Daly City’s Julaton defends belt against Alcanter (w/ video)

Neither a questionable scale nor the absence of her world renowned trainer could deter WBO super bantamweight champion Ana Julaton from enjoying her Bay Area homecoming party, as the Daly City native earned a unanimous decision over Franchesca Alcanter on Friday night.

A boisterous crowd packed Richmond’s Craneway Pavilion to capacity as “The Hurricane,” normally a speedster by trade, surprisingly pressured the bigger Alcanter into the ropes and unleashed combinations that scored frequently.

With four-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach stuck in Hollywood due to scheduling conflicts and a scale that peculiarly determined that Julaton weighed 116.5 pounds—a staggering 5.5 under the 122-pound limit—“The Hurricane” was forced to adapt to the situation.
