What a knockout year for Philippine boxing! Manny Pacquiao, Nonito Donaire, and now Ana Julaton!

Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton made history Sept. 12 after becoming the first female Filipino-American boxer to capture the IBA Super Bantamweight World Title, pulling off a stunning upset over the multi-time champion Kelsey "The Road Warrior" Jeffries at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

Julaton (5-1-1), who entered the first as the 8-1 underdog, punched her way to a narrow 10-round split decision victory, winning the vacant world title belt over the heavily-favored Jeffries (41-10-1) in what some might consider a candidate for "Fight of the Year" and "Upset of the Year" in women's boxing.
