TRAHAN AND DENNING IN SEARCH OF A MUCH-NEEDED WIN IN THE MMA CAGE

Lewiston, Maine (Septiembre 5, 2016) – Taylor Trahan is a statistical oddity.

A native of Littleton, New Hampshire, now living in East Concord, Vermont, the 25-year-old pursued mixed martial arts seven years ago, soon as he was legally old enough to do so. He has entered the cage a total of 20 times in professional and amateur competition.

All that experience in this neck of the woods, yet his featherweight bout against Matt Denning at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” on Sábado, Siete. 10 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee will be his debut with New England Fights.

Trahan (5-6) is not buying the underdog or bad-guy label, even though he will walk into the historic arena in a city that Denning (3-3) calls home.

“This is only a two-hour trip (each way) for most of my fans,” Trahan said. “Most of them are used to traveling four hours or more to watch me fight. They’re like, 'Oh, sweet.’”

Both fighters hope the matchup will reverse their recent career fortunes. Trahan has lost five consecutive fights since a red-hot start to his pro docket, while Denning has dropped three of his last four contests.

Denning is quick to point out that the results are deceiving on both sides.

“He fought a guy named Joe Pingitore. Beat him the first time with a rear naked choke and then lost to him in the rematch,” Denning said. “That’s a guy who is one of the best 145-pounders in New England.”

If anyone has the right to consider himself an expert in ranking those middle weight classes, it’s Denning.

The local favorite known as “Ken Doll” has never shied away from fighting the best that NEF has to offer fighters in the neighborhood of 145. Denning twice defeated Derek Shorey. He inched upward in weight, unsuccessfully, against Jon Lemke at 150 and Josh Harvey at 155. Más recientemente, Brandon Bushaw beat him by submission at “NEF 24: Promised Land” in June.

“You think about Lemke and Harvey, and I train with Jesse Erickson (at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu),” Denning said. “The only one really missing is Devin Powell. I feel like I’ve fought and trained with the best group of guys around.”

Jiu-jitsu is the go-to for both fighters. Trahan is a brown belt, while Denning is a purple belt.

In other areas, their styles clash. Three of Trahan’s pro wins have come by decision. Denning, mientras tanto, has never gone the distance as a pro. He only went to the cards once as an amateur – a loss to Dom Cofone in his cage debut.

Trahan stopped short of a prediction but said that he expects to prevail by submission.

“I see it being a slow first round for at least the first couple minutes,"Él dijo. “Then once I get my timing down and start doing the things I want to do, I don’t see it going into the third round.”

Denning has prepared for a lengthy encounter. He confessed that he smoked through most of his career but has quit.

Couple that with a renewed commitment to road work and Denning forecasts that his fans will be pleased with his readiness for the relatively unknown foe.

“I believe the longest fight I’ve had was two minutes left in the third round,” Denning said. “I feel good conditioning-wise. I’m a shorter guy, so I’ve got to stay at 145.”

He said that sparring against Erickson has prepared him for the taller Trahan.

Denning believes that his striking and wrestling are superior to Trahan’s repertoire, but he complemented his rival by adding that he considers him another in a line of rugged opponents.

“I wanted to pick someone hard to fight. This is my fourth fight in six months,” Denning said. “Before that I took a year off. The last time I won in Lewiston was September of last year. I’m hoping the hometown advantage will help a little bit this time.”

Given the unpredictable nature of MMA, pro fighters must have short memories while applying the hard lessons they learn from losses. Trahan, like Denning, thinks he has achieved that.

“I’ve learned that I have to stick to what I know, and don’t do what’s not me,” Trahan said. “I think that in order for me to win, I have to take it to the ground. I favor the ground style. He’s excellent on the ground, no me malinterpreten, but I’ve seen some things I think I can exploit.”

DE MAINE A FLORIDA, ENCONTRAR LUCHA ES EL RETO PARA LAS ATLETAS DE MMA FEMENINAS

 

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Septiembre 4, 2016) – Rachael Joyce tiene su título de ingeniería civil de la Universidad de Maine. Jessica Borga es una técnica veterinaria de Lakeland, Florida.

Lea esas biografías de una línea de las dos mujeres y probablemente no se ajusten a su perfil personal de artista marcial mixto.. Y tal vez esa presunción, y tal vez un sesgo social persistente contra las luchadoras, es la razón por la que Joyce y Borga han luchado poderosamente para encontrar oponentes en sus rincones del país.

