This IS a retired Boxer (Not a model). He fought at the old Madison Square Garden in NYC and now works as a Bar Back and Bouncer in Hell's Kitchen. He's a really nice guy but also shows the wear from his trade in a scary way. I would say he IS exactly The Boxer that Paul Simon was writing about...no question. Not a poser.

Ooooh, I love this one. The lighting is so dramatic. I really love that slight smile. It gives him a macho, but contented air about him. Fabulous job as always. . . but. . . You always have such great stories to go with your amazing portraits. What's the scoop????
Love the lighting & the direct look of the subject. Good use of black & white. For a boxer, I want to see his hands in focus too so larger DOF would help here.
