First Youth Boxing Match

I am not really a sports photography enthusiast as I am still working on my people photo taking skills, I do mostly nature and landscape stuff but my little cousin had a boxing match last night so I thought I would try to see what I could do..I would appreciate any C&C please.

Haha I like in number 5 your little cousin has made a king hit and is looking straight at the camera with pride

I may have used a very slightly faster shutter speed for 3,4,5 but thats probably just my personal taste. Only very slightly, not to stop the action.

Nice shots. I really like that last one

Thanks so much Matt for the advice, I only used the sports icon setting on my 50D simply becuase I am still learning about taking action shots and so can you possibly suggest a shutter speed in the TV mode for me? I would greatly appreciate it!!! I would love to get some ideas for shooting in the TV mode.

these are great, the gloves are almost as big as the kids.

Really like number 4. #6 would be a great black and white!

Thanks!!
