Friday Night Rumble (Boxing)

[phsv]

Here are some shots from one of the matches of that evening.. It was held in a civic center so lighting wasn't the best to work with. This was the first time I ever shot a boxing match. It sure was a challenge and hard to NOT keep your finger on the shutter button. Many props to those that photograph boxing events.

Any comments or critiques for these photos?

This is a tough shoot. Hard to be in the right spot at the right time. I shot an event like this a while back. You did a good job with the lighting. I like #2 and it might look cool if you cropped just the ref and the fallen boxer. Cut out the other boxer.

Yeah, it was a tough event because the lighting would change constantly because of how things were set up. Yeah I like that cropping idea. Thanks.
