It was the biggest test of Anane's young professional career, and he passed it with flying colors by securing a unanimous decision victory.

The full 6-foot-4 body frame of the Algerian-Thai contender was fully maximized during the match by keeping 'The Demolition Man' at bay throughout the three-round contest.
Anane's best weapons throughout the match were his jab and kicks on Lobo's inside leg that significantly slowed his Brazilian opponent's movement. Eventually, he secured the unanimous decision nod from the judges to collect his fourth straight victory in the promotion.
