A little shot from a boxing show a couple of weeks ago.

Two boxers, the boxer on the right has a bald head and black gloves and is punching the other more hersute boxer wearing blue gloves on the left right in the nose. There's lots of sweat spray and you can see that the guy's nose has been flattened by the punch.

Classic shot from 2010 - Liam Harisson's second fight against Anuwat Kaewsamrit and I think the first time Muay Thai was seen at the M.E.N arena in Manchester.

#sportsphotography #muaythai #thaiboxing #menarena #manchester #canon #kickboxing
Two Muay Thai boxers, the boxer on the left Anuwat, wearing black shorts with red and gold trim and blue gloves is throwing a hard kick with a grimmace on his face to his opponent Liam Harrison who is wearing red and gold shorts and red gloves. Liam has shuffled both of his keet away from Anuwat's kick which is missing it's target - liam has his hands controlled in the air looking at Anuwat. The referee can be seen in the background looking at the action, although it looks like he blinked when the picture was taken so has his eyes closed. The referee is wearing black pants and a dark blue shirt. We can see the ropes of the boxing ring in the background and a bright spot at the top of the picture where the bright stadium lights are shinning in and lighting the action.

Pretty sure it was this one. This is the front inside cover, I think ABC Warriors was the closing story.

The festival is absolutely amazing to see, if you're ever in Spain this time of the year, I'd recommend a visit - the whole town dresses up in fancy dress and had a real big night of it.

It was very windy yet sunny in Andalusia yesterday so there were lots of people out Kite Surfing. I wish I'd had my main camera but got some nice stuff on my phone regardless.  It looks like amazing fun!

It is dusk and the sky is a very warm blue/ orange colour and you can see some large waves breaking.

I played this at Arcade Club Bury for the first time last weekend, it's a really nice cabinet and a nice, unique intuitive control system that looks and functions like bar taps. Budweiser branded machine pictured.

Technically not a great shot, but certainly one of the most dramatic I got a couple of weeks ago at Supershowdown. When you have a big old gash in your head it's litearally squirting blood as you're attcking there might be a bit of post fight stitching needed.

A white, blonde, Muay Thai boxer wearing blue boxing gloves and white shorts is throwing a knee against his opponent (white, darkhaired wearing gold shorts and red gloves). The boxer throwing the knee has blood on his hair, face, gloves and shorts and we can see a huge stream of blood squirting from the top of his head. We can see the boxing ropes, Red, White Blue and White behind the fighters and some members of the crowd looking up at the fighters.

Re-watching Game of Thrones right now and heading towards that finale of S4. Oberyn Martell pledging "I will be your Champion" hit me right in the feels just like the first time.

A shot I got from a Muay Thai Boxing show in Liverpool from last month - a Spanish fighter here taking on the local lad and ultimately coming out on ttop winning the fight comfortable on points.

#muaythai #photography #sportsphotography #boxing
Two boxers in the corner of a boxing ring- The Boxer on the right is spanish wearing green shorts and gloves. The boxer on the left and backed into the corner is English and is wearing black gloves and blue shorts. The spanish fighter has landed a clean, straight right punch on the english fighter who has his eyes closed and a grimmaced expression on his face. We can see water spray and the red, white and blue ropes from the boxing ring.

A local charity music festival, Glaston-Bury, in my home town often throws up a few surprise apperances. This year it was Belgian Dance DJ Ian Van Dahl (Castles in the Sky - 2000). The guy never stopped bounching around for a full hour. The crowd loved it.
