    1. Do you read the news articles posted on BoxingScene.com? Why or why not? If you do read them, do you read them on the main page or in the Opinion Central section of the forums?

    No, not very often. I usually only visit the main page once a day, sometimes once every couple days. Honestly, I get most of my breaking news stuff from a couple other sources.

    2. Do you read, or have you read the Fighting Words column? Why or why not? If you do read Fighting Words, for how long have you been reading it, and how often do you read it?

    No, sorry. Now I feel sort of ****ty I guess for not reading them. I'll make an effort to read your columns and offer some feedback.

    3. What other columns and writers do you read regularly, both on BoxingScene.com and on other sites? What about these columns and writers draws you in?

    Not sure if I can name them here. If not, MODs, PM me and I'll make the appropriate changes. Please don't edit for me.
    I like Lisa Scott at FN. She has always been very nice to Mike Tyson. Pedro Fernandez at RT, I like his "no bs" approach, the man is really for the good of boxing. Greg Leon (sometimes) at BT. On BT, I like the mailbags and some of Leon's interviews.

    I love to hear Max Kellerman talk boxing. Others hate him, but he's one of the most positive personalities in boxing. How often does Max have something bad to say about someone, unless it is absolutely warranted? Very rarely. He has taken lots of criticism that would have crushed the spirit of many others. Max Kellerman is a real class act.


    4. If you read Fighting Words, what do you feel are the author's strengths and weaknesses?

    Let me get back to you on that.


    And hey, if you need inspiration for stories, feel free to PM me, or email me at: masterdirector@gmail.com
    I'll give you all kinds of directions that you could go in. If you're feeling stagnate, talk to a young lion like myself. I just graduated college in May, wrote my final paper on boxing. Made a student film on it. I'm developing, slowly, a few scripts as well.

    There's nothing wrong with your creativity if you had any to begin with, which if Rick allows you to post articles on here, I know you have it. You're just in a proverbial rut. I can help you get out of it.

      I'm quite humbled and fortunate to have the opportunity to do this, and quite glad that there are people who look forward to my writing.

      Thanks for your kind words.
      no disrespect intended..your hard work shows. Keep up the good work.

        I didn't think I was the best writer before at all, but I know I'm not now that Ron Borges is writing for BoxingScene.com. How cool is that?

          I intensly dislike the work of Mr. Borges, he is a cynical naysayer who writes to put people down. He doesn't seem like a nice person either, but I'm somehwat biased becasue he writes bad stuff about Tyson, who is my all time favorite fighter.

          Don't sell yourself short Mr. Griesman you are a fine writer and the best on this website.
