’s El Universal and Meridiano newspapers and the international EFE press agency report that WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero has been arrested on domestic violence charges in a confusing situation that took place in Valero’s hometown of El VigÃa, Merida, Venezuela. El Universal and Meridiano report that the boxer allegedly struck his mother and a sister during a family dispute. Police aren’t commenting on the case. Press around the world are waiting for Valero’s representatives to make an announcement on the champion’s status.
:flip: BULLSHIT....u know what u were doing.....:kick: how can u confused beating a mother and sister...with molesting a 9 year old nephew?
Dym is working for Valero's PR team. Now that the truth has come out, he's become morally innocent of any wrongdoing. Great spin job ! :bears:
As I said, my Spanish is very basic and I freely concede the point that I might've made a mistake or two in my translation.
This is hilarious. You act like your mistake was minor - just a little confusion in the translation. Ha ha ha ha ha. This is the funniest shit ever.
Well, as you said yourself and believe it or not, I totally agree with your statement Valero looks like he'd be into molesting his 9 year old nephews, so when I was translating I just assumed that's what actually happened.
The mistake being bringing more attention to himself via his threads? I think that part was intended.
:::: Dude, I'm not complaining about what you did. I just find it hilarious. And as you said, whether you translated correctly or not, the man does look a little off. Still, he's an exciting fighter, so this sucks for us fans. I would've loved to have seen JMM go back down and take on Valero.
I'm reluctant to publicly translate any more of the Spanish-language material about this incident I'n finding on the web...... Can any fluent Spanish speaker tell us if Valero's KO record (27 KOs) has improved after yesterday's altercation with his mother and sister?
