but either way, **** is fucking sad .
When Johnny was only eight years old, his mother Virginia was kidnapped, raped, hung, stabbed 22 times with scissors and a screwdriver, and left for dead by her assailant. Johnny recalls being awakened in the middle of the night by his mothers screams. When he looked out the window Johnny saw his mother chained in the back of a pickup truck. He woke up his grandparents to tell them what he’d seen, but they didn’t believe him thinking it was just the overactive imagination of an eight year old boy and sent him back to bed. Tapia says he is still haunted by these memories to this day.

Sounds like Dexter's origin.
I guess we got lucky that he become a boxer and not a serial killer.

Tapia was a beautiful fighter to watch. Loved the way he went to the body, doubled up on those hooks, his defensive moves, etc..
