Javi "El Gallo" Vega
Javi is a friend of mine - I met him working at Franks Diner in Kenosha. Currently a student at the Illinois Institute of Art, he still comes up from the Chicago area now and then for breakfast at the diner... or when he has a fight scheduled in the Kenosha/Racine area.
This shot was taken last Saturday night at Racine's Memorial Hall. I'd been invited by a trainer to take pictures of his two fighters in the ring. His fellows did not have the best of nights, one losing a split decision and the other falling to one of the international up and comers in the Ultimate Fighting world.
For his part, Javi had a great night. He tore through his opponent (upper left) like a weed whacker through dry grass. It was a short, but sweet fight for Javi.
