The vacant WBA lightweight title was contested by Barthelemy and Easter. Unfortunately the WBA lightweight title remains vacant because the 2 fighters fought to a lousy split draw. According to pundits, there were so few punches that the whole fight was boring and it was deserving of the split draw. Everyone seems to agree that it was a ho-hum fight and so unlike of a world championship fight. Maybe the fighters were scared to be hurt.
