Snap,
I like #6 best,followed by #1. Is that a chandelier in # 2? Its kind of distracting, kinda takes my eye to it every ting I scroll through for some reason.

Really like em alot kickboxing should be hard for your lens,low light fast subjects. do you mind sharing what apperature/ Lens you used?
I think the guy in #3 looks like he shouldnt be kickboxing. no offense

Yeah pac, that is a chandelier. I shot this in a hotel event room- not exactly a sporty environment, but what are you gonna do. I just take what they give me.

snake- I don't want to give everything away, but I'll tell you this- I don't own any L, USM, or stabilized glass. That said, no, shooting kickboxing isn't easy, and not every fighter necessarily looks like an athlete. I will say however, that on the regional level, I've seen far worse examples of non-athletes in MMA, and even in boxing:

^^I've seen this guy fight in both MMA and boxing, and he ain't the only fatso in the mix.

Got some great catches as usual. # cracks me up for some reason. :)

I've seen my fair share of really large guys in MMA also. I've about crapped my pants a couple of times when they start coming through ropes. I even get nervous if they hit the door on the cage too hard and I'm shooting through it sometimes. lol

Yeah im not saying he was not athletic looking alone. It was his expression + physical appearance.
Looks like he got rocked pretty hard
