A spot of boxing from last Friday night. Many thanks to Ed (muls) Mulholland for setting it up. More pics from the Meager vs Thaxton fight can be seen at Fightwireimages.com: http://www.photoshelte​r.com …ery-show/G0000ByHB09HLAeo (external link)

I'll stick to the punching action as there was plenty of it.

Up close and personal for starters...

Wow - fantastic timing and shots there. That right eye of the eventual winner looks a tad painful though!!!

Great shots, really like No6 the way he has just taken the punch and the water droplets against the black, good the way the ref is framed between them.

quite superb shots Gavin looks like it was a brutal fight as both fighters look battered.

Amazing captures Gavin. Boxing is on my list of activities that I want to cover at some stage although I'd imagine it's alot harder than I expect.