Cada mujer pondrá fin a lo que es casi una pausa de un año de la jaula cuando Joyce (1-0) da la bienvenida a Borga (2-1) a Maine en una pelea de peso gallo en "NEF 25: Héroes y villanos." New England Fights regresa a su sede central, Coliseo del Banco Androscoggin, en Sábado, Septiembre 10.

"He tenido una pelea, en octubre pasado. Me ha resultado muy difícil encontrar peleas. Es simplemente duro. Maine no tiene la densidad de población para ello. Es difícil encontrar ese grupo de luchadores,Joyce dijo. "Al principio de su carrera, desea desarrollar esa experiencia cerca de casa. Es lo mejor para todo tu equipo, dado el compromiso que implica ”.

Joyce, que vive en la aldea de Veazie en el condado de Penobscot, divide su tiempo de entrenamiento entre Bangor, Portland y Boston.

El césped competitivo no es más verde para Borga, quien es conocida por sus fans como "La Viuda Negra" y es entrenada por Ross Kellin.

“Mi entrenador me ha programado peleas que no. Se suponía que iba a pelear ocho veces este año, y esta será mi primera.

Borga recibió una fuerte paliza en su combate anterior., un noviembre 2015 choque contra Caitlin Sammons en el que ella pesó en 126.5 libra, justo por encima del límite de peso mosca.

Dijo que las mujeres sienten una presión adicional para hacer recortes drásticos de peso debido a la falta de oportunidades de pelea disponibles., y en su caso fue especialmente peligroso.

“Aprendí que nunca pelearé en 125 de nuevo,"Borga dijo" Fue mi culpa. perdí 25 libra en dos semanas. Estaba enfermo en el campamento, y luché enferma ".

Antes de que terminara el episodio, Borga fue hospitalizado dos veces con faringitis estreptocócica, una infección renal y una infección de la vejiga.

"Yo creo (el corte de peso) fue parte de eso," ella dijo. "Estás poniendo esa tensión en tu cuerpo y tu mente. Mi juego mental luchó con lo que tuve que pasar. Creo que es más difícil para las mujeres, además. Nunca volveré a hacer eso. Aprendí que es mejor retirarse que sufrir pérdidas ".

Borga no ha experimentado tales problemas en este campamento.. Dijo que su nivel de energía está muy alto y que puede entrenar más duro durante períodos de tiempo más largos..

Ella también está ansiosa por visitar desde el Estado del Sol., un entusiasmo que no se pierde en su oponente.

"Cuando un oponente vuela desde Florida, Eso es emocionante,Joyce dijo. "Demuestra que está realmente comprometida con eso. Es difícil encontrar oponentes tan comprometidos como tú ".

Ambas mujeres son cinturones azules BJJ. Joyce se ha formado en la disciplina durante más de dos años..

Es una extensión de su infancia., cuando jugó tres deportes universitarios en cada año de la escuela secundaria. Ella bromeó diciendo que consideraba firmemente un cuarto.

“Siempre fui la chica que trató de convencer a mis padres de que me dejaran jugar al fútbol,Joyce dijo. "Ellos no escucharon nada de eso. Estoy seguro de que están encantados de que su hija de 20 y tantos años sea ahora una luchadora.. No, son solidarios, pero ahora es mi decisión ".

Joyce nunca probó deportes individuales antes del reino del combate., pero rápidamente se convirtió en una fanática de las MMA femeninas, ya que estalló en popularidad a nivel de UFC..

"Miesha Tate y Ronda Rousey se acercaban, y luego (Presidente de UFC) Dana White tenía su famosa frase de que 'nunca habrá mujeres en UFC,Joyce dijo. "Vi lo que estaban haciendo y dije, 'Yo puedo hacer eso. Voy a hacer eso ".

Ahora las mujeres esperan un repunte en la participación femenina que no parece seguir el éxito de esos modelos internacionales..

Joyce dijo que recibió invitaciones para luchar en Nueva Jersey a principios de este año, pero que esos, además, hubiera requerido un incómodo corte a un pesaje el mismo día de 125 o incluso 115 libra.

Así que se retiró a un juego de entrenar y esperar. Gracias a los de ideas afines, Borga igualmente desafiado por la lucha, La espera casi ha terminado.

"Siempre me han gustado las MMA, siempre amé pelear. Supongo que fui conocido por eso cuando era niño. Todos los que me conocen siempre me empujaron a meterme en esto,Borga dijo. "Lo intenté hace ocho años y descubrí de inmediato que estaba embarazada, para que eso le detenga. Cuando mi hijo cumplió cinco, Dije, "Es ahora o nunca". Empecé a entrenar y me desarrollé muy rápido. Mis entrenadores dijeron que tenía un don para eso ".

