Boxing camera angles

The sound engineer annoys me more tbh bud
Wish he could silence Bellew

Good question though and not something ive ever thought about
Will watch a few future shows with this in mind

 

There was a video that a fan filmed of a Floyd fight from a diagnol high a for and it was brilliant. Almost like the first ever FIFA sort of view.

Was like this but another fight

the gervonte uppercut shot from above caused this post

 

I said this after the Smith Ryder fight. I was there and for me Smith won, Ryder and his team all though Smith won and originally didn’t argue until they watched it back and seen the online debate.

It’s different being there than watching it on tv.

 

I was actually going to make this exact thread the other night. It's something I always think about. It's like they use a camera angle that should only be sometimes used, all the time. I prefer the angle that shows the entire ring and is above the height of the ring.

 

That’s certainly true. To be honest, as much as I like going to fights for the atmosphere etc I do prefer watching the bigger fights at home for this very reason. I certainly see more and have the benefit of replays, that sort of thing.

Also I don’t have to queue to ****.

 

Perhaps there is value there in trying to introduce a bit of innovation. Remember on Sky Sports 15-20 years ago and you could click the red button to change the camera view. I have no idea if they still have that because I haven't had Sky in years. But one of the cameras was "player cam" and you could just focus on viewing a particular player. That would have been great for scouts.

Anyway, point I'm making is in boxing you could have the same thing with different camera options for birdseye, close up, far out.

It is a pet hate for me as well when all they show is the action from the upper body.

 

What we need are VR masks and a VR camera at ringside. We can sit inbetween Bellew and Penfold!

 

Imagine sitting next to Bellew during a Price or Chisora fight. You’d be covered in slobber before the second round.

 

VAR in the premier league is one man sat alone in a portakabin.

How about in boxing one judge is sat alone backstage locked in a room, no phone or communication, watching the fight with no commentary and can score the bout?

 

Don't worry about camera angles. All you need to know is that Chisora is in the best shape of his career and we've got Katie Taylor again in a couple of weeks time, and can Dillian Whyte regain his position among the absolute elite of heavyweight division, and "Anthony Joshua !", yes, the excitement is giving you a hard-on.

 

VR not VAR mate.
