VIDEO: Anthony Pettis’ boxing looks on point ahead of the upcoming defence of his lightweight belt

Rafael dos Anjos ought to be more than a little wary of that Pettis right hand

We all know that Anthony Pettis has a kick or two in his arsenal.

But his hands don’t look too sloppy either as he prepares for Saturday’s clash with number one contender Rafael dos Anjos.

Just listen to the impact of his right hand on the pads of head coach Duke Roufus and you’ll see that the UFC lightweight champion has more to his toolbox than his famous Showtime kick.

Pettis (18-2) is currently a 2/9 favourite over the Brazilian for their UFC 185 meeting and it’s hard to argue with those odds judging by his comfortability in the boxing realm.
