Some of my favorite Hitz Weigh-In "portraits" from last week ...

While capturing images during weigh-in's that will be used for the promoter's future poster usage and Tale of Tape teleprompter usage  , I try to capturing standard poses that fit well in designingfight posters.  But when given the opportunely I try to capture some poses that I like.  Normally I try not spent over one minute in taking up the fighters as many don't really want to spend time in front of a camera and many just want to weigh-in and get some food since they been starving themselves all day plus so there's very little time to share.

Below are a few posed type images captured during  the Bobby Hitz June 16th weight-in at Real Sports in Elk Grove Village in preparation for the Hitz Fight Night at The Belvedere Hall.

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 ....
