The Contender Asia - Episode 7

My photos from Episode 7. This was a match up between Zidov Akuma and local hero Kim Khan Zaki. The match ended prematurely when Zach suffered a shoulder injury in the second round. The last image of him backstage after the match is one of my favourite shots from the entire season.
