Last weekend I was assigned to cover a boxing tournament. I was excited! My first time shooting boxing. I didn’t care at all that it was amateurs battling it out in the ring. I was just looking for blood spatter and knockouts!

Yeah I know … It was amateurs in the ring, soft gloves and helmets and crap like that and only 3 or 4 round bouts, so the odds were completely against me. A couple of boxers did get a bloody nose but no beat up faces or boxers going down. Og well … I had good fun anyway.
