Barrera, and it was his Mother's maiden name, nothing to do with Johnny Tapia.

Not sure J, not sure about that, give me some time to do some research, I'm on a course today so I have some downtime.

Tapia reminded me of Gatti, Corrales, Ward and the like...you would have to hit the c**t with a shovel to get him out of there....

I would argue for Corrales, that kid could bang, was ring savvy. But never mind, buddy. Let's remember the great man. I have a career set of Tapia...might plunder that later tonight....

Flea Man · 05-28-2012, 06:30 AM

Corrales and ring savvy do not belong in the same sentence

We'll agree to disagree, buddy. If you don't have any ring savvy....how the hell did he get Castillo out of there?

A great man on here John Garfield was ringside that fight, allegedly there was very little thrown that didn't land.

Flea Man · 05-28-2012, 06:50 AM

I think we've got different perceptions of ring savvy. Having no defence and being exciting does not=savvy IMO.

As you said, another time, another place. R.I.P Tapia.
