Rahman wins a UD over "Two Guns" Barrett, so it looks like Rahman is the new 'interim heavyweight champ,' which in and of itself is a joke, that Don King can even get the WBC to RECOGNIZE an interim champ.
King said after the fight that Rahman is the mandatory challenger for Vitali, and that their fight must take place sometime before the end of the year, which is a far cry from the 'we'll fight in Septemeber' mantra we heard just a couple of weeks ago.
But anyway, I didn't see ANYTHING in this fight, from either Rahman or Barrett, that made me think Vitali is in any danger of losing to Rahman. If Vitali fights the same way in this fight as he has in every fight since the Lewis fight, he will knock Rahman out.
Easy.
