“It was very different from what we had in mind,” Anklaev said during his press conference after the fight on Saturday evening. “As you know, Pereira usually hunts the finish – as you could see, he ran away from me.
“For 20 minutes this guy ran away from me … Maybe in the Rematch he can really fight for real and not just run away all the time.”
