FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

發表評論

 

路易斯頓, 緬因 (五月 21, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十八屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十八NEF: MADE IN AMERICA,” 上 星期六, 六月 13, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. 今天早些時候，, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature 傑里米·泰勒 (4-3) 面對 約翰尼工藝品 (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

 

Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, 緬因, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the 六月 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “第十八NEF,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.

 

“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so 6月13日 can’t get here fast enough.”

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “第十八NEF,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 年度最佳新秀” by NEF fans.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”

 

門票 “第十八NEF: MADE IN AMERICA” 開始只是 $25 而在銷售現在 www.TheColisee.com 或致電在Colisée酒店票房 207.783.2009 X 525. 有關事件，並拼牌更新的詳細信息, 請訪問推廣的網站 www.NewEnglandFights.com. 此外, 你可以在觀看視頻NEF www.youtube.com/NEFMMA, 按照他們的Twitter @nefights並加入官方Facebook集團“新英格蘭戰鬥。”

發表評論

五月 2 Installment Of Annual Breakfast Celebrated Hard Working Professionals in Sports and Entertainment

拉斯維加斯 (五月 20) – 梅威瑟促銷 kicked-off the Saturday, 五月 2 梅威瑟VS. Pacquiao festivities with the 貿易悍將 breakfast entitled “冠軍早餐,” in celebration of the hard working professionals in sports and entertainment. 今年，, the Titans of the Trade Committee honored three formidable women who have forged their own paths to success in the sports industry – renowned sportscaster Lesley Visser, 前世界冠軍 米婭聖. 約翰· and New York State Athletic Commission Chairwoman Melvina拉森.

 

“I accept this award on behalf of anyone who has faced the odds and over came them,” said Visser. “Mandela once said, ‘Sport has the power to change the world,’ and I agree because this honor I’ve received today is an example of how sport has changed the world.”

 

In addition to the honorees, there was a full program of speakers and other activities. Guest speakers included boxing legend and Hall of Famer Lucia Rijker 和 Andrea Haynes 和 博士. Rena Menard of the United States National Committee for United Nations Women (Houston Chapter).

 

Haynes and Menard spoke specifically about HeForShe, a solidarity movement for gender equality developed by UN Women to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change for the achievement of gender equality and women’s rights. The campaign encourages them to speak out and take action against inequalities faced by women and girls.

 

“Why I’m passionate about the HeForShe campaign is because it is important that we get the men involved to support us,” said Haynes. “UN Women and He for She is dear because what it’s saying is that we all recognize that for us to be better and do better, we have to support our women.”

BIG-TIME BOXING RETURNS TO BOSTON ON SATURDAY, MAY 23 WITH PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS ON NBC

發表評論

TAKE A LOOK BACK AT BOSTON’S RICH BOXING HISTORY

波士頓 (五月 20, 2015) – Boston is known for being home to some of the most passionate sports fans in the country, but many may not know that it is also a city that has had a long and rich history with the sweet science. 上 星期六, 五月 23, world championship boxing is officially back in Beantown when 總理拳擊冠軍 上 NBC returns with a showdown between 安德烈Dirrell 和 詹姆斯DeGale at Boston University’s Agganis Arena with coverage on NBC beginning at 4:30 P.M. AND/1:30 P.M. PT.

 

The last time Boston saw a world championship fight was May 23, 2006 when two world title fights took place at TD Bank Garden, formerly the Boston Garden. That night saw British superstar 瑞奇 “殺手” Hatton 敗 路易斯·科拉佐 in a welterweight world title fight, 而 埃里克·艾肯 心煩此前不敗 Valdemir Pereira for a featherweight world title.

“Fighting in the Boston Garden was a great honor, never mind in a world title fight, but even a four rounder,” 說 托尼·德馬科, who won the welterweight world title in 1955 at the Boston Garden. “I had more fights there than anybody (28), including my pro debut. It’s always good fighting at home. You’re more comfortable at home. The fans know and honor you. Boston fans were real fight fans.”

 

Boston has been deeply invested in boxing since the early 20日 century. 從 1902-1908 the small town of Chelsea that borders Boston became the mecca for boxing as the sport was banned throughout most of America. 然而, Chelsea had a special ordinance that legalized boxing. It was during this time that Jack Johnson was faced with what he admitted was the toughest fight of his career, when he defended his heavyweight title against Sam Langford on April 6, 1906. Johnson won by a 15-round unanimous decision and refused to fight Langford again.

 

此外, Fenway Park, famed home of the Boston Red Sox, 託管 29 professional boxing cards between 1919 和 1956. Beyond just hosting big fights, Boston has also produced a slew of Hall of Fame talent who were either born in Massachusetts or called the state home.

 

Noteworthy names include Roxbury heavyweight champions John L. Sullivan, Brockton heavyweight 洛磯馬爾恰諾and Brockton resident and middleweight champion 奇妙的馬文·哈格勒. Boston’s own featherweight champions桑迪薩德勒 和 喬治·狄克遜 plus Boston promoter Rip Valenti have all been enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

 

“Fighting in Boston was a great experience,” 說 約翰·魯伊斯, a two-time heavyweight world champion from Chelsea. “Like any sport, Boston sports fans are true fans who follow your progress. I could feel their emotion wherever I fought. I will never forget them. I fought in Las Vegas a lot and there were always Boston fans there supporting me. I always appreciated them traveling all over the country to my fights.”

 

A father-son duo from Arlington, 質量. both had an impact on the heavyweight landscape decades after each other. 湯姆·麥克尼利 fought heavyweight world champion 弗洛伊德帕特森 在 1961 and dropped the champion before eventually succumbing to a fourth round knockout. 過度 30 years later, his son 彼得 was the first man to fight 邁克·泰森 after he was released from prison, with the fight ending in McNeeley being disqualified.

 

One of the more unique athletes to come out of Boston, 博士. Wilbert “Skeeter” McClure was an Olympic Gold medalist, a doctor of psychology and a Massachusetts boxing commissioner. While at the 1960 奧運會, McClure served as the co-captain for Team USA and was the roommate of fellow gold medalist 卡修斯·克萊. While he never reached his potential as a professional, he received opportunities against world class opponents Luis Manuel Rodriguez 兩次，何塞·托雷斯, losing all three by decision. He also lost a decision and fought to a draw against 魯賓 “颶風” 卡特. After his professional boxing career, McClure served as a Massachusetts boxing commissioner before eventually retiring in the Boston area where he resides to this day.

 

Another greatly revered fighter to come out of the Boston-area is Lowell’s 米奇沃德. Hugely popular for his exciting style, Ward compiled a 38-13 pro record with 27 擊倒. He was most known for the three epic fight of the year award-winning battles with the late Arturo Gatti. Ward’s life and career was portrayed in the award-winning film “戰鬥機”, which starred Mark Wahlberg as Ward.

 

“It was great fighting in Boston. The fans were very supportive and knowledgeable about the game,” 沃德說：. “It was like I was fighting at home…it was home for me as a fighter. Fans traveled a lot to my fights, 太. They were a little crazy, drank lot of beer and were more vocal than most places I ever fought. I loved it.”
