Rahman: USA is on my back!
WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman says he's taking taking the "America's Last Line of Defense" them of Saturday's title defense against Oleg Maskaev very seriously. "All the other belt holders are not American and they trying to get a clean sweep," says The Rock. "So, they going to send me out there to represent my country and I will do that....I need to hold it down for my country. I feel like if I lose this fight, I let me down, my family down, my team down, and my country down. Never before have I felt like I put my country on my back, and I'm fighting for my country, solely for my country. And, I feel like I can't allow this to happen. I can't allow them to get a clean sweep." Rahman also addressed on the fact that the Kazakhstan-born Maskaev, who became a U.S. citizen two years ago, says he's bothered by the fight's theme. "I don't really care where he's from, how long he's been here, THIS American will hold the title....if his feelings are hurt, his feelings ae hurt. I don't care. His body going to hurt on the 12th."
