ESPN Friday Night Fights at the Target Center / Minneapolis, MN / 01-03-14

On Friday, 01-03-14, I photographed ESPN Friday Night Fights at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN. Iron Mike Productions, Seconds Out Promotions and Warrior Boxing put on the event. 

I've photographed other Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA events for other promotors, but not for these three. 

I want to say, Thank You, to Andre Courtemanche, with Big Media Buzz for getting me a seat at ring side to photograph this event. Although, there was one fight, Caleb Truax vs Ossie Duran, that I had to give up my seat to the photographer for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. There wasn't anymore openings around the ring so I had to photograph about 6 feet back from the ring. The shots for that fight have at least one rope in between the camera and the fights. When that fight was over then I was back photographing from ring side.
