Tapia Back In Jail

[milmascaras1]

all i know is that here in albuquerque, tapia is king whether he's on drugs or not. people love him over here as he's like this great iconic figure. i've met tapia before and he's a really nice guy with a good heart. his only problem is his damned drug addiction. i swear if this guy ever got his shit together and ran for mayor he would win in a landslide. that's how much he's revered here.

Hopefully he's right and he's squared away, I hope so. Still, this is an ongoing saga since I started following boxing I've known about Tapia's demons.

[Violent Demise]

Tapia's demons are just to much for him to handle. I remember reading an article on him a long time ago. It was on KO magazine I believe. Talking about the flash backs he gets would make a normal man commit suicide. They wouldn't be able to handle them. He always stated he doesn't have a drug problem and can do with out them. But the flash backs just won't go away. He said he looks forward to dying. Doesn't matter where he goes. Anything is better than dealing with what he does. He ain't scared of hell. Cuz he's already living it. But he knows him dying would tear his wife apart. And he can't do that to her. So he takes the drugs to help him cope. Knowing he shouldn't. But he does. Makes the demons go away.
