BELOW IS ANA JULATON'S OFFICIAL STATEMENT WHICH WAS READ DURING THE POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE AT CASINO RAMA SATURDAY NIGHT:
I'd like to thank Allan Tremblay and Orion Sports for believing in me, Gma Pinoy TV and GMA Network, All my fans and supporters across the World. I did my best and would not give up no matter what because that is how I was brought up by my parents and as a Bok Fu Black belt of West Wind Schools we are taught to never back down.
I'm sorry that I lost, but I'm happy that womens boxing is getting the exposure it deserves. I fought tonight with a legend of this sport and it was her night. She has been a professional for a decade and I'm happy we put on a show deserving of our sport.
As a Filipino American I believe in making change to help the world become a better place. As a Filipina Woman I know one of my greatest assets is toughness, resilience and a true Pinay never gives up on our goals. I promise I will be back better than ever!!
