Johnny Tapia Taps Julio For Final Fight

[ferocity]

Tapia is one of my all time favorites because of his fighting style, and his back story, but I think I'd be happy if he just hung em up right now.

I feel he'll win this fight, I just don't know at what cost this victory will come.

I sure he will be in great shape, seeing how he will be at featherweight and im sure he wants to end his career with a win.

though he was gang member with all that tattos.

anyway he got the ability to win because he is one of these guy who are like Rocky Balboa he heart is big but i bet part of his win is that he has fire inside him i heard that his mother was ****d in front of him

I have heard he was a gang member, don't know if its true or not.

I think but could be wrong, that there all religous tatts.

Could be. I know he has the ****** Mary on him.

Tapias book about his life is amazing.
I believe his mother was kidnapped at gunpoint in front of him and taken away in a pickup truck and gang****d then murdered.

He had a very tough life. He was born to fight.

My hats off to him.

I was reading the news at ********* and it mentions Tapias son is going to fight his first amature fight in Febuary. And that all his sons want to be boxers. And that Tapia is training his son to box. The Tapia Legend will continue with his sons. Im sure somone will have video of there sons fighting.

Heres part of the interview.........

“It’s time to hang it up and let the younger fighters take over,” said Tapia, mentioning pro fighters Hector Munoz, Lee Montoya and David Martinez as possible torch-bearers.

But there are other possibilities—including his own son, Jonathan, who, at 14, will enter the ring for the first time on an amateur card in Phoenix in February.

Tapia has mixed feelings about his son wanting to fight:

“I wish he wouldn’t .. but I’ll be there for him. I don’t know what I’ll do when someone hits him . . . but I’m there to support him. I’ve got three sons and they all want to be fighters. I’ll be there for him.”

Jonathon has been trained by his father along with Daniel Martinez, in Farmington, where they currently reside.

“I’m nervous, but I’ve seen my dad fight so many times that I decided I wanted to fight,” said the youngster. “He’s been showing me what to do. He’s got all the experience . . .”

After Tapia retires in February, he plans to open a gym in Farmington and train fighters.
