My father use to be a boxer and my little brother is currently fighting as an amateur. The sport is a pretty common topic in my family, so I love covering any ringside event. Love it.
There is a wonderful contradiction between the blood-thirsty punches and the great grace it takes to dance in the ring. While many of the screaming fans demand red, most of the fighters I have met are gentle, humble people. I think their fascination with the sport comes from a beauty in the demanded discipline, not the broken noses.
The culture surrounding fighting craves for a primitive brutality and sexuality. And that seems to speak to all our inherent nature.
Here are a few images from Friday's Fight Night at the Tank series at HP Pavilion in San Jose.
