From her first arrival, to the media workout, all the way to her final goodbyes, 3-time Women's Boxing World Champion, and reigning WBO super bantamweight World Champ Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton displayed her class and grace, winning over the hearts of the Yucatan boxing faithful.

Julaton was in Mexico last week and successfully defended her crown against the young a feisty Jessica Villafranca at the Polifuncional, Kanasin in Yucatán. 

Flashing her signature smile and displaying her infectious character, Julaton, together with promoter Allan Tremblay and manager/ co-trainer Angelo Reyes did the rounds throughout Yucatan and became an instant hit. And after a dominating performance in the ring last Saturday, the local boxing fans couldn't help but ask to see the Philippines' Female Fighting Pride again, discovering that there is a lot more to Philippine boxing than Manny Pacquiao.

Julaton arrived safely in Las Vegas Saturday. Stay tuned for my exclusive interview with Julaton to be posted shortly.
