I don't often convert images to black and white. Definitely not nearly an entire set. This was one occasion where I felt the images actually worked better in black and white with the exception of a couple. I was solo this fight week so I captured what I could including some behind-the-scenes on fight night with limited time available between rounds. Although Hernandez won via a sixth-round technical decision, the last image seemed to capture the mood between both fighters. Neither wanted the fight to end the way it did, stoppage due to what was ruled an accidental head clash.
