Ana “The Hurricane” Julaton is set to arrive Sunday to see world famous Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao. Julaton who has been training in the Bay Area for her upcoming fight Oct. 6th is finally en route to L.A.
“I love L.A. Especially the Filipino community. They are always so supportive of me and my career. I'm looking forward to training at Wild Card and seeing some of my friends like Ola, Sammy, Marie, Shane, Tommy, Vanes...(the list just kept going) I can't wait to see Kuya Manny, it's been a while since I've seen him and I'm very excited to finally see Coach Freddie.” says Ana.
You can feel her excitement as she talked about reuniting with her coach. Ana last saw Freddie when she was in L.A. training alongside the ALA boys all the way to Sacramento for the final week of their preparation of Phil vs. Mex.
Julaton will train at Wild Card until Saturday and leave for Vegas on Sunday for her final week of preparation of her pro debut. When asked what she has been doing when not training she responded “I've been watching Pacquiao vs. Morales I, II & III, Pacquiao Barrera, Penalosa vs. De Leon and Penalosa vs. Gonzalez.
“Kuya Gerry is someone I respect very much. He and his wife has always been kind to me and I try to emulate the way he carries himself as a champion of the people.” Ana said to me with a warm smile that she also tries copy Gerry's body punching when she spars sometimes. She said watching these fights inspires her to understand she is fighting for more than herself when she steps in the ring Oct. 6th
