Johnny Tapia: Knocked Out in Two Rounds

Tonight’s main event of Telefutura’s “Solo Boxeo” boxing series featured former five-time world champion and boxing icon Johnny “Mi Vida Loca” Tapia taking on Mexican journeyman Sandro Marcos. It was evident in the opening stanza that Tapia was going to have problems dealing with the hard punching Mexican as Marcos caught Johnny early with a left hook that wobbled the New Mexican boxing legend. In the second round, Sandro stunned Tapia again with a left hook to the head, followed by a right hand that was blocked. But Marcos finished off the combination with a hard, rib cracking left hook that sent “Mi Vida Loca” to the canvas wincing in pain. Tapia would not beat the count. With the victory, Marcos may have added two or three more fights to his career. As for Tapia, who knows what’s next?
