[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Félix Savón Fabre (September 22, 1967) is a 6ft 6in (198 cm) tall Cuban boxer, a winner of three gold medals at the Olympic Games.
Born in San Vicente, Savón began his boxing career in 1980. During his career, in which he did not turn professional, he managed a career record of 362-21.
He won his first important titles in 1985. Besides winning the Cuban heavyweight title (which he would win each year until his retirement, except 1999 and 2000 when he lost to Odlanier Solis), he also won the Junior World Championships in 1985.
This set off his career, in which he would win 6 World Championships (though one of these was the result of the disqualification of an opponent) and three Olympic gold medals. The latter feat is shared with only two other boxers, László Papp and compatriot Teófilo Stevenson.
After winning his third Olympic gold at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Savón announced his retirement at age 33.

Rafael este retrato esta bien hecho. Los colores blanco y negro trabajan muy bien para darle mas caracter at sujeto. Es una image solida con buena nitidez y uso de luz. Me acuerdo de varias peleas de este gran boxeador. Realmente una proeza en el deporte. Cuando pienso sobre el tamano de Cuba y su poblacion me admiro de la cantidad de buenos atletas que han salido de ese pais. Es una lastima que la situacion actual limite el potencial de muchos otros atletas. Gracias amigo.

Que buena foto Rafa, este es uno de mis ídolos del deporte. Me encanta el B&N que le resalta en su cara la situación en que están muchas de esas grandes glorias del deporte.
Un abrazo
