a couple of months ago i took a few moments to characterize and describe johnny tapia for mrs. peel, who had said that she had never actually seen the man fight. #reply-16017975

i really truly have grown to appreciate johnny tapia for the effort he puts forth when he climbs into the ring. i hope and pray that the effort he puts forth now outside of the ring is enough to see him through this tough time.

for anyone interested, you'll find a contact number for him here johnnytapia.com

:)

Teresa Tapia releases statement

Sept 1, 2001
SecondsOut.com

The wife of troubled super-star Johnny Tapia has made a statement regarding her husband’s apparent suicide attempt on Thursday night. Few details have emerged – it is not known at which medical facility the enormously popular four-time world champion is being treated – however Teresa Tapia seems to confirm the fighter did make an attempt on his own life.

In a press release she said: “As you know, Johnny has been battling severe depression. Right now, he has some personal issues to deal with, most of which involve decisions regarding his career. We all know him as an emotional, honest and sincere individual and that is part of what makes him a superstar. We are hopeful and confident that Johnny will be back where his fans most want to see him - in the ring.”