La campana de apertura de Septiembre 10 se establece para 7 p.m. El expediente actual para "NEF 25: Héroes y villanos ”incluye cuatro combates de boxeo profesional., seis combates profesionales de artes marciales mixtas y cinco eliminatorias de MMA amateur.

San Antonio (Siete. 3) – Darwin Price stayed true to his jab against Javontae Starks, and in return it stayed true to him.
Working consistently behind his piston-like left hand Sábado noche, Price was able to follow up with power shots as he earned a seventh-round TKO in a 142-pound main event at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio.
Precio de Darwin (11-0, 6 KOs) frustrated Javontae Starks (13-2, 7 KOs) throughout the scheduled eight-round bout with his jab, which he doubled to set up combinations.
After a measured first two rounds in which both boxers threw almost nothing but jabs, Price loaded up a right hand behind a pair of jabs to knock Starks to the canvas in Round 3.
I had to pick up the tempo, so I kept the jab going. I had to be smart,” Price said. “He’s a technical fighter, so I had to keep it tactical in the ring, so I kept using the jab, keeping him at bay, feigning and moving my feet because my speed was a lot faster than his.
In the seventh, Price landed another crisp double jab followed by a straight right that had Starks hurt and trying to hold on. Price began throwing wildly with both hands in an attempt to finish off Starks, who was pinned against the ropes.
Precio, 27, then connected on a straight right that stunned Starks and began to dial in with both hands as referee Mark Calo-Oy briefly separated the fighters before stepping right back in to stop the fight at 1:52 de la ronda.
I kept on bringing the double jab with the right hand because he was open with the right hand, I just didn’t throw it in the beginning that much,” Price said. “But it brought that knockdown and it brought that knockout, so I’m thankful for that.
Precio, who was a star distance runner at Grambling State University for four years before starting his pro boxing career, had won his last two fights by eight-round unanimous decision.
It was the second straight defeat for Starks, who was fighting for the first time in more than 300 days since losing an eight-round decision to Samuel Figueroa last year in Orlando, Florida.
Despite fighting at the lowest weight of his pro career, the 27-year-old Minneapolis native made no excuses after the loss.
He had a pretty good stiff, quick jab and it took me a second to come in and get heated up,” Starks said. “I’ve been off since last October; he just pretty much fought a couple of months ago, but he came in and did his job. Hizo lo que se suponía que debía hacer, stuck to his game plan, and he made it difficult for me to get through the jab.
En acción del respaldo, Kent Cruz (11-0, 6 KOs) earned an eight-round unanimous decision over Rickey Edwards (11-1, 3 KOs) in a clash of unbeaten 140-pound prospects. Cruz floored Edwards in Round 2 with an overhand right to take early command of the bout.
David Pérez (8-0, 4 KOs) delivered a lights-out right hand to gain a sixth-round KO of Gustavo Molina (12-13, 5 KOs) in a 122-pound bout. Perez put Molina down in Round 3 before finishing him off in the final round of the fight.
dominicano 2012 Olympian Junior Castillo (11-1, 9 KOs) gained a six-round unanimous decision over Josue Obando (12-11-1, 10 KOs) in a 162-pound bout.
Justin Pauldo (8-1, 4 KOs) defeated Eric Anton (4-4, 1 KO) by six-round unanimous decision in a 135-pound bout.

BRANDON MONTELLA PREPARES FOR BOXING BATTLE IN LEWISTON, MAINE

Lewiston, Maine (Septiembre 2, 2016) – The 3,800-square foot warehouse in Woburn, Massachusetts, is known simply as “The Way.”

No coincidence, since the proprietor who lives out his passion as a personal trainer under its roof, Brandon Montella, has found a way, in his own unique way.

From a turbulent childhood in North Anson, Maine, to four years of meritorious service in the United States Marine Corps, to the mixed emotions of staying ahead in the professional rat race, to intense personal tragedy, Montella, 36, has endured what most would consider a lifetime’s worth of challenges.

Yet he perseveres, finding strength and clarity in a life devoted to helping others. And he stays sharp, counter-intuitive as it may seem to the uninitiated, by letting other people punch him in the face.

“On a personal level it helped me so much. I had a lot of fear, maybe a little lack of confidence, due to some of the abuse in my past,” Montella said. “Boxing helped me so much with that. It made me a more complete person. I’m a better husband, a better businessman, a better man since I started fighting.”

