The ring itself is softer than concrete so you don't die if you land on the back of your head. The ring also affects how you gather energy from the ground, just like fighting on loose dirt gravel or sand is different than fighting on a mat, or concrete where your shoes have grip. It's a small consideration but an important one.

steel toes are a lot harder to maintain proper footwork than barefoot or in Asics. For the blue collar guys out there.

Good training should always include at least light sparring in street clothes on real surfaces. Also in bare feet in snow, if you're not a pussy.

I learned to fight on grass, couldn't afford the gym. Few roudy kids and couple of dad's who used to fight passing along what they knew. 15 was when I joined Golden Gloves and finally had my first fights in a ring and a real coach.
