A Cuban amateur national champion, the 28-year-old Barthelemy has yet to taste defeat since turning pro in 2009.

Im glad to see that Sammy Vasquez is facing pretty decent competition at this stage of his career. Barthelemy shouldn't be undefeated, he got a gift decision against Usmanee.

I remember that fight he kept doing the ali shuffle lol. If I remember I think the score cards were pretty wide when they shouldn't have been. Might be wrong tho

Good step-up for Vasquez , Omtoso is a solid/durable guy who can give him a test , however he draws really well in Penn. so why move him to Vegas?