A late bloomer who didn’t fully immerse himself in the fight game until his 30s, Montella (4-0, 3 KOs) will put his undefeated credentials on the line against Tollison Lewis (2-1, 1 KO) en "NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” on Sábado, Septiembre 10 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine, the venerable boxing venue that in 1965, when it was known as “St. Domenic’s Hall,” played host to the infamous Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston II world heavyweight title rematch. (Sí, the same boxing bout that spawned rumors of thephantom punch,” and produced the most iconic image in the history of sports photography.)

Montella was born in Massachusetts but spent much of his childhood in the Western foothills of Maine, where he graduated from Carrabec High School. He describes those formative years as “a tough time, a little bit of a struggle,” and says fighting was both a means of both self-defense and a way of compensating for that lack of self-esteem.

“I wouldn’t change it for the world now,” Montella said. “It helped shape who I am. I tell everybody the Marine Corps started the process of my becoming a man, and boxing helped finish it.”

He spent four years in the service before receiving an honorable discharge. Along the way he met his wife, Tonya, and settled into the comfortable habit of seeking significance through work.

Fatefully, and admittedly on a lark, he accepted a military buddy’s challenge to enter a Toughman contest. It was the amateur, brawling, distant cousin of boxing that Eric “Butterbean” Esch made famous.

“I was a 240-pound meathead. Three one-minute rounds; that seemed like it was right up my alley,” Montella said.

In the process, Montella discovered that getting back in shape, setting goals and chasing intangible successes that were larger than wins and losses suited him, demasiado.

“That was a turning point for me. Corporate America, I just wasn’t into it,” Montella said. “I couldn’t lie to people and take advantage of them. I couldn’t deal with it morally. I had to turn my back on that. The Marine Corps taught me a different code. I cashed in my 401(k), moved to Massachusetts, became a personal trainer.”

Bien, it wasn’t quite that easy. He had to sell Tonya, whom he describes as “the major breadwinner in the house,” on the merits of such a change. She already had politely proclaimed Maine a great vacation spot but not a place she cared to settle down, for professional reasons.

En 2008, work took Tonya to Boston.

“It was when the Celtics were getting ready to win the championship. She got caught up in the atmosphere and came home and told me, ‘I would move to Boston.’ I said OK,” Montella recalled with a laugh. “I didn’t let her take that back.”

Montella started his gym in a 10-feet-by-10-feet basement of a townhouse. He took up amateur boxing, en parte, to set an example for his clients.

“I decided I couldn’t train athletes if I’m not doing the (cosas). I want to wear the boots before the suits, ya sabes?” Montella said. "Seis meses después Yo era el no. 1 ranked heavyweight in New England. It blew my mind. I found a place that was home.”

Ganó 14 de su 21 peleas como amateur, including a novice heavyweight championship in Golden Gloves.

Montella’s trainees have watched him conquer adversity in the prize ring and fight through tragedy in his personal life. Tonya and Brandon’s first child was stillborn on Christmas 2015.

Boxeo, and the wilderness in the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain that holds so many contradictory memories for Montella, are part of his healing process.

“I’m here in Maine now getting ready, diving off 40-foot cliffs, doing hill sprints up 100-foot sand dunes, training like a savage,” Montella said. “We used to go up there to drink. All the crazy stuff I did as a kid, now I use it to make myself the best I can be.

“I preach it all the time at my gym: See the world as your training facility. What someone else sees as a cliff, I see as place to work on my focus and mental control. Where they see nothing but trees and open space, I see as a place to go and meditate. In my 30s, I don’t need drugs or alcohol now to be open with my emotions. Boxing has given me the strength to be who I always wanted to be.”

La campana de apertura de Septiembre 10 se establece para 7 p.m. El expediente actual para "NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and six amateur MMA scraps. Los boletos cuestan desde $25 y están disponibles en www.TheColisee.com o llamando a la taquilla en Colisee207.783.2009, extensión 525.

Each ICBL season will feature four pre-determined weight classes, featuring eight international boxers, per class, in a single-elimination tournament format. The winner of each weight class will receive the League title for that class and the season ending points standing determines the pound for pound championship.
“Sin duda, a uniformed professional boxing league is what fighters and fans have wanted for years,” dijo Fulton.

DeLomba upsets Cowart and Fernandez Shines in DBE Debut

NEW ENGLAND STRONG
RESULTS FROM FOXWOODS
(all pictures by Ed Diller/DiBella Entertainment)
Mashantucket, Connecticut (Septiembre 2, 2016) – New England boxers dominated last night’s Broadway Boxing, presented by DiBella Entertainment and sponsored by Nissan of Queens, Optyx, Azad Watches and Christos Steak House, held in the Fox Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
