Fight For Youth Boxing in CHCH

[BlueRose]

Our work colleague decided to fight for Cure Kids in this tournament. I volunteered to shoot and was asked by the organiser to shoot the Red Carpet and then the audience when the boxing was on.

Here are some of the highlights - more up on Flickr









And the man himself - fought hard but lost by only one point. Knocked his opponent off his feet in the first round!



I had a really interesting time, and learnt a lot. Pleased also that I was relatively well prepared. Mostly I need knee pads!

Flash looks great, any diffuser or bounce card?

What are those blue gloves etc for?! I thought these charity boxing events were supposed to be just for show?!

[Photocol]

You have some nice shots, the flickr ones are great.. even the cheeky one

[randomguy]

the guy wearing gloves is the 'cutman' i presume?

great shots.. nice to be at ringside for such events!

[Ashley Daws]

Good stuff - any fight shots?

Thanks guys - I was shooting the red carpet entry and audience shots only - they had a pro guy doing the fight shots so I dont have any of those.

Shot with my homemade diffuser on the flash
