Another Round with Mia St. John

I first met Mia St. John in June of 2009 in New York. This last weekend, when I met her again at the Motor City Comic Con, I was ready for her!
St. John is a multi-faceted star. She also gives back to the world through her foundation, El Saber Es Poder (Knowledge is Power). The goal of the foundation is to empower Latinos by supplying schools with better supplies, equipment and developing programs to help further education. St. John is takes her position as a role model seriously. She talked about how she uses her celebrity status to be an inspiration to Latinos everywhere.
I respect the work she is doing through her foundation, but I didn't let that soften me. I was looking for a rematch from last summer. I have several inches in height and reach on her, as well as about 60 pounds. Oh who am I kidding?! She'd pound me. Still, at least the promo shot looked like I could give her a battle.

Mia St. John Wanted to KO Johngy

At the age of 29, Mia St. John became a professional boxer. After 9 years in the ring, St. John won the IFBA Lightweight title. A couple months later, she won the OBA Continental Lightweight title. Through April of '09, she had a record of 45-10-2.
St. John has ventured into martial arts, broadcasting, charitable work and other endeavors. She is also enjoying the celebrity convention circuit.
I wouldn't want to meet her in the ring, but at the conventions she is friendly, sometimes almost shy about her celebrity status. She went along with my photog Chuck's joke about punching me. She was a lot of fun! I am a sucker for a championship belt (and hers actually matched my shirt).
