Fight Photos
Manga drawing by Richard Baron
Note: More recent fights are
towards the bottom;
but, they are not in perfect order by date.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we do always receive the fights
from photographers
in their exact order by date
Disclaimer:
Please note pictures are only brief snaphots and may not accurately reflect all
that happened during a particular fight.
Please send us photos of your favorite fights
along with the name of the person to you want to receive the photocredit.
we will publish as many as possible.
NOTE:
Our policy is to post any and all photos sent
to us, except for redundant
duplicates of the same scene-such as multiple
post fight poses. We absolutely will not undertake to edit fight
photos to "balance"
them for "fairness"-that is an impossible,
and thankless task which years
of experience has proven will inevitably leave someone unhappy.
I believe it is also inappropriate and unethical for us to decide whether
any
photo accurately represents what happened in a fight we did not even see!
Please bear in mind that ALL photos are only a snap shot of a few
moments of a fight, and cannot possibly be a full and totally fair
representation
of everything that happened during the fight.
If you feel your performance as a fighter was not fully or objectively
represented by the photos submitted to us either by your opponent or the
promoter,
or a photographer, remember that is almost always the case. Photos
represent but a
brief moment in a fight.
However, we are always more than happy to post any additional photos
you may have of a particular fight. In fact, if you wish to send a written
caption
explaining a particular photo, we will be happy post it under the picture.
For example, if there is a picture of
you on the canvass, due to a slip. and you are afraid
viewers will assume its a
knockdown, I will post your explanation under the photo-so long as you
are willing to take responsibility for the caption and be quoted-
It is not our responsibility to edit or remove photos in order to
"balance" fight photos sent to us.
That puts us in the untenable position of making very subjective and time
consuming decisions as to which photos "accurately"
represent everything that took place.
so, please do not ask.
Also, We longer have the space to post pictures of head gear
or padded fights with the possible exception of the Queens Cup
tournaments in Thailand.
So, we are limiting ourselves to
the pictures that fans have expressed the most interest in seeing.
Padded fights get very few hits.
We may eventually have to purchase more web space, as this site
is now taking an enormous
of space on the web server.
Much of it due to the enormous amount of photos in over 17 galleries, not
including this fight photo page.
Please send the name of the photographer
who is to receive credit when you send fight photos.
As for fighter profile photos, if you become unhappy with the photos
you submitted to us, for any reason,
we will change them a maximum of once every six months.
We also post any photos you send us for your profile page,
including "sexy"
or glamour shots.
So please make sure
you are reasonably happy with any photos you submit.
This policy statement is posted on our fight photos page.
This also goes for fight repoorts submitted- if your opponent or anyone
else for that matter, sends her report,
and you think its not objective and it probably will not be) I will also post
any
fight report you careto send on the same page.
comments are welcome

Thanks.
