Julaton's a paper champ w/no credible wins & the only good fighter she faced was the Argentinian, she lost to earlier this year...I think she won 2 rounds...she couldn't compete v Torres, Nava, or even Juarez...

I really wanted to see the U.S. fighters like Marlen Esparza or Clarissa Shields fight so I kept up with most of the women's boxing schedule. I enjoyed the women's boxing.
