According to “The Baddy”, Evloev could have made it to the end of the round if he had moved rather than hidden in the final seconds.
“Evloev quit there for me. Just flipped,” Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. “With five seconds left, you just have to move to keep the fight going. You can’t just start hiding.”
Evloev defeated Lerone Murphy, Aljamain Sterling, Arnold Allen and Diego Lopes
before his first professional loss to Volkanovski. Meanwhile, the champion has expressed interest in another fight after retaining his title.
