Comments Thread For: Doctor: Teofimo Lopez 'Lucky He's Not Dead' Due To Breathing Issue Before, After Kambosos Bout

[Madison Boxing]

does that medical conditions cause a fighters face to be attracted to the opponents fist? cause it didnt seem to affect his cardio, he was exposed theres nothing else to it.

LoL @ jaded sicko "fans" ... "not believing" what multiple doctors are saying. You people are deplorables. You know more than the doctors? Hell no.

Excuses and postponments for that fight were plentiful and tiring, but the doctors have no reason to bring this up at a post-fight exam. Lopez fought a spirited fight against an inspired opponent, nearly won. Given the fight's history up to fight-night, I believe he felt "funny" but didn't want to cause a further postponment. Anyone would in that circumstance. Thankfully it didn't end in the tragic manner it very well could have.

Commission physicals need to be revised (their routines) to include something to detect this kind of thing. Too serious to ignore. Lopez (excuses, overconfidence, bravado, and all) is crazy brave. Hopefully he learns to not take chances like this with his health. Fights and fans won't give a d*%mn when he's in critical from being too brave and accomodating. Slow down young man.

God is good, all the time ... you all better know it.

Plenty of morons walking around with notes from their bogus Doctors trying to get mask exemptions for imaginary breathing problems that somehow never seem to affect their ability to scream at the top of their lungs for 10 minutes straight about being discriminated against in Walmart.

Are you a doctor? Fan boys don't count especially froid is hero!

Sure. That's why he was still back flipping when everyone else was gone.

Yeah boxing is the WWE you cant believe any of this.

Boxers shouldnt copy WWE which is blatantly fake. They should copy oldschool wrestling where the characters sold their injuries outside of the ring. The pre-internet era. Where you wouldnt take selfies with the guy you were in a feud with.

Hoefimo also forgot to sell the injury IN THE RING after the match. IT was all at the end of the day, at the end of the day, at the end of the day I won.

Yeeehaw.

I have to say, you do have a point. There are bogus docs and the mask-hate crowd knows them all. Hopefully the ahtletes are using doctors with better ethics and professionalism.

I don't need to have more medical experience than you, it took me 2 seconds to google the fact that it's not common at all lol

I'll also add that another 2 second google search told me that about 10% of people who experience blunt trauma can have this happen to them.

I feel sorry for your child
I feel sorry because she is raised by a pure dim wit who can't even interpret info on Google properly.
God bless you

I don’t think the two doctors mentioned in the article have a dog in the fight. Nor would they risk their medical license to lie or illegally disclose Lopez’ information. Why would they lie? I’m sure Lopez arranged for the interview upon learning of his condition post fight.


The 24-year-old Lopez was diagnosed with “pneumomediastinum,” which caused “extensive air in the retropharyngeal space,” according to records from his post-fight visit to the emergency room at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.

“He could have died, for sure,” Dr. Linda Dahl, an otolaryngologist (ENT) who practices at three Manhattan hospitals, told ESPN. “How he breathed, I can’t even explain to you. It’s like somebody tied a 300-pound set of weights around his chest … like his neck and chest were in a vise. That’s how he fought.”

Another well-known doctor seconded Dahl’s assessment.

“He’s lucky he’s not dead,” Dr. Peter Constantino, executive director of the New York Head and Neck Institute, told ESPN. “I mean, really lucky.”

I don't know Ghost... Lets say I get into an argument with Oh... Willie Pep, and I want someone to take my side... and happen to have a lot of those old points the site used to have lol. So I pm you and say "Ghost, take these points here and tell Pep to stuff it! Billeau is right as rain! lol. You see where I am going regarding why those docs may have said what they did? Medically it sounds off... I do acknowledge it is possible, but does not pass the smell test to me.

I forgot I posted that.
Apology for the child comment brother.
It's just I've been fighting COVID (RN of 7 years) tooth & nail and it irritates me when I feel people downplay the fight not the actual disease.
You & I agree more than likely that most of them don't need to be hospitalized but I'm just a soldier following orders.
And if you're daughter was assigned to my care during a shift, I promise you I would take a bullet for her.
But, sorry if i came across as condescending.
Work has been insane & I just felt disrespected (as a nurse) by some of these comments.
Be well friend & keep taking great care of that child!!
