    He had a fight at the York Hall on Showtime and the place was going nuts, he won in the 1st round did the back flip and that was that. What a fighter, what a shame.

    It's not a surprise but it's still a shitter.

    Marco Antonia Barrera has TAPIA on his shorts,but it`s to honour his mother whos maiden name was Tapia,but he is called Barrera after his father.It`s got nothing to do with Johnny Tapia :)

    RIP

    Can't see much people live a harder life than Johnny and survive it as long as he had.

    45 yrs was like 150 yrs for him. He went through traumatic times plus a stellar career in boxing..wow.
