Jonathan Barros Stops Irving Berry, Wins The WBA Title

By Jhonny Gonzalez

At the Polideportivo Vicente Polimeni, in Las Heras, Argentina, Jonathan Victor Barros  (31-1-1, 18 KOs) stopped Irving Berry (18-2-2, 9 KOs) in the seventh round to win the vacant WBA featherweight title. After three rounds of back and forth punching, Barros took over the fight in the fourth and broke Berry down until a combination of hard punches caught Berry flush in the seventh - and the ref jumped in to stop the contest.

The WBA continues with their ridiculous rulings that leaves multiple champions in the same division. Barros is the "regular" champion at featherweight, Yuriorkis Gamboa is the "super champion at featherweight, and Chris John is the "super champion in recess" at featherweight.
