Johnny Tapia arrested

Johnny Tapia is going through a lot of emotional pain. I bet he hasn't recovered from the loss of his brother-in-law and nephew. The brother-in-law and nephew that died in a car wreck when they were on the way to see him in the hospital after he overdosed on drugs... If that was the thing that was really bothering him, you'd think he would find a different outlet instead of one that indirectly killed those two.

I have only sympathy for Johnny. Obviously he is haunted by some wicked demons he can't control.

real sad to see that tapia can't tame his demons. after all he's done, it seems like he doesn't care. i really think he's going to get some serious time in prison, he's had too many chances for them to not throw the book at him on this one, he's violating parole, that is not good. best wishes to tapia and his family, they're going to need it...........

I'm all about giving people second chances, but... This guy should probably just get the electric chair. He is no good for the world. He's no good for himself. The guy has a lot of demons, and had a rough childhood. He's going to end up dead soon enough, as sad as that sounds. He just cant stop doing drugs.

thats gotta suck though. dont matter who you are. sittin around, gettin crazy on the couch, then a knock on the door. bad day.

Former five-time world champion Johnny Tapia has been arrested on a probation violation on felony drug charges. Probation and parole officers found the former champ at his home yesterday in possession of a controlled substance. Last April, Tapia pled guilty to felony drug charges and was sentenced to probation. He is being held at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center until he appears before a judge. — Chris Cozzone so sad. poor tapia...... his party privileges have been revoked.:puppy_dog He could win world titles, but he can't beat drugs. What a shame..

Sad how they call him "former 5 time world champ" Johnny Tapia. As if boxing needed another black mark on it's record. Can't just be a random scumbag, has to be a former 5 time world champion boxer and scumbag.

sad............
