boxer hog dogs lol

Question to any body who hunts hogs with boxers, recently I had my 2 "house pet" boxers with me when i went to a friends house. He had recently caught a pig and it was in a pen out back. Of course i did not know this and as soon as i let them out of the truck they bolted around the house and went crazy on the pen. After about 5 minutes of trying to bite through the wire pen my oldest dog began to bay at it in the corner while my youngest dog began trying to climb the pen to get inside. Needless to say i was pretty proud of my dogs even though i have never thought of them more than just family companions and good watch dogs. My friend is bugging me about buying some vests and taking them with us when he goes to set traps and check trail cams. Im a little hesitant about this. I used to run coon dogs a lot and i know that hunting dogs are going to sustain cuts and injuries at some point in time (especially hog dogs). What i am really worried about is how the boxers fighting style is going to match up with a loose wild hog. My dogs (and most all boxers) use there feet alot when they fight to gain an advantage angle to the neck. Im afraid that a hog will be able to whip around and get them good where the vest doesnt protect (paticularly their throat). Dont get me wrong my dogs can hold their own but i dont know if they are quite ready for a true hog fight. Do your boxers get injured a lot more than other types of hog dogs?
