I doubt he will recover in time for August 1.
I had covid, it will make him fatigue, lose appetite, lose muscle/weight, and therefore make him physically weaker. Any gains Lopez had in training camp will be almost gone. The illness lingers for longer than 2 months. It can linger for a while and you can feel the fatigue even after you no longer have covid.
From what i’ve seen in other athletes who had covid and came back after “recovering”, they don’t seem to be the same right away. It takes a while. I imagine it’s even worse in a grueling sport like boxing where so much muscles are in constant motion.
If the fight indeed happens in Aug 1st, that is Kambosos chance to win big. I guarantee, whether he wins or loses, Lopez will not be 100% on August 1st. He can win by KO in 1 round, I still will not take it back that he will not be 100.
