The computer game currently does not have any provision in it for size of ring (unless that secretly is programmed into the venue). But, if you know boxing, you know that makes a difference. I recall once when Sugar Ray Robinson was going up against a big puncher, and he knew he could take the guy easily as long as he could move, so he insisted in the contract on a 20-ft. ring. To confirm this, he even watched when the management laid down the tape.

So, come fight night, he goes in, and he wins, but he gets the crap beat out of him in the process, and he's wondering what in the world happened, that he could have miscalculated so. Well, it turned out that the management had only room for an 18-ft. ring and, to disguise that, had cut 2 feet out of the middle of the tape measure and soldered it back together!
