(JUNE 11) Calm Before the Storm
Promotions would like to announce its upcoming boxing event on July
11, 2009, starting at 7:30 PM, at the San Miguel Arena, formerly
known as the Plaza San Miguel. The fight card for this event will
highlight some of Houston’s best warriors, including the likes of
veteran Welterweight Jose Gutierrez (14-5, with 10 KO’s) and up &
coming Bantamweight Johanna Mendoza (5-0, with 1 KO).
Featured on this card are crowd favorites: Welterweight Tiffany
Junot, hailing from New Orleans (5-2, with 3 KO’s), Welterweight
Lanard Lane, hailing from Philadelphia (6-0, with 5 KO’s), and Super
Middleweight Terrance Woods, hailing from Bay City, Texas (4-0, with
3 KO’s).
Making his professional debut will be 2004 Flyweight Olympian Ron
Siler. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, this incredible athlete will
begin his professional career at 115 pounds. In 1998, Siler first
earned the U.S. National Amateur title at 106 pounds. He continued
to fight at that weight through the 2000 Olympic trials. Then, in
2002, he stepped up a class to compete at 112 pounds. Now, Siler
will test his professional courage in the only state big enough to
handle an Olympic athlete: Texas!
Also scheduled to appear are Vashon Livin (0-1) and Jamal Charlo
(4-0). The official weigh-in and rules meeting will be hosted by
Tilted Kilt Houston, located on Highway 6 South, at noon on July 10,
2009. The fights are scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM the following
night. Tickets for this newly renovated 6,000 seat venue will start

VIP seating, where the VIP seating includes a buffet style meal with
non-alcoholic drinks. Additionally, fight fans may purchase a four
seat ringside table for $200, which also includes a buffet style
meal.
