Ana Julaton Fighting in Rings, Cages and For Recogntion For Fighting Females

Published

on

Ana Julaton is one of those grinders who toe the line between persistence and pest. This is not a knock; in some fields, you have to do that dance if you want to get ahead, have to have some sharpened elbows, and willingness to maybe be one email over the line, and make that occasional phone call to a potential difference-maker who has already ignored two of your email requests to touch base.

Nope, it’s not a knock at all, because I know what she knows, that she’s talented, and ambitious and owns other traits which should be part of an overall package which doesn’t much exist in the US, that being the boxing scene for females.

And I dare say it should. Her skills, her technique stand up to that of the men, and then some. And why shouldn’t some broadcast entity take a leap, fashion a little niche for themselves, corner the market on women’s boxing? It’s not like the cost would be prohibitive, as athletes like Julaton are used to subsisting on so-so paydays while they do their climb up the ranks, and even when they win title belts.

I checked in with the fighter, who took part in a mixed martial arts fight on Aug. 29, for the ONE FC organization, which has been running since 2011, out of Singapore.The 34-year-old fighter, who lives in California, owns a 13-4-1 boxing record, and dropped to 1-1 in MMA when she lost to Ann Osman in Brazil. The record book says she lost, anyway. Julaton’s account differs somewhat.”It was a split decision loss, but I felt like I did more damage overall and did enough to win the fight and get the decision,” she told me. “I’m ready to go back in MMA ASAP!” She sent along highlights from her scrap.

“I am really still trying to understand the judging criteria in MMA,” she continued. “When the rules for ONE FC were explained to me before the fight, Near KO/Submission was the #1, damage is #2 and striking combinations and generalship is #3 for criteria in judging the winner. Ground control is #4, takedowns #5, takedown defense is #6 and aggression is #7 all in descending order of importance. Based on the criteria shouldn’t I have gotten the nod in victory? There was no damage done to me at all… so does a failed submission attempt count more points than just plain hurting my opponent through striking?”

The persistent hitter ain’t done lobbying. “Even on the ground when I was on my back you’ll notice I did a lot of Floyd Mayweather style deflections which is why Osman never lands anything clean.. so just because someone is on top of you does that mean they are winning even though nothing is landing? On the reverse side when I was on top, my strikes would connect and those knees I gave her caused a lot of damage. One judge and almost everyone in the arena (in Dubai) that night felt I won,” she declared.

“I am happy that the crowd and all the people watching were excited and entertained. Win, lose or draw you will never see me in a boring fight. I always leave my heart in battle and in both my first two MMA fights I was caught in a guillotine choke and survived to win via KO and last Friday I was caught in an armbar and again I almost had a third round KO. People can always expect me to never give up in the cage and know that I always have the KO power to win in MMA. I’m still learning and young in this sport and with a stage that gives us fighters a billion viewers I will definitely be back. ”

So, what brought her to the MMA cage, anyway?

“Hands down, I love fighting. I’ve spent over ten years in the sweet science and have won world titles, fought all over the world, and I enjoy performing classic fights. I’ve watched ONE FC develop over the past couple of years and it had me reminisce about my martial arts background. The CEO of ONE FC, Victor Cui, offered me an exclusive MMA deal while I am able to continue my boxing career. Victor cares about his fighters and knew how much boxing means to me and was generous enough to give me such opportunity. I couldn’t miss this opportunity, what fighter would?”

And how long have you been training for it?

“I’ve started my MMA training earlier this year and it has been consistent,” she said. “Practicing the different aspects of MMA has been demanding yet at the same time, fun. I think it’s important for a fighter to know her/his weak points and apply what is effective in a match. I remember winning the WBO world title in Canada when Freddie Roach trained me and instructed me to only use the jab in the first nine rounds.”

I take it you will still box?

“Of course, there are some goals I’d like to achieve in boxing before I hang it up,” she continued. “That is also the reason why Victor Cui offered me an exclusive MMA contract with ONE FC while continuing with boxing. Also, I’ve been in touch with Bob Arum for a possible fight in the near future. I’m hoping for the best but I’m taking my MMA and boxing schedule one day at a time.

Can you tell me a bit more about fighting for ONE FC?

