So just a few hours after covering the Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks playoff game at Barclays Center, I was off to Madison Square Garden to photograph championship boxing: heavyweights Wladimir Klitschko vs. Brandon Jennings. The fight was a good one...Jennings was game...but it was Klitschko who dominated, to the thrill of the Ukrainian's fans, who filled the arena. All in all it was a long (the fight ended after midnight) but very exciting day as I love both boxing and basketball. And most importantly...I love what I do.
