From the age of 9 he was already drinking, he was arrested several times and became champion of Venezuela. 86 quick victories, the average endurance of the rivals was two minutes. It was considered more than brave, a daredevil.
But like every tragic story, it had its unforeseen turn. On February 5, 2001, Inca Valero was not wearing a helmet while driving and He fell from his motorcycle. The impact was so great that his brain moved completelythus changing his life completely.
It was after that accident that the boxer lost his fear, in the ring he seemed unaware of the danger, he did not cover himself from the blows, the rivals began to avoid him and the claimed he was possessed by a demon. Shortly after, an MRI discovered serious irregularities in the mental circuits.
One morning, Valero woke up next to his wife, murdered that same night, shortly after he confessed that he had been the one who had slit his wife’s throat. Already in the cell, it was discovered that the boxer was talking to himself, thus revealing a schizophrenia.
The doctor Manuel Martín-Loeches is shown completely amazed with the case of the boxer: ”It is a clear example of how our behavior can be dramatically affected when we touch the brain. You have to be very careful.”
The professor reveals that he has the feeling that Inca Valero must have had an injury that affected his temporal lobes and explains in detail how this affects the brain, and therefore the behavior of the affected people.
