(MAR 11) RAMA, ON - (Wednesday, March
10, 2010) She’s smart. She’s beautiful. Oh yeah, and she can fight
like mad. In boxing terms, that makes Ana “The Hurricane”
Julaton the total package. And with media giants like ESPN
beginning to take notice, the only thing standing in the way of the
San Francisco beauty and worldwide fame is Toronto’s Lisa “Bad News”
Brown.
At Rumble at Rama XI, on March 27th, at Casino Rama, in Rama,
Ontario, Julaton (6-1-1, 1 KO) and Brown (16-4-3, 5 KO’s) square off
for the vacant WBA Super Bantamweight world title in the most
important women’s fight of the year, and one of the most important
the sport has ever seen.
“Anytime you have a potential crossover superstar like Ana, she has
to deliver both inside and outside the ring,” Allan Tremblay,
President of Orion Sports Management, said. “This is her chance to
show the world that she’s more than just a very pretty face. If she
beats a warrior like Lisa Brown, she’ll prove to be as talented as
she is beautiful, which would be a boon to not only herself, but to
woman’s boxing in general.”
The 29 year-old Julaton has already proven her fighting mettle in
her brief, yet accomplished, career, with her most notable win
coming last September in San Jose, California, where she topped
veteran Kelsey Jeffries to claim the vacant IBA female Junior
Bantamweight title.
Julaton added to her belt collection just 11 weeks later by
outclassing Donna Biggers over 10 rounds to capture the WBO 122 lb
world crown.
Brown, however, is determined to make sure the WBA belt doesn’t
leave Canada in Julaton’s Louis Vuittons.
What the 39 year-old Toronto resident gives away in age, she more
than makes up for in big-fight experience, having tasted victory,
and suffered bitter defeats around the world, and against some of
the best fighters in the business, racking up three world titles
along the way.
“This is the type of fight where you could flip a coin to see who’s
going to come out on top. It’s that close,” Tremblay said. “And
that’s a testament to these two warriors. They’re not ducking
anybody. This is the best fight out there, and each decided to step
up to the plate.”
In the evening’s main event, “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (31-1,
12 KO’s) tries to become a two-time world champion, when he faces
South African Takalani “The Panther” Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KO’s) in a
world title tilt for the belt Molitor once held, the now vacant IBF
Junior Featherweight championship of the world.
Also on the show, in a ten round special attraction, Canadian
Heavyweight champion, Greg “The Steel Pole” Kielsa (11-0, 5 KO’s),
of Brampton, Ontario, defends his title against Toronto’s Neven
Pajkic (11-0, 5 KO’s).
“Orion Sports Management is thrilled to be able to put on a card
like this. We’ve got two world title fights, and a rare showdown
between undefeated Canadian Heavyweights fighting for the national
title,” Tremblay said proudly.
"In addition, we are staging three scintillating undercard fights,
featuring Felix Mercedes, Justin Fountain, Jason Douglas, and
Stephan Boyd in top-to-bottom the best fight card we have ever put
on at Casino Rama."
Rumble at Rama XI will be promoted by Orion Sports Management, in
association with Casino Rama.
