The event, titled “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, Aprily 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the card.Brandon “BAMF” Maillet-Fevens(3-1) hiatrikaNathaniel Grimard(1-0) at a fight weight of 145 kilao.
Brandon Maillet-Fevens made his amateur debut at “NEF 36” in November 2018, losing via submission in the first round. Since that time, Maillet-Fevens has not looked back. He went on a three-fight win-streak in 2019, finishing all three of his opponents in the process. Most recently, Maillet-Fevens was successful over Tyler Knights (0-1) with a second-round submission at “NEF 41” last November. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, ME.
“I’m excited and grateful for the opportunity to once again get back in the NEF cage,” said Maillet-Fevens. “I think Nathaniel presents some challenges I haven’t had to deal with yet, but we’ve been hard at work improving every aspect of my game and I’m going to be comfortable wherever the fight goes. I’m looking forward to putting on a good fight for the fans and showcasing what CMBJJ is all about!"
Nathaniel Grimard impressed many with his first-round armbar submission of Justin Kangas (0-3) last September at “NEF 40” in what was Grimard’s cage debut. That fight took place within the 155-pound lightweight division. Grimard feels the ten-pound drop to featherweight will further benefit his comfort level in the cage. He represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (10-4).
“I’m excited for this opportunity NEF has given me to fight a very game opponent in April,” said Grimard. “I am stepping in the cage more comfortable and prepared this time at a weight class I belong. With both of us having finished our past opponents, I expect Brandon to bring it in April, and I think it’s going to be a great and exciting fight.”

Wilder:
Fihetsiketsehana, mpiady maloto matetika amin'ny sandry lava sy hery manova ady amin'ny totohondry roa, Wilder dia nametraka ny tandavan-tànana tamin'ny tànany mitarika ary manaraka azy amin'ny karazana paompy mahery.

Matoky tena, matoky tena, ary indraindray mpiady koka, Ny fahatezerana dia manana hetsika haingana sy haingana ho an'ny mpiady lehibe toy izany. Izy dia mampifangaro ny asan'ny tongotra tsara amin'ny fihetsiky ny vatana ambony sy ny fahaizana mitifitra na orthodox na any atsimo, mitazona ny fifandanjan'ny mpanohitra ary mametraka ny fanafihany manafintohina.
IREO VOALOHANY VOALOHANY

