How about showing the fighters using the rosin box in their corners before the fight starts in the Fight Screen?

What about a scene of the two boxers touching gloves with the ref between just before the bell rings?

How about announcing weights in the text using a random number from the range we input? "...In the red corner from [insert city/country here] weighing 195 and a half [or 13st 13lbs]...[insert fighter's name].

For old time bouts have generic scene of seconds swinging towels at their fighters between rounds?

For pre-1960s bouts replace ring card girls with time-keeper's bell.

At some point in the distant future it would be cool if you could have era-specific options available. For instance, in the early days it was very common for a fighter's corner to toss in the sponge or towel as a sign their fighter was unfit to continue. Fighters would also refuse to come out for the next round when they'd taken a bad beating or were suffering a serious injury. Fighters would also lose on a foul from a low blow or breach of rules like hitting on the break. In the very early glove era fights were often stopped by local constables when one man was in danger of knockout and the fight awarded by the referee. Sometimes a fighter would refuse to enter the ring because the crowd was small and his guarantee was based on the gate receipts.
