    Yeah, pretty much- and staying on terms with Berto and constantly doing interviews, etc. I actually live about 15 minutes away from Winter Park. I always think about trying to track him down and have a talk with him.
    Being from NY, I have access to many of the best prospects here in the Big Apple. There is a ton of talent out here and I've had a great time following their progresses. Particularly blue chips characters like Kid Chocolate Peter Quillin and Roberto Benitez, those guys are for real.

      Man Asian good job. I love watching Edison in the ring, I surely though he was gonna win the fight in germany. If he gets past Green I'd love to see him strap on the gloves and go in there and fight Taylor. I'm a big fan of both fighters and would love to see the victor of that fight.

        Yeah, it's definitely a real good place to be as a boxing fan. You're still young, right, 19 I think? What are your plans? Maybe get a journalism degree and get hired by a paper that runs boxing articles, or get a magazine journalism degree and work for the ring? Or do you just want to freelance and be online, etc? Curious as to your plans....

          Oh yeah Miranda against Taylor would definitely be a good one.

            I dunno, I haven't decided. I originally planned on attending Columbia University and studying journalism, but I had to withdraw my application because I'm moving to Florida in April. Instead, I'll probably take some writing classes in conjunction with a business major in college. I only took 2 writing classes in college and it got me this far. Let's see what I can do with a few more.

            I have a tentative deal to write an article for a certain magazine. I chose a very difficult subject and it's coming along slowly, but I should have the article done within reasonable time.

              Good job, man. Nice. Where in Florida? I'm in Orlando and I can tell you that UCF, the school I go to, is growing hardcore. It's the 7th largest college in the country now and a medical school, law school, and on campus stadium are all being built. You should look into the program here.

                That sounds good. I'm going to move to West Palm Beach.

                  I think UCF has a regional campus out there. I have friends from that area. There's still some activity going on here in Florida with Buddy McGirt and all that. Tarver, Berto, etc. Not as good as NY but there's people to interview all the same.

                    Not far from the Hard Rock in Hollywood where Edison often fights!

                      Oh for real? I gotta check that out then. I know that they've been having alot of exciting fights over there recently. That Miranda fights there is definitely a plus.
