Fantastic, great to see some Boxing shots for a change, I'm a massive Boxing fan but the hugely expensive tickets do stop me from attending.
#1 Love the colour/lighting
#2 Looks slightly washed out to the 1st, not as vibrant
#3 Best action and somewhere inbetween the other 2 pics for vibrancy/colour

Lucky you gettting ringside.

1st edit/ just checked the Flickr ones and you have some even better shots there of the Dunne fight, some great action shots.

I feel that shot selection is one of my downfalls

Just read this in the other thread and after seeing what Boxing pictures you left on Flickr I'd have to agree!!!
In Boxing the action shots are def more important than the quality maybe, especially if theres not much diff in the quality.

Brilliant photos. Love the detail in them. Nice colour too, without over-saturation.

Great 3rd image. Looks like he's taunting him.

Yeah there was a whole lot of taunting and goading last night.
I'm surprised there were no pics of the crotch-grabbing and chin-sticking-out'ing.

/back on topic..

Nice shots, its nice to see something different. Good action in them and would have to agree with PaulW.

What kit were you using?

Can't be easy to work in that light.
Good to see another sport covered.

Nikon D300, NIKON 80-200 2.4 AND 50MM 1.8

Most of them were taken with the 50mm

The light was grand, no probs at all the only problem was wiping the sweat and at one stage blood from the lens, now I really must post the money shot on random photo thread!
