Fill a transparent tank with a clear syrup and submerge two boxers equipped with small air tubes incorporated into their gum shields and weights in their boots.
With the punches and other moves slowed down to a fraction of their normal speed, the match would turn into a point scoring exercise. Landing
a punch on your opponent would suddenly become more difficult, taking between three and five seconds for a boxer to straighten his arm.
Different divisions could form, based not only around the weight of the boxer, but the viscosity of the medium in which they fight.

I was going to link to Jello Fights, then thought better of it. |
|
| |
Reminds me of the underwater bar fight staged in the 1984 comedy "Top Secret!". |
|
| |
This is very tremendous. Very tremendous indeed. |
|
| |
I always wondered what "slow pitch softball" was all about. Now I know. |
|
| |
Instead of slow-mo replay would they have fast-mo? |
|
| |
I can' really think of anything to add to this idea other than my seal of approval. |
|
| |
But wouldn't it also take a long time to dodge the punch? The anticipation would be awesome. "He's going to hit ... he's going to hit ... he's going to hit ... he's hit." |
|
| |
Mind you, first aid could be a problem. |
|
| |
It's not like the punches are going to do any damage. Maybe you'd need a harness on the boxer's back, though, so that you could haul them out in case of emergency. |
|
| |
me? hell no, I was thinking that any medical aid required would wait till it was all over anyway! |
|
| |
It would be fun to be a spectator cheering in slow-mo. |
|
| |
Would you even bleed if your body was completely surrounded by corn syrup? |
|
| |
There would be no slow-mo punches and kicks, as that would be foolish. There's too little momentum to cause any damage from a punch. |
|
| |
The game would revolve around who could get into position to squeeze the other using wrestling/judo moves instead of balistic punches/kicks. |
|
| |
That said, it should still be fun to play or watch. |
|
| |
Amber, you mean? Jeez, whatta sappy fight that was. |
|
| |
I wanna see this applied to every sport out there. Even ones with giant windmills. (obscure halfbakery reference). |
|
| |
Just like watching karate in 'bullet time.' |
|
| |
It would be very laborious to just BREATHE. Looks like fun though (bun). |
