I've been watching a bunch of middle-weight boxers spar and train since late June of this year. The motions of lighter fighters are marked with tons of speed, quickness and agility. But heavyweights? They're a different story. These guys lumber around the ring, lean on their opponents, pound the heavy bag and take swings that you would NOT want to be on the other side of. I shot a few portraits of JP, an ex-football playing heavyweight from Sacramento looking for his first professional fight.
