Pro

Bartelemí made his pro debut on April 27, 2007 by winning a UD against Ravil Mukhamadiarov and knocked him down in the 4th round. Bartelemí was 6-0 before being shockingly upset by unheralded Ernie Marquez, suffering his 1st loss. Bartelemí then went to win the vacant WBC Latino Bantamweight title in his next match. He most recently was upset by Jorge Diaz after taking the fight on short notice, losing by TKO, a major career setback.^{[citation needed]}
