Rances Barthelemy – Boxer: A lanky and strong 5’10” with heavy hands behind well leveraged punches. Awkward switch-hitter that makes excellent use of distance with his jab and ring movement. High level amateur with a reported amateur record of 193-39. Looks for knockouts with his left cross from the southpaw stance or left hook as a righty. Has every punch and the book and is very accurate. Plenty of heart and a solid chin. One of the best defensive fighters in boxing and knows how to evade punches with his hands at his waist. On the downside Barthelemy isn’t overly fast and still does not own a siganture win on his ledger.
Mickey Bey – Boxer: A very sturdy 5’8″ with quick twitch muscle fibers and good power in both hands. Is a natural counterpuncher but can do a little bit of everything. Deep amateur pedigree with over 160 amateur fights. Has fast hands and is a well-rounded boxer that can fight at all ranges. Has been hurt in fights but has a decent chin and a good motor. Trains out of Mayweather Gym and gets plenty of high level sparring. On the downside, Bey loads up his punches too often and can be countered with big shots. Throws with conviction to the body but can headhunt at times. Can be far too patient with his punch output, making it easy for opponents to win round just on work rate.
