Last week was a whole lot of fighting. My brother came to visit me in Salinas and train for an upcoming fight at Rocks Boxing Gym. Every other day I got to sit in a steamy gym and watch my baby brother get beat up by recently turned professional boxer, Adolfo Gonzales.
I’ve come to two conclusions while watching Sam fight:
1) When it comes to family, I often have trouble taking photographs because I am too much of a fan.
2) Adolfo is really fast, and Sam is really tough.
So instead of pictures of Sam getting hit in the face, I’m posting photos from the Central Coast Throwdown II last weekend at Palma High School. Sam and I were fortunate enough to cover the this together, as he took notes on each fighter. We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of competition. Here are a few of my favorite frames in a new flash slideshow format.
