“When I received the call from my adviser Al Haymon this past week asking me if I was open to bumping up my bout to the 26th, I was all for it. To be able to fight on prime time television on NBC is a blessing. I remember speaking with my grandmother before my last bout who doesn’t have cable and she was able to see me last time on regular television. It means a lot to me that she is able to watch me again.”

NEF XX FIGHT CARD TO FEATURE EXCITING WOMEN’S BOUT
Lewiston, Majno (Septembro 15, 2015) ?? Novaj Angliaj Bataloj (NEF), Ameriko’s nombro-unu regiona batala #anta?enigo, tenos lian proksiman okazaĵon, “NEF Jarcento: Historio de Perforto” Sur Sabato, Novembro 21, 2015 ĉe la Androscoggin Banko Colisée en Lewiston, Majno. The event will feature a first for Maine – #Memkontra?a-milita-artoj (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Sabato Nokto #?e “NEF jarcento,” the MMA portion of the card is scheduled to feature an amateur strawweight women’s bout between Randi Beth Boyington (1-1) Kaj Erin “Fun Size” Lamonte (3-0).
Boyington is the wife of reigning NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “#Sufi?e Knabo” Boyington (10-8) who will also be in action on the Novembro 21 Karto. Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) via unanimous decision at “NEFa XVII.” The crowd in the Colisée was on fire as the bout went back and forth through three hard-fought rounds. Randi trains under her husband at Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, as well as at Young’s MMA in Bangor, Majno.
“I’m excited to be stepping back into the cage in November – it’s something I’m looking forward to,” said Randi Beth Boyington when reached for comment. “I’m expecting Erin to be a tough opponent, and I’m training as such. I never underestimate someone’s ability. I know what I’m bringing to the cage as well and NEF fans will be impressed in November. Fighting on the same night as my husband is a bonus. We’re both hungry to have our hands raised at the end of our fights. I don’t think many others could understand or appreciate the emotions that a couple share until they go through a training camp to fight on the same card.”
Erin Lamonte is not a stranger to the NEF cage. She appeared for the promotion in early 2013, defeating Angela Theriault (0-1) via first round technical knockout (TKO). Lamonte was victorious twice more that year before taking time off from competing to have a baby with her husband Casey. Returning to the cage onNovembro 21, it will have been nearly two years since the undefeated Lamonte won her last bout on a fight card in West Virginia. She has been eager to return to action for some time.
“I am extremely excited to finally be back in cage on Novembro 21, fighting Randi Beth Boyington,” stated Lamonte. “After a lengthy time off due to the birth of our son, I am itching to get back to training and competing. Time to prove that the new and improved mama Fun Size can still kick ass. Post kiam ĉiuj, the mother lioness is one of the most ferocious and feared in the animal kingdom.”
