No Lucy,
I didn't take any pictures of Alex pre fight. I was hoping to take lots during the fight, but I lost my seat somehow. And taking pictures with ropes in the way is a waste of time.
You know what, this was only the second time ever, that I have been to a fight where I didn't spend the whole night looking through a camera lens. And it really was a strange experience. I don't know how to explain it, but I had the most surreal moment of clarity that I'm sure we all get every once in a while were I realized just how strange it is watching 1500 people dressed in their best, who have all payed to watch these young men possibly hurt each other. This all happened when I saw young Mike get cut so badly. Then I all of a sudden became very, very concerned about Alex. I guess mostly because he hadn't fought for so long. So, It was such a relief to see him do so well.
Anyway, my wife tried to explain such a feeling from the very first she went to a fight, but I didn't really understand her. I guess we all just get used to it, but this show somehow felt like it was the first time I had seen a fight for what it is. It was a very strange sensation.
