WELTERWEIGHT WARS - Shots from the Showtime doubleheader at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. The card featured two welterweight bouts between Miguel Cotto-Carlos Quintana and Antonio Margarito-Joshua Clottey. Fun card, the two main bouts were very entertaining...got a few decent ones, but was generally frustrated with what I ended up with...just felt like an off night...it happens. Thanks for looking.

Nice series! I shot Joshua a while back ... very powerful, dynamic and intense fighter ... a bit like Tim Bradley was at the card I shot Friday (images posted here.) My next effort will be to concentrate on telling the story better with my images as you do ... I think it is time for you to venture back out here to God's country for wine tasting and shooting. Perhaps if we get the MMA events at the casino! :-)

Thanks guys, Dwight I know you shot Clottey before (I was two spots away from you...hehe) He's a tough shoot because a lot of his features get lost in the shadows, he is intense though and an action guy. He broke his hand in the fourth round, and the bout seemed to change a bit there.

Appreciate the comments, I wasnt happy with what I got on Saturday, although ESPN the Mag picked up two of the Margarito shots from our wire service, no word on whether they will run though.

Dwight, I could use another trip to the winery...

The lighting and exposure is awsome on those. What were they shot with and what settings?

The first posted shot seems to sum up the set pretty well...

The sequencing of the photographs was a little bit confusing because of the slight similarity in the last names...

Does the IS come in to play on the 70-200mm 2.8 IS at any time at all?

That's a bit of a haul for you to AC isn't it?

John,

I do not have the IS version of the 70-200...wasnt necessary for my shooting.

It takes about 2.5 hours to get to AC from my house, not too bad at all, you get used to the travel, I shoot mostly boxing, so I'm in the car quite a bit between NYC, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods and Atlantic City...

They crowded us about two feet away from peter and toney, you have no idea how hard it was to get them in the frame...two big guys...
