MANILA, Philippines - Shrugging off the blood trickling down her face from a cut over the right eye, former two-time world superbantamweight queen Ana (Hurricane) Julaton pounded out a gutsy majority 10-round decision over Mexico’s Perla Hernandez to fuel hopes for another title shot in Progreso, Yucatan, last Friday night (Saturday morning, Manila).
Julaton, 33, dictated the tempo with a rapier-like left jab and tried to engage Hernandez by repeatedly coming forward but found few opportunities to unload her power shots with the Mexican dancing away and employing dirty tactics to avoid a toe-to-toe exchange. Hernandez resorted to head-butting whenever Julaton came close and in the sixth round, the Fil-Am was cut over the right eye. The wound seemed to fire up Julaton who swept the last four rounds as Hernandez kept a safe distance away, wildly swinging and missing as if shadow-boxing in the gym.
