When "A Ring of Their Own" bring their "Women of Mass
Destruction" to Edmonton to the Shaw Conference Center on June
23, the faces will be familiar.
| Mia St. John is returning to
Edmonton for the third time. Her two previous appearances were
ringside beside the former world champion "Flushing Flash" Kevin
Kelley as color commentator. |
|
But June 23rd, Mia will be in the center of the ring as
she battles Jelena Mrdjenovich for the vacant WIBF lightweight
title. St. John has boxed in some of boxing’s most famous venues
but is excited to return to Canada. "I love Canada and can’t
wait to fight on the show June 23rd!" St John said,
and commented on her opponent, Jelena Mrdjenovich’s 7 fight
winning streak. Is she either intimidated or determined by
Jelena’s streak? "Neither." stated St. John who will try and
claim the WIBF lightweight title as she faces the 23 year old
Canadian in her fifty-second fight. "Neither- I don’t care who
she’s beaten- it doesn’t intimidate me. I get in the ring, I
fight, I go on to the next job. I am hired to do a show – I am
an entertainer and that’s what I do. I don’t fear anybody."
Jelena Mrdenovich is also making her third AROTO appearance
against St. John and describes what she feels the series has
done for her and the sport of women’s boxing. "It’s been great,"
Jelena said with enthusiasm." AROTO has been fantastic to deal
with, all of the team. It’s (the series) great for women’s
boxing and I think they’ve done wonderful things for the sport
with regards to exposure and getting the women out there and
their names heard. I think they can only do good things for the
sport." As for the card on the 23rd, Mrdjenovich is
sure boxing fans will see another excellent show. " KO
Productions and Rock & Sock have teamed up again to put together
more excitement, with Lisa Brown and Jeannine Garside fighting
again- their first fight was good and this one will probably be
even better, and I’m looking forward to the fight with Mia."
Lisa "Bad News" Brown will be fighting for AROTO the fourth time
June 23 in her rematch with Jeannine Garside and echoes
Mrdjenovich’s sentiments about the series. "I think it’s ( AROTO)
having a good impact to the point where they are actually
getting women to fight good fights and showcase their boxing
skills. It’s a good thing Rock & Sock does- having AROTO to give
the women a chance to get the opportunity to do what they do.
And Brown is not shy about saying if she will fight for "AROTO"
again. " ABSOLUTELY. I will fight anyone, anytime, anywhere,"
Brown says with confidence. "Just tell me and I’m there."
"A Ring of Their Own" has given me a lot of opportunities and
they are doing good things with women’s boxing," Jeannine
Garside says of the series that has seen her gain her first
title and improve her record to 5-0. Not to be overlooking Lisa
Brown, which Jeannine promises will be an action packed rematch,
Garside is thinking forward to meeting the challenge of a few
other fighters that are busy in some of her weight divisions,
and thinks the series is the perfect way for her to meet her
future opposition. For more information on the June 23 "Women
of Mass Destruction" card, brought to you by "A Ring of Their
