His next stop is Here's a photo from the Jordan Burroughs match at the Beat The Streets invitational. Jordan was too damn dominant and he was toying with his opponent with footwork,feints and takedowns.. and wound beating him 11-2..good times..this'll be the second time I watch Jordan whoop ass in Times Square as he fears up for the Summer Games to do battle in Rio against the world's best wrestlers for a second Olympic Gold Medal. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #sport #wrestling #themainevent #alliseeisgold #getthewin #beatthestreets #whoopasstakenames #roadtorio http://ift.tt/1YOecsO

Tonight's post is continuing to show the pro wrestling photos I shot at the Ring of Honor War of the Worlds show in NYC. This match was an tag team match pitting the Young Bucks three other teams. It went from 0 too 100 real quick once the action left the ring. Right here the man flying is Nick Johnson from one of the hottest tag teams, The Young Bucks. He's executing a suicide dive on his two opponents.. I'm surprised I came away with this photo to be honest.. The arena was loud and energetic and the match was off the chain..📸:@anthonybgeathers #prowrestling #ringofhonor #waroftheworlds #puroresu #tagteamaction #everybodycangetit #themainevent http://ift.tt/1Tgqlbz

see the man with the long hair maintaining side headlock control? Thats Hiroshi Tanahashi. One of the best pro wrestlers on the planet, he's the only man to hold the IGWP World Heavyweight Title of all the historic wrestlers to win the legendary Japanese based world championship, including Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle,a record 7 times.I started watching him in my teens and became one of my favorites to watch. It was insane on Saturday that years later I got to photograph a match of his on American soil. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #welcometothebigfight #puroresu #prowrestling #strongstyle #ringofhonor #monochrome #tellstories #everybodycangetit #kingofsports http://ift.tt/1qpKNck

New portrait of the main man @strother_pt made yesterday inside the Lower East Side debuting his new shirts for potential buyers and clients.We've been working together for about 3 years and it's dope when we get to create cause there's always a chance to me to stay uncomfortable and outside of the comfort zone and keep working the portraiture side of the game. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #portraits #monochrome #stayuncomfortable #alwaysstrivingtobebetter #lowereastside http://ift.tt/1UXb6DF

I usually don't celebrate holidays but today is the exception. This woman raised me and my brothers by herself..gotta admit, we had our battles and hardships and I was a handful growing up but she taught me and my brothers how to be strong in this world, stand on our two feet and how to live our dreams stubbornly(In a good way)whatever that would be. So know y'all know where I get my stubborness from lol. Today's post is an simple ode to my mom for this special day.And yea, I had to take a picture of her. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #portraits #monochrome #happymothersday http://ift.tt/1q80On7

In 2012 I met this incredible woman and incredible fighter and told her story with my camera.Through trials and tribulations she climbed the hill to the mountaintop to win her first MMA World Championship at Invicta FC tonight. Pretty dope to see her prove the naysayers wrong and to see her stay the course and win a world title. Can't keep a good woman down from following and accomplishing her goals.Congrats @angieoverkill !!!!! Keep stuntin' on these fools and prove them all wrong! 📸:@anthonybgeathers #sport #mma #invictafc #newworldchampion #andthenew #monochrome #portraits #mistyknightsteez #capturethegold #determined http://ift.tt/1T4WMXl

This weekend, the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will be the center of the universe as @amirkingkhan looks to pull off the upset of the year when he goes one on one with WBC and Ring Magazine middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night. Last time Amir fought, he put on an electrifying performance with Chris Algieri in Brooklyn in May 2015. Amir Khan in his pro career has never lost a fight in the month of May which is pretty damn scary. After watching Canelo-Khan 24/7 and witnessing him in Brooklyn for the first time last year as well as following his career, I'm rooting for him to win on Saturday night. Can't wait for this big money fight to happen this weekend. By the way I photographed his fight in BK last year📸:@anthonybgeathers #boxing #middleweightchampionshipoftheworld #khanelo #hboboxing #monochrome #bigmoneyfight #canelokhan http://ift.tt/1rWxvGc

10 times the champion. Tonight's post is coming from my personal project photographing the NY Golden Gloves tournament for the first time, shooting 3 of the 4 boxers from Atlas Cops and Kids Gym and I got to photograph @cruz_in_nyc capture her 10th consecutive Golden Gloves championship. I remember shooting her in my first year working in sports and coming full circle years later, the powers that be allowed me to witness her make history. It's always a blast when I get to witness women continue to prove themselves in the sports world, whether dominating in a ring/cage, track field, pro wrestling ring or whatever field, it's an honor to photograph strong women accomplishing their wildest dreams and goals. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #boxing #10timesthechampion #allgold #futureworldchamp #roadtorio #teamusa #barclayscenter #goldengloves2016 #willtowin http://ift.tt/1rb6q11

This summer's gonna be great again..gonna be back on the courts shooting ball once again! It's been a hectic year between prepping to graduate and what not but I'm still shooting. This photo was from last year at The Cage. The place was live, music was boomin like crazy and the intensity was at a altimeter high, being that playoffs were approaching and the retrace was on to get in. Can't wait to get back to the street ball scene! 📸:@anthonybgeathers #streetball #thecage #west4th #gohardinthepaint #monochrome #newyorkstateofmind #playtimeisover http://ift.tt/24fMBEa

Portrait + tintype edit of the 2 Division World Champion @davidbranch32. I finally got him in the studio!! It's been a long journey for the brotha man and I'm glad I get to use my work to share his story and celebrate his accomplishments, coming from nothing and using the fire of his will to become a champion. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #sport #mma #worldseriesoffighting #middleweightchampionoftheworld #lightheavyweightchampion #alliseeisgold #mandown #alwayshungry #notplayinggames http://ift.tt/24bG6SE

Today's post coming from my little personal project shooting the fighters from Atlas Cops and Kids Gym whoop ass in the Golden Gloves tournament finals in NYC. Let me tell ya'll.. There was no playing games that night. Coach Sosa (right) made sure that 2016 US Olympian Bruce Carrington (@bruce_carrington) keep the threat level at an all time high during his fight to win the title. Good times at the Barclays Center. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #notplayinggames #mandown #boxing #winningtitlesallday #goldengloves2016 #barclayscenter http://ift.tt/1VF62VS

Today's post is not a celebratory photo at all, this is the side of the story that's got to be told..it's not going to be triumphs all the time..every time I get to work with any athlete I get close to them, which helps me help tell their stories, their triumphs and bumps in their road to becoming the best in any sport that they're in. Last night in the PBC on NBC main event of Errol Spence Jr. Vs Chris Algieri, which I was photographing Algieri the whole fight week..him and Errol went at it for five rounds before Errol got the best of Chris in last night's fight. Let me tell ya'll.. I love what I do but when I see the homies lose, it don't sit well with me, whether I'm shooting them live or I'm watching from the TV or whatever, its a feeling I know for a fact that don't sit well with them first of all, then myself because I hate for these guys' families and friends to see them go through the loss. But with the athletes I've shot and built relationships with that I'm glad to have built, I know that they got that dog in them to come back and keep fighting, figuratively and literally..that's why I was always a fan of Allen Iverson..Chris will be back in full effect and right back in the mix of this very prominent welterweight division. It's been a blast spending time and building work with the homie. 📸:@anthonybgeathers #welterweightdivision #boxing #sport #tellstories #roughnightintheoffice #victoriesanddefeats #gottatellthestory #roadtoredemption http://ift.tt/1MC3AvQ
