On the recommendation of my friend Aaron I bought this book not really knowing what to expect, I am not a massive boxing fan and I know nothing about Johnny Tapia until I read this book .....
Here is the Product Description from Amazon –
"There is only one winner in boxing. Fighting against your opponent and fighting against your own inner demons become one in the same. Those who survive both in and out of the ring are beloved worldwide. Those who do not spiral downward into drugs, prison, and even murder. ...[My] life's been pretty tragic, remarks Johnny. But in the ring, it's been a blessing. Mi Vida Loca is not just a nickname for Johnny, but a legendary tale of a life lived over the edge and back.
To be honest I don’t know where to start with this, Johnny Tapia takes you on a hell of a ride, just as you think things are going to go well and everyone is going to live happily ever after ... along comes Johnny.
I think this is the first book I have ever read and at the end of ever chapter said out loud “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME” …. Every chapter
This book made me laugh and pull my hair out, I could never have a person like Johnny in my life I would end up been a broken mess.
If you want a Rudy type story to read, this book is not for you. If you want a story that is going to make you twitch your bum get it … get it now.
