The Contender Asia – Episode 8

22 April 2008 4 Comments

Am a little behind on publishing these so will give this more attention and wrap up the series over the next couple of weeks. This is Episode 8 which say Yukay Karlsson from Sweeden in action against Pitu Sans from Spain. “Stunning” is one word to describe the knockout that ended this match. As I said over on lostinfocus.org, this is probably the first time I ever felt ill from photographing sports – such was the impact of seeing Pitu land in front of me (for those of you who do not already know, Pitu, despite being knocked out, was fortunately not significantly harmed). Five of my favourite shots follow.

Pitu looks visibly shaken after receiving a crunching blow to the face

12
Yukay’s follow through after the knockout punch. Pitu was effectively unconcious on his way to the mat.

13
An unconcious Pitu is counted out while Yukay looks on from a neutral corner.
