    Would you like to see random OST permanently instituted in boxing?

    I would, boxing is already dangerous enough. There have been fighters who died in the ring. A brutal sport like boxing needs to do everything possible to try to eliminate cheating. What do you say, yes or no, why or why not?

          I wouldn't mind it at all.

          I'm talking about real OST then of course, not "12-months-without-testing-a.k.a-"vacation"-OST".

            I think it would be a great stop forward for boxing. Could be a whole new era of the sport, clean it up for the 21st century etc.

            Have a big PR and image job on the sport as if its been reborn.

            That kinda thing.

              Hell no! Why? It's expensive....it would cost more than the salary of starting fighters.

                I think contact sports like boxing should require them regardless of their cost.

                Edit: I agree that it's a huge cost if it's done for everyfight, I didn't think about the four rounder fights...

                    Yes, but only if its done right i.e. done for all big fights (draw up a set of guidlines as to which fights should qualify - title fights / top ten ranked in division) and not done at the whim of one fighter.

                    It is too expensive to do for every fight but should be done for the fights at the highest level across the board.
