Two Nations - One Dream Cicero Stadium Tournament December 3rd

On Saturday , December 3rd 2016 Joey Hill and myself had the honor to photograph and provide videos for the Boxing without frontiers -"Two Nations- One Dream Program".  This program headed up by the WBC (World Boxing Council) has had young amateur boxers (ages 9-12 and 13-17) in Mexico City, Acapulco and Chicago attending training sessions and elimination tournaments over the past three months. The tournament on December 3rd at Cicero Stadium was the Chicago elimination 18 matches to choose which of our fine young talented boxers will represent the Chicago during the finals in Mexico in early 2017.

Below the cover photo of our Chicago team is a slideshow of some of my favorite images of the night in gray-scale captured on a great night for all involved in a Great Program.  PLEASE NOTE THE SLIDESHOW IS NOT THE COMPLETE PHOTO GALLERY POSTING OF THE NIGHT.

Fonfara vs Smith Open Workout June 15th Oakley Gym Photo Gallery

The posting of the below images taken on Wednesday June 15th, 2016  has not been on my important  "to do list" for the past week but before they are filed away forever , I thought I should take a look at them ...and make a few comments.

Of course, I would have liked a different outcome of the Saturday match of Joe Smith (22/ 1 with 18 KO's ) vs Andrzej Fonfara ( 28/ 4 with 16 KO's) . nothing against Mr. Smith but I like to think of Andrzej as a friend, a client , and of course, there's that Chi-Town Boxing bonding thing so I have to cheer for that Polish Chicago guy. But you got to give credit where credit is due and damn that Irish Construction worker by day and Bad Ass Boxer by night can hit like a strom moving in ....We all know, in Boxing "things happen" ..

Below the two cover images of Andrzej Fonfara and Joe Smith are some slideshows of selected images from the Open Workout.

Being a curious photog and wondering what other photog's were capturing ...I did notice that there were approximately six professional camera's, maybe 1/2 dozen prosumer camera's , 10 plus phone camera / I-pads and not one remote flash.  It looked to me that all those camera's were getting the same image.  So I just went looking for the open work pic's and I could only find a couple of sites that have any posted....Wonder where all those pictures go to ?  

Cheers, Tomba ....