“ONE FC is a world class organization and is the biggest MMA company in the continent of Asia, reaching to a billion viewership with a 90% market share,” she said, with a PR flak’s expertise. “ONE FC follows the global rule set which is considered to bring MMA closest to real fighting, providing the most exciting fights for fans. Also, ONE FC cares about its fighters. Today, after the fighters’ meeting Cui stopped in, spoke to all the fights, thanking us for doing a great job with promoting fights and providing exciting fights. He even shared a personal story of one of the fighters, and for a CEO of a company to know his own employees like that says a lot about the company. And he gave me that two-sport contract allowance because he knew how important that was to me.”

Tell me, please, about the differences in fighting in MMA vs boxing, the combat AND the outside the ring stuff.

“I’d say physical damage: in ONE FC, if a fighter receives a devastating strike, like a knee to the face, etc., the referee will stop the fight right away, there are no eight counts to recover,” Julaton said. “Whereas in boxing, a downed fighter, if still conscious, will get an eight count to recover to continue. A perfect example is Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo 1. Corrales gets dropped in the second half of the fight and recovers to knock out Castillo in the next round. Boxers fight through pain and damage as they take punches to the head and body throughout the fight. And the pace between the two sports are different. In championship fights, MMA is scheduled for five 5 minute rounds, with one minute breaks between rounds; boxing schedules 12 three minute rounds, with 1 minute breaks in between. They are two completely different sports. As for the business side…. MMA runs as a league and typically, a roster of fighters in a weight division will be signed and eventually gets scheduled to fight each other. It’s the competitive fights that are being sold to the public and branded for the company. Boxing on the other hand, has a different format. Boxing promoters sign stars, fighters that appeal to the masses. The popularity of the fighter is what drives the success of the promotional company. So far, I love how ONE FC recognizes my accomplishments in boxing and I have the ability to expose myself. And vice versa, the activity in MMA will continue building my brand in boxing.”

She then put back on her boxing hat, and informed me that, “Did you know that in female boxing WBO 122 pound champion Marcela Acuna just had a great fight with Soledad Matthysse (Lucas’ sister) a couple weekends ago in Argentina? Do you know that WBA 122 pound champ Jackie Nava is about to fight WBC 122 pound champ Alicia Ashley in a unification this weekend in Mexico? These are four of the very best boxers we have in the world and yet you don’t get to see it in Showtime or HBO and I didn’t see a lot of boxing writers talking about it…. I’m just saying.”

And I’m just listening’….Point taken. I didn’t know, and it could be argued I should. I send props to the persistent Julaton for banging this drum, and shining her spotlight on other performers. That’s a selfless act, one of a leader, and she is that in this realm. Here’s hoping some bigwig listens and rewards her and the ladies who work so hard, on small stages, for minute purses.

Mizuki Hiruta Dominates in her U.S. Debut and Omar Trinidad Wins Too at Commerce

Published

Mizuki-Hiruta-Dominates-in-her-U.S.-Debut-and-Trinidad-Wins-Too-at-Commerce

Japan’s Mizuki Hiruta smashed through Mexico’s Maribel Ramirez with ease in winning by technical decision and local hero Omar Trinidad continued his assault on the featherweight division on Friday.

Hiruta (7-0, 2 KOs), who prefers to be called “Mimi,” made her American debut with an impressive performance against Mexican veteran Maribel Ramirez (15-11-4) and retained the WBO super flyweight world title by unanimous decision at Commerce Casino in Commerce, Calif.

The pink-haired Japanese southpaw champion quickly proved to be quicker, stronger and even better than advertised. In the opening round Ramirez landed on the floor twice after throwing errant blows. On one instance, it could have been ruled a knockdown but it was not a convincing blow.

In the second round, Ramirez again attacked and again was met with a Hiruta check right hook and down went the Mexican. This time referee Ray Corona gave the eight-count and the fight resumed.

It was Hiruta’s third title defense but this time it was on American soil. She seemed nervous by the prospect of getting a favorable review from the more than 700 fans inside the casino tent.

For more than a year Hiruta has been training off and on with Manny Robles in the L.A. area. Now that she has a visa, she has spent considerable time this year learning the tricks of the trade. They proved explosively effective.

Though Mexico City’s Ramirez has considerable experience against world champions, she discovered that Hiruta was not easy to hit. Often, the Japanese champion would slip and counter with precision.

