Product Information
"The narrative describes the arc of Tapia's professional life in economical but effective detail...Zanon knows the sport well enough to keep these bouts intriguing...with a good deal of momentum and little sentimentality. The resulting portrait is that of a deeply weak and flawed man who could nevertheless exhibit a real zest for living. A gritty, engrossing, and concise account of a boxer's meteoric career and tortured personal life."--Kirkus Reviews "If I wake up, I know I'm a success. The day I don't wake up, I know I'll be home. I have one foot on this earth and one foot has crossed over. I didn't just die, I lived."--Johnny Tapia ...the ghost of Johnny Tapia lives on "Mi Vida Loca" (My Crazy Life) was Johnny Tapia's nickname and his reason for being. Haunted by the brutal murder of his beloved mother when he was a child, fighting and drugs gave him the escape he craved--and he did both with gusto. In The Ghost Of Johnny Tapia , Paul Zanon, with the help of Tapia's widow Teresa, tells the harrowing and unforgettable story of a boxing genius who couldn't, in the end, defeat his demons. The Ghost of Johnny Tapia is the second in the Hamilcar Noir series. Hamilcar Noir is "Hard-Hitting True Crime" that blends boxing and true crime, featuring riveting stories captured in high-quality prose, with cover art inspired by classic pulp novels. From the Foreword: "Johnny had incredible heart, was such a sweet man, but was also tormented. He had two sides to him. The sweetest, nicest guy, but then the other side which could probably kill you. He was tortured with his addictions, but Johnny was always pure emotion in that ring."--Sammy 'The Red Rocker' Hagar, Musician

Johnny passed far too early." --Gavin Woltjer, Montana Library Association Newsletter "The Ghost of Johnny Tapia is a short, sharp and entertaining read...there is more than enough there to capture the craziness, the charisma and the talent of a very unique man. In particular it gives a fascinating insight into the tragedies of his young life which gave rise to the demons he could never fully overcome." -- All Sports Books Reviews "Right from the opening page it grabs you in, and doesn't let get go until you have completed the book, you know every word written is meant to be there." -- Fight Post
