My Lord. God rest his soul. RIP Mr. Tapia. Thank you for all the great fights. My prayers go out to him and his family and loved ones. He will truly be missed.
As a fan of his, I always prepared myself for this day, and even then It's hard to read.
I was celebrating a Spurs win, logged on to this site, only to have this news ruin my day.
He had one of the hardest lives that I have ever heard.
What he went through in 45 years, most people dont go through in 80.....
RIP Champ (I still think you beat Paulie Ayala)

RIP. Prayers go out to his family. A notable fighter to say the least, in his day.
I really wish I could make jokes relating this to something like, "he read check hooks post history and had a heart attack" or something amusing, but that would be totally inappropriate.
Hopefully it's nothing too complicated, that which revolves around the cause of his death, and I hope he was at peace with himself, God, and his family when he passed.
Fighters really need to take better care of themselves, during, and after their careers.
