Mi Vida Loca

Johnny Tapia was a five-time boxing world champion. The Albuquerque, New Mexico brawler overcame tremendous odds to achieve greatness.

 Tapia's father was murdered before he was born. At eight years-old he found his mother, Virginia, chained to the back of a truck after she had been kidnapped, beaten, stabbed and raped. She died four days later.

His career record stands at 59 wins (30 KO's), 5 losses and 2 draws. He passed away on May 27, 2012 at the age of 45.
