    Now I get it. Fischer works for Ring Magazine and Williams (surprise surprise) is GBP fighter.

    Rd 7 Barth's best in a while, dominated him physically. Uppercut worked perfectly, numerous times. Countless times. Reminds me a ton of Caballero

    5-2 Barth

    6-1 Barth Williams upped it there but Barth matched him and the quality was with the uppercuts

    Another rd in bag for the Cuban. Dominant display. Uppercut was the signature.

    Kids going to be tough to deal with. Has a good work-rate, strongish, punches weird, varies it up long and short, changes stance at least reasonably effectively, very rangey. Yep, tough prospect.

    6-2 Barthelemy.

    7-1 Barth Good performance but Williams was never in it. Barth will get caught out if he moves up especially when he switches very square on for me. Very unorthodox but not a fighter who will be hard to figure out.

    Edit: Like TFFP said bar one round he showed very good stamina even when he had the fight in the bag

    amazing this really. cant believe a guy this hokey can outbox and out slick a guy who is built for that style of fight.


    barthelemy must get it. 6-2...and i think thats a bit generous

    BTW yeah I don't think Barth is a world beater, slaps a bit and does look open to a good puncher. But he'll be a decent challenger.

    Good way to kick off the night those uppercuts were very good from both in there. Is there another Barthelmy that isn't so great who is Cuban I thought thats who i was watching but it couldn't of been as he was very good tonight

    I remember when he turned over he was on ESPN a lot but as you said he got very lazy and coasted a lot from what I remember. Think he got beat once or twice by a few fighters he really should of won without a second thought.

    Good tribute to Angelo
