    Good documentary, like others said felt a little rushed, but great to see those old fights.
    Had a chuckle when they talked about the dude who killed his mom. Narrator says died from a hit and run, then Tapia says he got ran over a couple times seemed like Johnny had some inside info

          It was good, I think I expected a little more based on all R he stuff I read, but I guess an hour probably couldn't capture it all. I once read that his uncle used to pimp him out, make him fight older cats for many as a way to get paid. They said he was a teenager fighting full grown men. Very good nonetheless, thanks the memories champ!!!

            Caught this the other day On Demand. Really enjoyed it. Felt bad for his wife, she went through a ton with him.

            Really enjoyed watching him fight.

                  Just caught this on HBO earlier today and wow...what a great documentary. It's made me (a fairly new boxing fan) wanna seek out a career DVD set of Tapia's fights. Dude was a straight up BEAST and seemed so friendly.

                  That ending though...

                  What's the verdict around here on his book "Mi Vida Loca: The Crazy Life of Johnny Tapia"??

                  Is it worth picking up??
