    Did he o.d or kill himself? I forget which one of those fun exit strategies he chose

    Neither. He died of heart failure. No one's heart is built to withstand the years and years of drug abuse that Tapia underwent.

    Haven't watched it, yet. The best thing it has going for it is that it's not about Ali.

    That's not a HBO documentary.


    They didn't mention at the very beginning that "Right Now Tommy Hearns Is An Open Book For Ray Leonard".

    They mention that at the beginning of ALL the fucking HBO stuff.

    Then they ask you "How do you like it".

    They are kind of insistent about that. They ask you TWICE how do you like it.

    They probably would have asked Marilyn Monroe like..."How do you like it" and she would have said "Hot" and then they would have been "HOW. DO. YOU. LIKE. IT" and she would have OD'd under the pressure.

    So I can safely say that this is not an OFFICIAL HBO production.

    It's probably some cheap fucking Mexican knock-off, like Danny Romero.

    I actually think Ike might have gone the way of the dodo too.

    I don't recall ever seeing that. I didn't know he had a strong opinion on either of those two.

    no no, Bindu died of a pimple last year, dont you remember? I believe Chondona is still okay tho. he was in a coma for about 3 months from Pink Eye, but i hear he is making a full recovery and will soon be back swatting the flies off the cotton picker's heads in no time.