It was an impressive American debut, though the fight was stopped in the eighth round after a collision of heads. The scores were tallied and all three saw Hiruta the winner by scores of 80-71 twice and 79-72.

“I’m so happy. I could have done much more,” said Hiruta through interpreter Yuriko Miyata. “I wanted to do more things that Manny Robles taught me.”

Trinidad Wins Too

Omar Trinidad (18-0-1, 13 KOs) discovered that challenger Mike Plania (31-5, 18 KOs) has a very good chin and staying power. But over 10 rounds Trinidad proved to be too fast and too busy for the Filipino challenger.

Immediately it was evident that the East L.A. featherweight was too quick and too busy for Plania who preferred a counter-puncher attack that never worked.

“He was strong,” said Trinidad. “He took everything.”

After 10 redundant rounds all three judges scored for Trinidad 100-90 twice and 99-91. He retains the WBC Continental Americas title.

Other Bouts

Ali Akhmedov (23-1, 17 KOs) blasted out Malcolm Jones (17-5-1) in less than two rounds. A dozen punches by Akhmedov forced referee Thomas Taylor to stop the super middleweight fight.

Iyana “Roxy” Verduzco (3-0) bloodied Lindsey Ellis in the first round and continued the speedy assault in the next two rounds. Referee Ray Corona saw enough and stopped the fight in favor of Verduzco at 1:34 of the third round.

Gloria Munguilla (7-1) and Brook Sibrian (5-2) lit up the boxing ring with a nonstop clash for eight rounds in their light flyweight fight. Munguilla proved effective with a slip-and-counter attack. Sibrian adjusted and made the fight closer in the last four rounds but all three judges favored Munguilla.

More Winners

Joshua Anton, Tayden Beltran, Adan Palma, and Alexander Gueche all won their bouts.

Avila Perspective, Chap. 309: 360 Promotions Opens with Trinidad, Mizuki and More

Avila Perspective, Chap. 309: 360 Promotions Opens with Trinidad, Mizuki and More

Best wishes to the survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires that took place last week and are still ongoing in small locales.

Most of the heavy damage took place in the western part of L.A. near the ocean due to Santa Ana winds. Another very hot spot was in Altadena just north of the Rose Bowl. It was a horrific tragedy.

Hopefully the worst is over.

Pro boxing returns with 360 Boxing Promotions spotlighting East L.A.’s Omar Trinidad (17-0-1, 13 KOs) defending a regional featherweight title against Mike Plania (31-4, 18 KOs) on Friday, Jan. 17, at the Commerce Casino in Commerce, Calif.

“I’m the king of L.A. boxing and I’ll be ready to put on a show headlining again in the main event. This is my year, I’m ready to challenge and defeat any of the featherweight world champions,” said Trinidad.

UFC Fight Pass will stream the Hollywood Night fight card that includes a female world championship fight and other intriguing match-ups.

Tom Loeffler heads 360 Promotions and once again comes full force with a hot prospect in Trinidad. If you’re not familiar with Loeffler’s history of success, he introduced America to Oleksandr Usyk, Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and the brothers Wladimir and Vitaly Kltischko.

“We’ve got a wealth of international talent and local favorites to kick off our 2025 in grand style,” said Loeffler.

He knows talent.

Trinidad hails from the Boyle Heights area of East L.A. near the Los Angeles riverbed. Several fighters from the past came from that exact area including the first Golden Boy, Art Aragon.

Aragon was a huge gate attraction during the late 1940s until 1960. He was known as a lady’s man and dated several Hollywood starlets in his time. Though he never won a world title he did fight world champions Carmen Basilio, Jimmy Carter and Lauro Salas. He was more or less the king of the Olympic Auditorium and Los Angeles boxing during his career.

Other famous boxers from the Boyle Heights area were notorious gangster Mickey Cohen and former world champion Joey Olivo.

Can Trinidad reach world title status?

Facing Trinidad will be Filipino fighter Plania who’s knocked off a couple of prospects during his career including Joshua “Don’t Blink” Greer and Giovanni Gutierrez. The fighter from General Santos in the Philippines can crack and hold his own in the boxing ring.

