There will be plenty more unless they dial down the roid usage and get refs that actually know what there doing

Drug tests, refs, corner, fans, fighters. All need to change.

I think Chris Mannix is right. One of these days, someone is going to die and the opponent is going to test positive for steroids, and boxing will never be looked at the same.

Get rid of the 10 second knockdown rule. It's getting ridiculous to give a concussed fighter 10 second to get back up and get knocked down and concussed another 4+ times over the fight.

You probably have seen less deaths and comas in MMA (not because they can't punch) because once a fighter is knocked-down once the fight is usually over shortly with the follow-up shots.

I think they should preemptively make a law that says the boxer that was on steroids in that case will have committed manslaughter. That may deter PED use.

thats true.i see boxing and other combat sports coming to a close in the future if they don't put advanced roid testing as a priority it's starting to get outta hand here

Standing counts and better tests that the fighter is fit to fight. Walk to me and put your hands up is too easy to complete.
