I was lucky in that Johnny Tapia came to my side of the ring when

the first scorecard was announced even 114-114, prompting him to go

into prayer mode (He won on the other two cards 115-113 and captured

the IBF Featherweight title in a disputed decision)

Mr Mulholland, I like the shot it has good emotion. I believe film would have been the better medium, the digital noise is quite distracting.

I agree, film probably would have been the better medium, however I was shooting for a 24/7 boxing website, and need to submit my photos immediately following the event, so digital suits the need. Don't know why the noise was higher on this one than the others???

I like the sense drama in this photo. The perspiration and the welts visible on Tapia's shoulder really convey the intensity of boxing. The figures in the background are a bit distracting, however.

Two very rare 9's from me for this shot.

 

The blood sweat and tears are all evident and that is all. No identity of the fighter adds to the world he lives in.

 

This is alomost a saleable photo. To make it so in my opinion you would need to edit out the mans head in his imediate background.

 

Fantastic shot

Thank you for the compliments. I understand totally about the guy in the immediate background. It's very hard to shoot with all the people in the ring at major fights. I havent edited out, because I dont know how boxing magazines, which are really the only outlet to sell this to would feel about that. I have contacted a few regarding this and other photos. Thanks again.
