Boxing ring

A boxing ring is the space in which a boxing match occurs. A modern ring that is set on a raised platform is a square with a post in each corner. There are four padded rows of rope which are attached with a turnbuckle. Its diffferent from wrestling whereas the ropes in a boxing ring are generally secured at the midway point. The ring itself has around 1 inch of padding covered by stretched canvas. The ropes are around 1 inch in diameter and are on posts of 5 feet at height and are spaced at 18, 30, 42, and 54 inches. The ring name was atavism. The fighters inside of it so they people can watch them. If there were walls instead of ropes, people wouldn't be able to see them. Theres ropes so fighters can bounce back from a fight.
