Description
Corner pads are essential safety and functional components of a boxing ring, placed on the four corner posts. Typically, a set includes four pads, each with a distinct color, which serves a specific purpose in a professional match.
Here is a description of the corner pads:
- Purpose: The primary purpose of the corner pads is to protect boxers from serious injury if they are pushed or fall into the hard, unforgiving ring posts. They also serve as strategic markers and resting areas for the fighters during a bout.
- Materials: These pads are constructed from high-density foam or a similar impact-absorbing material, which is then covered with a durable vinyl or synthetic leather. This outer covering is easy to clean, sweat-resistant, and can withstand repeated impacts.
- Design and Securing: Each pad is designed to fit snugly around the ring posts. They are secured in place with strong, wide straps or velcro fasteners on the back, which wrap around the post to prevent the pads from shifting during a fight. The outer shape is often a large, rounded column to provide maximum padding.
- Color Coding: In professional boxing, the corner pads are color-coded to identify the different corners of the ring. A standard setup includes:
- Red Corner: Designated for one of the boxers, often the champion or the “A-side” fighter.
- Blue Corner: Designated for the opposing boxer, often the challenger or the “B-side” fighter.
- White Corners (2): The two remaining corners are typically a neutral color like white, though sometimes they may match the referee’s shirt or another neutral color. These are not used for resting between rounds.
