Crucible: Multi participant boxing match

Abstract

The art of boxing has become stagnated. Again the only thing new is a team concept of several fighters on a team with each fighting short 3-5 round matches with the winner of the best 3 out of five winning the contest. Actually this may be new to professional boxing, but over twenty years ago while a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point, I participated in such team matches in our intramural league? The introduction of the new “Rhombus Ring” and “Crucible” format is light years ahead of anything that has ever been conceived in the sport of boxing and will undoubtedly revolutionize the sport.

1 . What I claim as my invention is a multiple participant boxing match with interchangeable boxers of various weight classes being strategically guided by a coach using substitution strategies fighting twelve 3 minute rounds in a point system with the final outcome decided by a 3-5 minute round called, “The Crucible”. 
   
   
       2 . Also, I claim the creation of a new ring called, “The Rhombus Ring”. Whose two smaller angled corners of 75 degrees will be used to punish boxers who foul and or ordered to be held at a disadvantage by the referee. The new ring shape will force boxers to stay away from the ropes and hence make for more exciting bouts. See  FIG. 1