It’s a very strong fight card and includes WBO world titlist Mizuki Hiruta of Japan who defends the super flyweight title against Mexican veteran Maribel Ramirez. It’s a tough matchup for Hiruta who makes her American debut. You can’t miss her with that pink hair and she has all the physical tools to make a splash in this country.

Mizukii Hiruta

Two other female bouts are also planned, including light flyweight banger L.A.’s Gloria Munguilla (6-1) against Coachella’s Brook Sibrian (5-1) in a match set for six rounds. Both are talented fighters. Another female fight includes super featherweights Iyana “Right Hook Roxy” Verduzco (2-0) versus Lindsey Ellis (2-1) in another six-rounder. Ellis can crack with all her wins coming via knockout. Verduzco is a multi-national titlist as an amateur.

Others scheduled to perform are Ali Akhmedov, Joshua Anton, Adan Palma and more.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

Boxing and the Media

The sport of professional boxing is currently in flux. It’s always in flux but no matter what people may say or write, boxing will survive.

Whether you like Jake Paul or not, he proved boxing has worldwide appeal with monstrous success in his last show. He has media companies looking at the numbers and imagining what they can do with the sport.

Sure, UFC is negotiating a massive billion dollar deal with media companies, as is WWE, both are very similar in that they provide combat entertainment. You don’t need to know the champions because they really don’t matter. Its about the attractions.

Boxing is different. The good champions last and build a following that endures even beyond their careers a la Mike Tyson.

MMA can’t provide that longevity, but it does provide entertainment.

Currently, there is talk of establishing a boxing league again. It’s been done over and over but we shall see if it sticks this time.

Pro boxing is the true warrior’s path and that means a solo adventure. It’s a one-on-one sport and that appeals to people everywhere. It’s the oldest sport that can be traced to prehistoric times. You don’t need classes in Brazilian Jiujitsu, judo, kick boxing or wrestling. Just show up in a boxing gym and they can put you to work.

It’s a poor person’s path that can lead to better things and most importantly discipline.

Boxing Trainer Bob Santos Paid his Dues and is Reaping the Rewards

Published

on

Boxing-Trainer-Bob-Santos-Paid-his-Dues-and-is-Reaping the Rewards

Bob Santos, the 2022 Sports Illustrated and The Ring magazine Trainer of the Year, is a busy fellow. On Feb. 1, fighters under his tutelage will open and close the show on the four-bout main portion of the Prime Video PPV event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Jeison Rosario continues his comeback in the lid-lifter, opposing Jesus Ramos. In the finale, former Cuban amateur standout David Morrell will attempt to saddle David Benavidez with his first defeat. Both combatants in the main event have been chasing 168-pound kingpin Canelo Alvarez, but this bout will be contested for a piece of the light heavyweight title.

When the show is over, Santos will barely have time to exhale. Before the month is over, one will likely find him working the corner of Dainier Pero, Brian Mendoza, Elijah Garcia, and perhaps others.

Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) turned 28 last month. He is in the prime of his career. However, a lot of folk rate Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) a very live dog. At last look, Benavidez was a consensus 7/4 (minus-175) favorite, a price that betokens a very competitive fight.

Bob Santos, needless to say, is confident that his guy can upset the odds. “I have worked with both,” he says. “It’s a tough fight for David Morrell, but he has more ways to victory because he’s less one-dimensional. He can go forward or fight going back and his foot speed is superior.”

Benavidez’s big edge, in the eyes of many, is his greater experience. He captured the vacant WBC 168-pound title at age 20, becoming the youngest super middleweight champion in history. As a pro, Benavidez has answered the bell for 148 rounds compared with only 54 for Morrell, but Bob Santos thinks this angle is largely irrelevant.

“Sure, I’d rather have pro experience than amateur experience,” he says, “but if you look at Benavidez’s record, he fought a lot of soft opponents when he was climbing the ladder.”

True. Benavidez, who turned pro at age 16, had his first seven fights in Mexico against a motley assortment of opponents. His first bout on U.S. soil occurred in his native Pheonix against an opponent with a 1-6-2 record.

While it’s certainly true that Morrell, 26, has yet to fight an opponent the caliber of Caleb Plant, he took up boxing at roughly the same tender age as Benavidez and earned his spurs in the vaunted Cuban amateur system, eventually defeating elite amateurs in international tournaments.

