Didn't read it but well...guess they didn't **** it up but at least team Lopez could have done that after he caught covid earlier this year. As a pro athlete they should check him all the time especially after getting Covid.
"If he was hit in the neck or the chest -- a certain way, in a certain place -- he could have developed a pneumothorax [collapsed lung]. ... He would have instantly been down and unable to breathe and needing a chest tube." Except he was hit in both places multiple times over 12 rounds "when asked why he didn't divulge his symptoms to his manager or the athletic commission during his prefight examination on Friday. "I fought through asthma before. If I told everybody, they would've canceled the fight. But I chose not to, because of the amount of pressure I was under. I didn't want to hear people say, 'Oh, another postponement.'" If I'm the athletic commission I immediately hit him with a ban or extended suspension.. Edit: reason why, the next time someone is seriously hurt in a boxing match in new york, their lawyers can point to this happening and say "look the NY commission don't take the safety of fighters seriously, Teofimo Lopez openly admitted to bypassing their protocols and nothing was done. Had something be done sooner my client may not of been in the situation he is in today"
One probable cause has been listed as an oesophageal tear. How the **** did he manage to do that? The article also speculates that the tear might have been caused by the weight cuts. How ironic.
The lengths Eddie Hearn and DAZN will go to in order to rob poor Teofimo. The Shame. Should of stayed on ESPN with Top Rank.
he obviously felt well enough to pass the prefight physical. if he lied about his condition then, why would he expect to be believed now. and if he wasnt even aware something was wrong, how bad could it be? you are a finely tuned athlete, any slight drop in performance is easily noticed. irregular lung capacity would most certainly have blasted signals.
I thought it was he right elbow? He have a tummy ache with the squirts too? LOL Boy just got whooped. Plain and simple. Take that L like a man, learn from the mistakes and come back stronger. Simple formula if he can just get out of his own way.

I dont believe this at all, you guys saw teo use his inhaler right next to kambosos when he was being interviewed after the fight? It was to save face by saying “ kambosos beat me because i have asthma “. Its all lies.
Man there are some weird ass dudes who post here. It would be poetic justice for you to be treated with such discontent and lack of empathy when your time comes. I don’t wish that for you, but it would be ironic.
She was an Otolaryngology doctor (Ear, nose and throat) in 2003 but from 2007 on she has been a doctor for hire for everything from the screen actors guild, musical recording artists, theater and even boxing. A paid consultant who understands from the size of the check alone what she should be saying and it's always in favor of those who write the check.
