Stevenson's Dad died of a Karate Chop? WTF?

[TheGR8TESTOAT]

Hey guys remember during the Stevenson fight Jim said his dad was a martial arts fighter and he got hit by a karate chop to his torso that caused him to die two weeks later?

Anybody else thought WTF when they heard that?

[Jloro]

I kind of laughed and imagined one of those touch of death things lol (no disrespect intended to midget pimps father)

His dad didn't do enough core.

He should've hired Heredia and gotten ripped like JMM.

That is a pretty fucked up way to go no doubt, I am sure it was something like it broke a rib and they were in Haiti so nobody really checked him out he thought it was just bruised then it came loose punctured something.

Yeah its kinda like something Quentin Tarantino would write into one of his highly fabricated versions of what happened in a period piece movie lol.

No disrespect but I mean that Karate Chop must have hit vital organs or pressure points right on the money I mean to die two weeks later from it is like the touch of death but even worse cuz he probably suffered for 2 whole weeks.

Long before his birth, RING/WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis "Superman" Stevenson said that his father dreamed that he would be a fighter, even though he died doing just that while his son was still in his mother's womb.

"I didn't know my father. When my mother was pregnant, my father died. So I didn't know my father. It wasn't easy," said Stevenson, 36, in an HBO video that can be viewed by clicking here.

"My father was in a karate tournament. He got a punch in the heart. Close to the heart. One or two weeks after that, he died from it. He died from fighting. And now, I'm a fighter. That was the dream of my father. You know, in boxing, anything can happen."

For the bulk of his career, Stevenson has made it happen in his favor. On Saturday, Stevenson (22-1, 19 knockouts) is confident that he will come up with his 10th straight knockout victory, and his fourth of the year, against Liverpool's Tony Bellew (20-1-1, 12 KOs) at The Pepsi Colesium in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

"My power is natural. That's God-given power," said Stevenson, a southpaw who will be fighting at 175-pounds for only the third straight time. "When I go into the ring with you, this is a war, and I'm going to win by knockout."

Well I was beaten to it but I was going to say Jim said it was under the the heart, not torso or rib.

Karate in its essence is an art of dealing lethal and crippling blows.

It's not that impossible for a martial artist who's been mastering his form and his body for years or decades hitting a sensitive area with maximum force and causing major bodily damage.

That's what it was designed for.
