    this is too damn bad.

    Is he sick enough that he can't train?? 99% of these athletes test positive but have zero symptoms .

    This was a solid solid fight and I had to give Ryan Garcia props for making it.

    Yeah, I was very excited to see what Ryan could do against a guy w/ a pulse.

    yo btw, did Cambell look like a shell of himself against Loma compared to how he looked against Linares?? He fought Loma two years after Linares but didn't look as quick or as fast. I was highly impressed with that Linares fight.

    If Luke can look like that again, watch out.

    Having zero symptoms doesn't mean it's safe to train with a serious respiratory illness when you can just wait 2 weeks for it to pass

    Slight exaggeration.

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a serious respiratory illness.

    Covid-19 is an infection similar to influenza.

    You don't determine what a serious illness means for anyone other than yourself

    Save your breath I'm not interested in arguing this topic. Pun intended

    Very disappointing. Like others, I was really interested to see if Garcia could hang in there with a Campbell-level fighter.

    Maybe it could happen on the Canelo card.

    Campbell should retest a few times. They shouldn't be using tests that are upwards of 80% inaccurate, fairly useless.

    So there’s only a 20% chance he has COVID?

    There is a 0% chance that test could tell you that. The tests were never tuned per specification of their creator Dr. Kary Mullis. That's why they are approved for emergency use only and not for diagnosis. To tune the test to detect a virus, the virus has to be first isolated, and purified. Purified so that when they sequence it's genome, there is no genome from other things being sequenced. None of the papers which claim COVID19 isolation actually did this. They just took phlegm from the lungs of sick people, and PCRd it, with no purification. There are thousands of other viruses, bacteria, and fungi in phlegm. They sequenced all that contamination and claimed it was COVID19. That's why the tests are useless.

    If they took the steps to properly tune the tests, there wouldn't be but a fraction of people testing positive.

    The test is useless

    No. If you don't have symptoms then you are not dealing with a serious respiratory illness. A sore throat and/or cough means the virus is in your respiratory system. Until those symptoms show it's simply a bug in your body that you've tested positive for and your respiratory system is not under attack.

    There are now dozens upon dozens (hundreds I assume) of college and professional athletes who've tested positive without symptoms and continued training in isolation (often with fellow quarantined teammates).
