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.
