If Dirrell doesn't capture a title one way or another I'll be stunned. His brother got one before him (although he is a solid boxer) :gucci:

Came across this article about the ROC.

A bit long to post the whole thing

Odd article. Expected it to be better written since it was coming to from Forbes. Could havery been an interesting piece about how RN is trying to change marketing and maybe get into the results they are seeing...instead the article was written exactly in the way of the branding he was talking about. RN won with that article, it was pure advertisement.

In fact, if they're gonna make another flick about a white boxer, make it about a great one.

Rocky Marciano had a decent movie, but Gene Tunney has had none to my knowledge... Gatti too would be super dope.

Nah fam, fukk a cac boxer. we need a Johnny Tapia movie, name it Mi Vida Loca. i think they had an indie film set up, but im not sure if it ever got released.

tradgedy, pain, and triumph. he has to have one of the most tragic stories of any athlete.

Tapia’s life had a streak of tragedy even as he fought to stand his ground against what life threw at him. Tapia was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His father had reportedly been murdered while his mother was pregnant with him. When he was eight years old, his mother, Virginia, was kidnapped, raped, hanged, repeatedly stabbed, and left for dead by her assailant. Tapia was awakened by her screams and saw her chained to the back of a pickup truck. He tried to alert others in his household, but no one believed him. His mother was later found by the police and taken to the hospital after she had crawled 100 yards to a road. She died four days after the attack without regaining consciousness. Raised thereafter by his grandmother, Tapia turned to boxing at the age of nine. The childhood traumas led to a life of drug addiction. When he was 40, Tapia suffered an overdose from cocaine abuse, and his brother-in-law and nephew were killed in a car accident on the way to the hospital.

Tapia began boxing at age 9 and became a star in the late 1990s, winning titles in three different divisions including the WBO super flyweight and WBO bantamweight.
