Robot Boxing

In the future we can assume that sports are bound to change no matter whether we like it or not, in the movie Reel Steel they give us an example of this change by bringing us robots who can box. This seems to be a way to keep humans out of the ring because of dangers but using robots they are able to make bets and have fun watching the sport of boxing without anyone getting hurt. In the movie the technology with robots is what advanced other than that the world hasn't changed very much if one was to think about it this could be the more realistic change that will happen later on in the future because flying cars and teleporters are a bit drastic of a change. Robots are able to take commands from the owner and dish them out in the ring against their opponents or they can be in a certain mode called "Shadow Mode" which allows the robot to copy who ever it is paying attention to, a form of mimicry. This technology is advanced but it isn't too far from us, today we have certain things like motion sensors that detect movement who's to say we aren't on the verge of being able to create robots that can copy our movements. This could be proved to be very useful technology depending on how it is used. If society uses it as they do in the movie it could be very profitable and people won't be the ones getting hurt in the ring.
