Both boxers would be on the same team, and all of their movements would be synched up with each other - when one jabbed, the other would be jabbing too. Points could be scored on how well their movements synch up, their ability to take a strong punches equally (you would need sensors in the gloves measuring the force of each punch) and a match that featured heavier blows would be worth more points than one made up of lighter punches. The corner coaches would say things like 'More Floating like a Butterfly - you two are too leaden' or 'Less Stinging like a bee -- your partner is getting too weary' as they try to reach the proper balance between being artful and taking a punch. They could call it Masochistic Synchronized Boxing. Vern [ Edited by: ikitnrev on 2004-08-20 17:59 ]
