Portraits of losing and winning boxing fighters shot right after they came out of the ring in the oldest amateur's competition in Brazil, called the "The Champion's Forge". Without sponsors this is the one shot they have to become professionals and try a career in a country where boxing is not a popular sport. Losing or winning looks almost the same thing for each one in the rush of adrenaline that follows those 30 seconds after combat.
