i think the blood tests should happen, and it should be the norm, not just in this fight
we can discuss the weight penalty clause in another thread since it's a completely separate issue from blood testing. these 2 are not related.

stringent blood testing might be the way to go in the future but its total implementation still needs to be studied thoroughly. some issues are;
- will it be for all boxers? (as what you suggested) including those undercard boxers
- who will shoulder the blood testing cost of roughly $20k per boxer per fight ($20k is larger than some boxers' purses)

until such time that boxing commissions already has the blood testing in place, we can contend ourselves with compromise testing.
Well you can start by putting it on title fights and make the IBF wbo wbc wba etc etc pay for it. Failing that take it out of the fight purse.

That would be a decent start.
good suggestion. until such time that it's already in place, a compromise agreement might be the best solution to make this fight a reality.
