O’Meley and Bargero were both bloodied after the six-round fight but the Hunter fighter got the nod from the judges, in his toughest contest to date.
The fight was on the undercard of Anthony Mundine’s second-round KO over former featherweight world title contender Tommy Browne at Star City Casino in Sydney.
O’Meley sparred with Mundine in the lead-up to the fight and earned praise from Mundine who predicted O’Meley could be a future world champion.
The 24-year-old from Cessnock is part of leading boxing promoter Stuart Duncan’s camp, which includes Mundine and Australian world champion Jeff Horn.
O’Meley’s next bout is expected to be in the Hunter on a date to be decided.
