The corner structure of a LPW ring showing the attachment of the ring ropes to the ring post via the padded turnbucklesThe configuration and construction of the "traditional" ring is very similar to that of a boxing ring, though the wrestling version has three ring ropes (one fewer than the standard boxing ring which evolved into a four-rope structure). In addition, the ring ropes are not tethered together at their midpoint. Most (if not all) wrestling rings also incorporate more in the way of padding and shock absorbing construction than boxing rings, although this varies according to the preferences of the promoter.