“If you look at his [pro] record, you will notice that [Morrell] has hardly lost a round,” says Santos of the fighter who captured an interim title in only his third professional bout with a 12-round decision over Guyanese veteran Lennox Allen.

Bob Santos is something of a late bloomer. He was around boxing for a long time, assisting such notables as Joe Goossen, Emanuel Steward, and Ronnie Shields before becoming recognized as one of the sport’s top trainers.

A native of San Jose, he grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood but not in a household where Spanish was spoken. “I know enough now to get by,” he says modestly. He attended James Lick High School whose most famous alumnus is Heisman winning and Super Bowl winning quarterback Jim Plunkett. “We worked in the same apricot orchard when we were kids,” says Santos. “Not at the same time, but in the same field.”

After graduation, he followed his father’s footsteps into construction work, but boxing was always beckoning. A cousin, the late Luis Molina, represented the U.S. as a lightweight in the 1956 Melbourne Summer Olympics, and was good enough as a pro to appear in a main event at Madison Square Garden where he lost a narrow decision to the notorious Puerto Rican hothead Frankie Narvaez, a future world title challenger.

Santos’ cousin was a big draw in San Jose in an era when the San Jose / Sacramento territory was the bailiwick of Don Chargin. “Don was a beautiful man and his wife Lorraine was even nicer,” says Santos of the husband/wife promotion team who are enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Don Chargin was inducted in 2001 and Lorraine posthumously in 2018.

Chargin promoted Fresno-based featherweight Hector Lizarraga who captured the IBF title in 1997. Lizarraga turned his career around after a 5-7-3 start when he hooked up with San Jose gym operator Miguel Jara. It was one of the most successful reclamation projects in boxing history and Bob Santos played a part in it.

Bob hopes to accomplish the same turnaround with Jeison Rosario whose career was on the skids when Santos got involved. In his most recent start, Rosario held heavily favored Jarrett Hurd to a draw in a battle between former IBF 154-pound champions on a ProBox card in Florida.

“I consider that one of my greatest achievements,” says Santos, noting that Rosario was stopped four times and effectively out of action for two years before resuming his career and is now on the cusp of earning another title shot.

The boxer with whom Santos is most closely identified is former four-division world title-holder Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. The slick southpaw, the pride of Gilroy, California, the self-proclaimed “Garlic Capital of the World,” retired following a bad loss to Omar Figueroa Jr, but had second thoughts and is currently riding a six-fight winning streak. “I’ve known him since he was 15 years old,” notes Santos.

Years from now, Santos may be more closely identified with the Pero brothers, Dainier and Lenier, who aspire to be the Cuban-American version of the Klitschko brothers.

Santos describes Dainier, one of the youngest members of Cuba’s Olympic Team in Tokyo, as a bigger version of Oleksandr Usyk. That may be stretching it, but Dainier (10-0, 8 KOs as a pro), certainly hits harder.

Dainier Pero

Dainier Pero

This reporter was a fly on the wall as Santos put Dainier Pero through his paces on Tuesday (Jan. 14) at Bones Adams gym in Las Vegas. Santos held tight to a punch shield, in the boxing vernacular a donut, as the Cuban practiced his punches. On several occasions the trainer was knocked off-balance and the expression on his face as his body absorbed some of the after-shocks, plainly said, “My goodness, what the hell am I doing here? There has to be an easier way to make a living.” It was an assignment that Santos would have undoubtedly preferred handing off to his young assistant, his son Joe Santos, but Joe was preoccupied coordinating David Morrell’s camp.

Dainer’s brother Lenier is also an ex-Olympian, and like Dainier was a super heavyweight by trade as an amateur. With an 11-0 (8 KOs) record, Lenier Pero’s pro career was on a parallel path until stalled by a managerial dispute. Lenier last fought in March of last year and Santos says he will soon join his brother in Las Vegas.

There’s little to choose between the Pero brothers, but Dainier is considered to have the bigger upside because at age 25 he is the younger sibling by seven years.

Bob Santos was in the running again this year for The Ring magazine’s Trainer of the Year, one of six nominees for the honor that was bestowed upon his good friend Robert Garcia. Considering the way that Santos’ career is going, it’s a safe bet that he will be showered with many more accolades in the years to come.
