Pro Boxer Is Lucky To Be Alive

Teofimo Lopez is an elite boxer who was diagnosed with "pneumomediastinum" with "extensive air in the retropharyngeal space" by emergency room doctors during his postfight visit to Bellevue Hospital. How does a champion boxer sustain such an injury before a fight? A punch from Thor, otherwise known as The Mountain from Game of Thrones, might be the answer. #shorts

This isn’t an anime. You can’t tank a punch from someone twice your size.

[dodzx]

they are laughing about it like it's child's play... this could have easily been worse, that man is lucky

[Thoran]

Turns out getting punched really hard isn't fun. Who would have thought?

[josejimenez]

You can see him in probably a lot of pain, and maybe even he could tell something was wrong, but he's trying to tough it out and seem fine.

[jake_a.lien_]

Fun fact: You're actually supposed to AVOID getting hit in boxing. Who knew!

[ramyar_abdullah]

"Ouch, i burnt my hand"
"How did that happen?"
"I dipped my hand into a pot of hot oil"

[simplycaz]

Toughing it out sometimes ends up taking lives. The world's most famous escape artist Houdini can withstand strong punches in his gut and his death was caused by the outcome in which he boasted for.

[jadebear]

There’s a reason you fight in your weight class.
He almost got himself a Darwin Award.

[svsguru]

He's lucky that Thor didn't use his hammer.

[goodini]

scary thing is, Thor didn't put full force into that punch. if he did, there's no doubt Lopez would've buckled over in pain. He may be an elite level boxer, but Thor is like triple his size

[denasaurus]

Don’t let people punch you for no reason like that !!!

[beencurious]

The crazier thing is that Thor didn’t even punch with his full power

[rustcohle]

That seemed to be a 40-50% punch from Thor, imagine if he really wanted to hurt Teofimo. This is scary haha

[xyrokai]

A pro boxer got hit by Thor and had a tear in their esophagus.

Imagine this hitting a skinny man, their lungs are gonna grow a pair of wings and fly away on it's own.

[f_martinbeatrice]

the boxer's reaction is simillar to the kid faking a smile when he accidentally burned his fingers trying to do a flame tricks

[abidsaheel]

"The Narrator: He was indeed *not ok"

[Hawting]

The difference in weight classes is also pretty significant (though this could obviously happen between people in the same weight class too I just found it interesting to point out bc one of them is a pro)

[ramboc]

When I first saw that punch, I remember thinking "you're lucky to be standing". Pro or not, you don't take a hit like that unless you're made of the same stuff as Thor. The guy borders on superhuman, how could you expect anything BUT damage?

[Bilal_Aslam_]

Chest compressions will get that air out ! Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions !

[prpitprp]

Wait! Wait! You're telling me that being punched by a man who is double your size can hurt you?!?!
