[@randygrodi]

Thank you Sir.

[@Charlie072509]

What a beautiful tribute to Johnny Tapia and what a beautiful relationship/friendship you had with him. The song made me cry even though I am half Hispanic and did not understand all the words. I would like to get the English translation as I too have a hard past and mom issues. I never met Johnny but always loved how he treated people, came across on the news or interviews and of course his amazing fights. You are an amazing singer!!! Can't wait for the next tribute you do.

[@СосланЦ-м6ы]

красавчик Джони!!

[@MrLatincowboy]

I cant believe all the negative comments on Johnny Tapia, hasnt your parents taught you if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all? Opps i forgot you dont have any morals or class. MY BAD ! Regardless if Johnny was a druggie or not its really none of your business he hasnt hurt or harmed you, he has alot more fans than you will ever have. And this is in answering to so many rude remarks about him. He was a human HE HAD RED BLOOD jus like all of us, he was a "CHAMP" AND THAT MEANS champs arent discriminated THEY COME IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE. People with skeletons who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones..... Doing drugs is not the answer but its a choice he took ~ AS for the Tribute to him from Mr Darren Cordova TE EXTRANO MAMA ,WAS WRITTEN specially for Johnny bout growin up without a mom,,,, etc Johnny had more than 1 fan he had millions all around the world so im sure the few that arent a fan its not gonna make a difference. God Bless Johnny and his family his legacy will live on FOREVER ! RIP JT & THANK YOU DARREN CORDOVA FOR BEING A GREAT AND SINCERE NEW MEXICO ARTIST WITH COMPASSION AND LOVE FOR ALL OF US.

[@sergboxer7785]

What was your relationship with Johnny? RIP to one of the greatest of all time!, Johnny "Mi Vida Loca" Tapia. I didn't know him personally but I miss him. Watched all his fights.

[@digdeep0169]

Team JT forever

[@astuastungkare628]

THE GREATS TAPIA...!!! me from BALI.

[@adanjunior]

I remember all his fights, good techniques, Too bad couldn't bit the Alcohol, at least he did something for us to remember him. R.I.P. Tapia.....

[@gabelopez1965]

Johnny wasn't a alcoholic and didn't have a problem with alcohol! His down fall and problem was cocaine, but no matter how hard his fight with the drug was he was the most down to earth and humblest guy you could ever meet! I knew him personally and he never let his fame of being a professional boxer get to his head and being puffed up with so much pride!!!

[@Kon20]

The lost champ R.I.P Tapia

[@E_flores_72]

I still haven't seen a fighter with his intensity yet
