Ana Julaton vs Franchesca Alcanter - WBO Super-Bantamweight Live Stream

Filipino-American boxing champion Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton will stake Philippine pride when she defends her World Boxing Organization (WBO) female super-bantamweight belt on Friday (Saturday in Manila) against dangerous Franchesca Alcanter of the U.S. The 10-round title bout will be held at the Craneway Pavilion Point Richmond in California. It will be the 30-year-old Julaton’s first title defense after winning the vacant WBO 122-lb title last year with a hard-earned split decision win over tough Mexican Maria Elena Villalobos. Julaton and Alcanter both made the 122-lb bantamweight limit in the official weigh-in at the Mink Lounge in San Francisco. Julaton tipped the scales at 116.5, while Alcanter, who previously campaigned as a featherweight, came in at 118. Julaton, whose parents are from Pozzorubio, Pangasinan, is one of the four reigning Filipino world boxing champion, together with pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao (WBO welterweight), Nonito Donaire Jr. (WBO and World Boxing Council bantamweight) and Donnie Nietes (WBO minimumweight).
