Former five time world champ Johnny Tapia is back in jail for failing a urine test. KOB TV in Albuquerque, N.M. broke the story this morning, reporting that Tapia returned to jail yesterday after his urine tested positive for cocaine. The urine test was part of his conditions for an early release in January into a community custody program rather than fulfill the length of a sentence for a probation violation.
well, this was This content is protected unexpected. Though I might be using sarcasm since I called it about 2 months ago.
I never understood people who used hard drugs.... Isnt booze enough for you??? Or weed if you like that kinda ****??? Why the need to do some crazy ****?atsch
99% positive he smacked around his wife years back then went to rehab. He's a ****ing loser. Shame, his wife is hot too. They been together since they were young. I mean she kept his career going and everything.
Shame about Johnny, he just can't let that **** go. Everyone shitting on him for hitting his wife, whatever.... it helps to understand where he comes from and what he's been through. If you're only a wifebeater in that environment you're one of the good guys lol Not excusing it, it's a bad thing, but life isn't all black and white like that. Tapia has a backstory that people need to know before judging him.
Tapia is pathetic. Its obvious the ****in loser doesnt even TRY and change his life! Yet he wants everybody to feel sorry for his pathetic ass!
He went from a street running gangster who watched his own mother murdered to an Olympic fighter and then a world champion, and a born-again holy roller. I'd say he changed his life. He just can't get away from his demons. There but for the grace of god go I. He's not a bad man, he's a drug addict, and deeply troubled. Considering what he's given to the sport, personally I think he deserves a little more support, but whatever.
i agree with what hes given to the sport and i remember watching him when i was young thinking he was a good guy that just didnt have alot of luck maybe i dont respect him as a person anymore but respect him as a fighter
Dude was a showman on top of the ring. Great fire, fun to watch. I always loved his "ernie from sesame street" laugh, after a late flurry just when a round ends.
