(MAY 7) Last Friday in
Kanasin, Mexico Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton showed why she is
one of the most dominating female fighters in the world today.
Not only did she plead to fight a Power Punching Mexican Fighter
in Yolanda "La Negra" Segura (8Wins 7KO's 3L) who came in 4
lbs., over the contract limit during weigh ins at 130lbs
(Contract weight was 126 lbs.) which is a higher weight class
for Julaton who normally fights at 122lbs, but she dominated
Segura by using angles, footwork and her Signature Jab.
Segura who was visibly the bigger
fighter could not establish her power punching rhythm during the
fight as Julaton put on a pure display of boxing excellence in
the ring tonight. "Ana boxed beautifully tonight, this is the
style that suits her best and I was so very proud of her
performance tonight!! She pitched a "NO HITTER" and I am
confident Ana will win her fourth World Title this year" said
Allan Tremblay of Orion Sports management who has guided
Julaton's career.
"I am happy to have the full support of Orion Sports Management
and I am very happy that Allan continues to trust me with these
opportunities" Julaton said about her Promoter. Ana Julaton who
is now 11Wins 3Losses 1 Draw was cheered on by the hometown
crowd of Yucatan as this was her second fight in their homeland
and she is showing why "The Hurricane" is a fan favorite World
Wide. Some locals yelled "Ms Pac Man Please Knock her out" and
other cheers were directed towards the Female fighting pride of
the Philippines. Many yucatan people have been calling Julaton "Huracan
de Yucatan" as she had been given a Jersey by the Yucatan Leones
Baseball team President with the an inscription written on the
back "Huracan de Yucatan" the night before the fight as Ana
threw the first pitch of the game.
Canal Trece's Juan Carlos Guitierez interviewed Ana after the
fight in which Julaton thanked all the support from the people
all over the world and thanked the GMA Network, Orion Sports
Management and Yucatan Boxing. The question was asked what is
next for her and Julaton's response was empathic "I would like
to fight Jackie Nava next and since she doesn't like to leave
her hometown to fight I have no problem fighting Nava right here
in Mexico!"
Allan Tremblay who was
interviewed by the GMA Network who was there covering the fight
said "I would like Ana to fight Jackie Nava in her home province
of Pangasinan as I believe it would be one of the great events
this year. I have been attempting to contact Governor Amado
Espino Jr. through his staff and I hope to hear a response from
him soon before I make my decision for Ana's next fight. There
are many locations interested in that fight but I would love for
us to give Julaton's next World Title fight to the good people
of the Philippines. It's time for her to have a Homecoming
Event."
Pangasinan Governor Amado T. Espino Jr. hosted Ana Julaton's
Homecoming Celebration in 2010 after Julaton won the WBO 122lbs
Championship defeating current WBC Silver Belt Champion Mexico's
Maria elena Villalobos. A fight in the Philippines would be a
mega attraction with Julaton challenging for her 4th World
Championship. Rumor's are that Jackie Nava will be fighting on
July 14th in Texas on the undercard of Juan Manuel Marquez. A
Julaton vs Nava fight would be one of the biggest events in
Mexico and the Philippines but could be a great addition to that
fight card in Texas.
Orion Sports Management will announce Julaton's next fight venue
within the next few weeks. Philippines, Mexico, Argentina or
Texas where ever it may be the Hurricane is back into her
"Pugilist Specialist" ways. Stay Tuned!
