    No. It's not the gay pop singer. This is about Johnny Tapia in full super flyweight mode. I'll never know how Giovanni Andrade managed to get a shot at Tapia's world title, but for those who want to watch the fight online, and a typical Larry Merchant monologue in the intro, here's a link to my Daily Motion channel:

    It is amazing how he got a title shot. His last 7 fights were 6 and 8 rounders and if records are complete, the very best fighter he beat had a record of 5-0. It's amazing how far you can go in boxing with a bag of money at your disposal.
