SO this chap was in a motor bike accident, those are all his plastic surgery scars. He is not a boxer but as pro football player. But we where at a boxing ring.

I love this photo a lot. The lighting is great and it creates a mood and sentiment incredible and amazing. I think this photo shouldve ended in the top 10. Great job.
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: What an amazing (and slightly brutal) portrait. The back story this evokes is amazing; the arm wounds, complete with grafts makes the viewer want to know about him and his life. I think your editing is perfect, I can see that the low light has led to some slight focus difficulties, but your edit has minimised the impact of these while contributing a good deal of drama.
Critical stuff: Only the slight focus issue but you have fully overcome it.
Technically a great shot. I have trouble relating the arm damage to boxing. Maybe just my inexperience; but it looks more like major burn wound trauma.
