Review: 2014-07-10, good start but the rest of the fight was not so exciting: the second fight between Argenis Mendez and Rances Barthelemy gets two stars. Argenis Mendez entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 21-2-1 (11 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.7 super featherweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Mikey Garcia), he suffered his second defeat in 2011 when he faced Juan Carlos Salgado but he took revenge on him in 2013 winning the Ibf super-Fw title (Salgado vs Mendez 2).
His opponent, the undefeated Rances Barthelemy, has a perfect record of 19-0-0 (12 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class. The first fight between Mendez and Barthelemy ended in a no-contest (Mendez vs Barthelemy I); this second fight is valid for the IBF super featherweight title (Mendez’s third defense).

Forgone conclusion to this fight.
The reversal of the first fight was ridiculous.
In this 2nd fight Mendez was tentative the entire fight.Barthelemy didn’t push the fight either. But he didnt have to to win.
I really hope they dont have these 2 fight again.
