    The 41 year old is returning against TBA.

    Here's a couple snippets from an El Paso Times article.

    -"But I'm just here to have fun. My money's OK. My life is OK. I don't need to fight. I like to fight. You can punch somebody and not go to jail."

    -Tapia, whose life seems almost surreal, almost too extreme for a movie script, said representatives from a motion picture crew will be in El Paso for the fight.

    "I'm working with the people who made the Johnny Cash movie 'Walk the Line,' and they will be here," Tapia said. "It's a done deal."

    And what will the movie be called?

    "Mi Vida Loca," Tapia said quickly, instantly really. "Has to be. That is my life. That is the name of my book."

    -"Three more fights," he said. "Three. Three. That's all. We want to end this thing right."
