MONTREAL – If Rafael dos Anjos is on a quest to show he’s ready to be at the next level, his Saturday message may have been duly noted by the rest of the lightweight division.
Dos Anjos had little trouble with Mark Bocek, repeatedly stuffing the Canadian’s takedown attempts – and instead taking Bocek down several times, himself.
In all, the Brazilian stuffed the home favorite 12 times and cruised to a unanimous decision victory with a sweep of the scorecards.
