Abass Baraou came into San Diego County, took on hometown favorite Giovani Santillan and walked away with the WBO Intercontinental super-welterweight title. Baraou speaks to BoxingScene immediately after the fight about his performance, beating Santillan on home turf and what this victory means for his push back toward a world title opportunity. After previously holding the WBA title and coming off a razor-close split-decision defeat to Xander Zayas, Baraou has put himself right back into the conversation at 154lbs.
