Julaton Decisions De La Torre

Undefeated Women’s super bantamweight prospect Ana Julaton (3-0) defeated Clara De La Torre (1-4, 1 KOs) by a 4-round unanimous decision last night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Julaton, at 5′5″, was five inches shorter than De La Torre, but never let that bother her as she stayed in close for most of the fight hitting De La Torre with short combinations to the head.

In the first round, Julaton initially had problems as De La Torre, who towered over her in height, landed well from the outside with her long arms. However, the punches had nothing on them and were additionally incredibly slow as well. After realizing that there was nothing to fear from De La Torre, Julaton moved inside and stayed there, hitting De La Torre with an occasional big right hand to the head. Though Julaton’s shots didn’t have much power either, but they had enough for her to take the round despite the fact that she was getting outworked by De La Torre.

In the fourth round, De La Torre, upon receiving instructions from her corner, discontinued with her weak jabs and went all out trying for a knockout. It didn’t help her much for her slow punches weren’t much more powerful than her jabs and had little if any effect on Julaton, who kept nailing her with right hands.

The final judges’ scores were 40-36, 39-37 and 40-36, all for Julaton.
