Which lens? (rental)
Serious:
For the baptisim, I tend to agree with the 50mm. No point in renting anything for that.
For the boxing a high speed lens is essential. Depending on how far you are away from the action the focal length matters. Therefore the 85mm f1.4 should be a good option. £33 for a day isn't cheap though.

could be a good call, I once did an ice-hockey match from way up in the stands with a 90mm f/2.5. If you're accurate with the focussing you can crop really tight with a nice piece of prime glass on action shots.

Ive gone for the 70-200 to give me the flexibility. I figure the ring will be well lit so hopefully I wont have to go too high ISO, its also a relatively small event so I think I'll be able to get reasonably close to the ring.
Decision made now, we'll see how it goes tomorrow night.
I've borrowed a manfotto monopod in case I cant keep steady enough but hopefully I wont have to use it.

good luck and don't forget to post us some results :)
