Originally slated to face Magali Rodriquez (7-4-1, 4 KOs) from Monterrey, Mexico, 3-time women's boxing
world champion Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton (11-3-1, 1 KO), will now
face Abigail “Pinguita” Ramos (3-3-0, 2 KOs) in a 10-round bout in
Kanasin, Yucatan, Mexico this Friday, August 3rd.
The switch was made due to what Julaton's promoter, Orion Sports
President, Allan Tremblay said was a case of Rodriguez going M.I.A. “She
simply disappeared on us”, said Tremblay. “ She left us hanging a week
and half before the fight. Fortunately, we were able to secure Abigail
Ramos who was in training for another fight and jumped at the chance to
fight Ana. These things happen in boxing and you just have to deal with
them," he added.
Despite Ramos' unimpressive record, she is not lacking in motivation
as she gets a chance to score a major upset in front of her hometown
crowd. “ She is not lacking in confidence” stated Tremblay “ she is
coming to win and anything can happen in this sport, just ask Amir
Kahn”.
Nicknamed “The Yucatan Princess” for her inspiring performances in
the ring and work to spread goodwill in her previous fights, Julaton has
no plans to take her new opponent lightly. “This is still a major
fight for me,” Julaton said, and added, “Ramos has nothing to lose and
will bring it all on the night of August 3 and I have to be prepared
accordingly”.
Julaton, who yearns to fight in the Philippines, continued on saying
“A loss would derail my long standing dream of fighting in the
Philippines in front of my own people and I simply cannot let that
happen. Making adjustments for a last minute change of opponent is a
challenge in itself but I will be ready.”
