Rances Barthelemy (born 25 June 1986 in Cuba) is a Cuban professional boxer and a former IBF Super Featherweight Champion. Rances has two brothers, Yan Barthelemy and Leduan Barthelemy, who are also professional boxers. Barthelemy was a standout amateur, competing in more than 200 fights and winning a Cuban junior national championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Rances Barthelemy )〕 Barthelemy defected to the United States prior to the 2008 Olympics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=For Rances Barthelemy, journey to United States was more than 35 attempts in the making )〕 He left Cuba over frustration with how his brother Yan’s career was developing and the implications that it could have for his own future in the sport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Rances Barthelemy )〕 ==Professional career== Barthelemy defeated Arash Usmanee on January 4, 2013 by a controversial twelve round unanimous decision which many observers thought Usmanee had won and became the #2 contender for the IBF Super Featherweight title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Usmanee robbed against Barthelemy )〕 Barthelemy would later become the #1 contender by defeating Fahsai Sakkreerin on June 21, 2013 by second round knockout.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barthelemy Stops Sakkreerin In Two; Truax Bombs George )〕 Barthelemy originally defeated Argenis Mendez on January 3, 2014 to win the title,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barthelemy Shocks Mendez with 2nd Round KO; Wins Title )〕 but the win was considered controversial, as Barthelemy knocked Mendez out seconds after the bell to signal the end of the second round came. Mendez and his team filled an appeal to the Minnesota Combative Sports Commission and IBF shortly after the fight,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mendez Appeal Received By Minnesota Commission, IBF )〕 and after the appeal was successful on January 30, 2014, the result was changed to a no decision and Mendez was reinstated as the IBF Super Featherweight champion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Argenis Mendez reinstated as IBF super featherweight titlist, loss to Barthelemy overturned )〕 Barthelemy later defeated Mendez in a rematch on July 10, 2014 via unanimous decision to win the title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cuba native, Miami resident Rances Barthelemy wins title in unanimous decision )〕 He vacated his title in February 2015 in anticipation of moving up in weight category.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/pedraza-dib-in-the-works-279884 )〕 In his next contest, fighting in the super lightweight division against Antonio DeMarco at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 21, 2015, Barthelemy gained a convincing victory. Barthelemy showed his versatility early, coming out orthodox before switching up to southpaw midway throughout the first round. Barthelemy scored a knockdown with a huge left in the fourth round, but DeMarco survived the round. Barthelemy lost a point in the ninth round for excessive low blows, but it wasn’t enough to affect the outcome as he won 99-89 on all three cards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rances Barthelemy fires all his guns in wide win over Antonio DeMarco )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rances Barthelemy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
