Tapia KO'd

I've been saying it too. The guy is Superman. He witnessed his Mom get raped and killed. He watched his uncle get shot He was a minority survivor of a bus accident. Killed plenty others He cracked his skull open when he was pissed off LEAVING THE HOSPITAL.....slipped and hit his head on an embankment. He was in a coma as a result. He struggled dearly with Alchohol/Cocaine addiction....keeping his morality in the process (wont find a more selfless fighter) How in the hell the judges gave the fight to Ayala is beyond me. Prior to that match in fact......Tapia found out the identity of the people that killed his mom. He used that rage to simply OUTWORK the busiest fighter you can find....and the judges still gave Pauly the nod. oh and keep in mind. He awoke ahead of schedule in his coma only to continue fighting. Biggest heart of all time. Not second to Evander Holyfield. http://www.sho.com/site/boxing/profile.do?fighter=575&event=42&fight=2271 Living " La Vida Loca" indeed!

]] ================= Tapia won the only Archuleta bout he deserved, the last one. Last night's KO was bogus. That was not "El Gancho", it was an average left hook in a boring fight to the upper ribcage. So was the Martinez Vs Martinez bout. Both fighters threw down, but who ever thought Tapia would throw down? He was in fine form for the Archuleta rematch and was offered a shot at a minor title that he turned down. He was in more danger from the party he followed up with than last night's fight.

its official tapia is finsihed

I agree, especially Ayala. And even if you accept the archuleta, it can be chalked up to age. Especially for a man back from the dead. I've been saying it too. The guy is Superman.

Tapia (with his bf Runwithknives)=PWNED!

Tapia's never been stopped before tonight. 2nd round? It did look like a damn good shot. But still. Imagine what Oscar Larios would've done to him. The fact that Tapia is alive, let alone able to fight at all is impressive. Just a couple years ago he was on life support. In my opinion. Tapia only had 1 loss prior to this fight. That was against Barrera. Every other fight was an outright robbery. He was Robbed big time against Ayala and Archuleta Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Yup, it was very painful to watch especially when Tapia was literally crawling in the ring after that body shot. He gave us plenty of exciting fights and I think it's time to go hang the gloves.

I was going to make a thread on that. Only thing is, it disgusts me. I cant see arguably my favorite fighter of all time go out like that. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

It sucks to watch a fighter go out that way. Its far time Johnny hangs em up.

tapia needed to retire a while ago.....

Yeah. Tapia needs to start living life after boxing.
