Night at the Fights IV

Finally, the winner of the match in my previous three shots. After the bell ended the final round, the opponents each went to their corners, where their trainers removed their gloves. As soon as this man got his first hand free, he gave a "thumbs-up" to his opponent, congratulating him for a match well-fought. This was a very close match; and no one knew until the scores were tallied who, in fact, was the winner. This man won, and you will see in the workshop that he was not only younger, but taller than his opponent, giving him a longer reach. I was impressed with the professionalism as well as the skill of both of these men.

Two more in this series, folks, and then I lay it to rest. Thanks for bearing with me.

PP work--increased midtones(20); did some red-eye touch-up; cropped to the dimensions of the golden rectangle, and cloned out the blur of the top rope of the boxing ring (on the lower left corner). I didn't crop the rope from the bottom because I didn't want to lose that much of the arm or the trainer.