Hery
Wilder:
* Hery - Ny fipoahana amin'ny faran'ny totohondry Wilder, voalohany indrindra dia ny tanana ankavanana, dia ampahany amin'ny nokleary. Raha ny tanany havia kosa mitondra pop be ao, dia ny tànana ankavanan'ny Wilder izay hita fa mety ho totohondry nandrava indrindra tamin'ny ady totohondry androany. Afaka mamarana ny ady izy amin'ny alàlan'ny fametrahana ny tànany ankavanana mahitsy eo afovoany, manindrona azy eo amboniny, na ny fizarana ny mpiambina ho toy ny sisin-dalana ambony.
* Conditioning - Tany am-piandohan'ny asany, rehefa namarana ny adiny rehetra tao anatin'ny fihodinana vitsivitsy izy, misy ny marika fanontaniany raha toa ka manjavona i Wilder amin'ny fihodinana manaraka. Noporofoiny fa afaka mitolona mafy toy izany koa izy amin'ny faramparan'ny fihodinana ary afaka mandondona mandra-pahatongan'ny lakolosy famaranana.
* Athleticism - Wilder dia manambatra ny habe tsy dia fahita firy, hafainganam-pandeha, fahefana, ary ny fahaizan'ny atletisma izay mora eritreretina hoe manjakazaka amin'ny karazana sehatry ny atletisma izy.
Fahatezerana:
* Hetsika - Ho an'ny lehilahy manana ny habeny sy ny vatany mitovy amin'ny volafotsy, Ny fahatezerana dia mihetsika amin'ny fahasoavana sy fahaizan'ny mpandihy baleta iray. Izy dia maivana amin'ny tongony ary manana fihetsiketsehana ambony izy izay tsy dia mahazatra loatra ho an'ny olona lehibe toy izany.
* Fahatokisana - Matoky tena tanteraka ny fahatezerana ary mino ny fahaizany. Izy dia mampiseho kely na tsy misy tahotra eo amin'ny peratra. Ny toetrany karismatika natoky tena dia manome azy tombony ara-tsaina.
* Maharesy - Na miakatra amin'ny canvas manohitra an'i Wilder izany, mandresy ny fanapahana mahatsiravina atao amin'i Wallin, na miady amin'ny famoizam-po sy ny fidorohana zava-mahadomelina, Ny fahatezerana dia naneho hafanana sy faharetana tokony hoderaina.
Fahalemena
Wilder:
* Sloppy - Wilder dia mampiseho finoana matanjaka be amin'ny heriny ka matetika dia masiaka sy misolelaka amin'ny totohondry sy ny tongony. Matetika izy dia mijery amizista amin'ny peratra.
* Olana amin'ny boxers - Ireo mpiady izay mampiasa hetsika tsara sy fahaiza-manao ady totohondry Wilder. Sahirana izy mametraka ny tongony ary matetika izy no mihemotra. Nandeha an-dàlana tamin'i Luis Ortiz tamin'ny ady roa izy ary niavaka tamin'ny ankamaroan'ny ady voalohany nataony tamin'i Fury.
* Chin - Ireo fotoana vitsivitsy nanaraha-maso mafy ny saoka an'i Wilder, naneho lesoka izy tamin'ny faharetany. Ortiz dia nandratra azy mafy ary teo akaikin'ny fahaverezan'ny fihodinana.
Fahatezerana:
* Fanelingelenana - Fury dia tia ny lazany vaovao hita sy ny firesahana WWE sy MMA. Nisaraka tamin'ny mpanazatra azy Ben Davidson izy ary miantso ny fitifirany. Fury koa dia manana ody ao amin'ny peratra izay tsy ahitany fifantohana ary hitany teo amin'ny lamba mihoatrana mihoatra ny indray mandeha izy nandritra ny fotoana tsy nifantoka.
* Fiainana manokana - Izy io dia voarakitra tsara ny demonia manokana an'ny Fury miaraka amin'ny fahaketrahana sy ny fidorohana zava-mahadomelina, miaraka amin'ny lanja mavesatra mihoatra 400 lbs. Na dia mendri-piderana aza ny fandreseny noho ireo demonia ireo, ny vokany maharitra ara-batana dia tsy azo lavina.
* Hoditra– Dimy volana monja taorian'i Fury no nibontsina ny masony havanana nanohitra an'i Otto Wallin, mitaky 47 zaitra. Raha ny dokotera kosa dia nihevitra fa ny sitrana dia sitrana, ny hodiny malefaka dia afaka misokatra indray amin'ny fotoana tsy mety indrindra.
HIVERINA BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) - Nahazo ny lalao famonoana avy any aoriana an'i Wilder indray i Wilder. Rehefa avy navoaka ho an'ny ankamaroan'ny fihodinana enina voalohany, Wilder dia nametraka ny elany niaraka tamin'i Ortiz nandreraka ary nilatsaka tànana ankavanana nibolisatra izay niteraka fidona iray.
Fahatezerana:
(9/14/19) - Tafavoaka tamin'ny fifaninanana feno rà niaraka tamin'i Otto Wallin tsy resy i Fury. Fahavoa dia voan'ny kapoka teo amin'ny masony ankavanana tao amin'ny 3RD boribory ary nisy fiantraikany mazava tamin'ny fahitany ny ra. Na eo aza ny fahasimbana, Fury dia mbola nifehy ny hetsika ary nandratra an'i Wallin imbetsaka nankany amin'ny fandresena amin'ny fanapahan-kevitra.
3 Bita tsara indrindra vitan'ny
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) - Rehefa avy nianjera tany aloha tany aoriana, Wilder no nandray an-tanana ny 4faha- boribory ary nanomboka nipetraka sy nifehy ny hetsika. Tanana ankavanana tokana ao amin'ny 9faha- manodidina dia nandefa an'i Szpilka ary tsy nahatsiaro tena, ny 2016 Knockout ny Taona.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) - Namaly ny fanontaniany momba ny tanjany i Wilder tamin'ny alàlan'ny fandehanany feno 12 fihodinana voalohany tamin'ny asany ary naka ny anaram-boninahitra WBC nandritra izany. Wilder dia nampiasa ny jab lava nataony ary nitazona an'i Stiverne tsy ho afa-baraka niaraka tamin'ny fahaizany ambany.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) - Tafavoaka velona tamin'ny fotoana nahatahotra i Wilder nanohitra ilay veteraney kiobanina matetika sorohina alohan'ny nandresen'i 10faha- knockout manodidina. Wilder dia nanahiran-tsaina ny fahaizan'ny Ortiz ady totohondry talohan'ny nandondohany azy tamin'ny 5faha- boribory Hetsika Ortiz tao amin'ny 7faha- Naratra mafy tokoa i Wilder saingy afaka nanangona indray i Wilder ary namono ny fandondonana amam-potoana vitsivitsy taty aoriana.
Fahatezerana:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) - niditra tao an-tokontanin'i Klitschko i Fury ary nanohitra ny fiadiana ny tompondaka tamin'ny hazakazaka mavesatra laharam-pirazanana tamin'ny alàlan'ny fanapahan-kevitra niraisan-kevitra. Raha ny ady kosa dia raharaha malina, Fury dia afaka nanilika an'i Klitschko tamin'ny dian-tongotra ambony, hetsika, ary famoahana poch avo kokoa.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) - Nanjakan'ny fahatezerana ny lalao nifanandrinana tamin'ireo mpifaninana britanika taminy, ady totohondry lavitra, mifamadika eo anelanelan'ny orthodoksa sy atsimo, ary manasazy ny fahavalony mandra-pijanon'ny zorony ny tolona aorian'izany 10 boribory iray ila.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) - Afa-tsy ny knockdown roa sy ny sasany mitsikera, Ny Fury dia nifehy ny ankamaroan'ny lalao. Nisoroka ny totohondrin'i Wilder izy ary nampidina kaontera mahomby, ny fanaovana an'i Wilder dia toa sahiran-tsaina sy tsy mahay mandanjalanja.

PENECALE hoavy
Samy mpihetsiketsika miavaka ireo mpiady roa ary ny fidiran'ny peratra tsirairay avy dia hataon'ny vahoaka marobe. Eo amin'ny vanin-tazo ny herinaratra amin'ny lakolosy fanokafana. Miaraka amin'ny mahazatra azy ireo, hisy kely kokoa ny fizotran'ny fihetseham-po noho ny fihaonany voalohany. Ho eo amin'ny rantsan-tongony i Fury handroso ary hiezaka i Wilder handany fotoana ny fandrosoany sy ny famelezana ny tany. Amin'ny faran'ny 1St manodidina, Hihomehy an'i Wilder ny fahatezerana ary hisy ny fifanakalozana teny.
Ny hetsika tsy miovaova ataon'ny Fury sy ny totohondry tokana dia hanelingelina an'i Wilder satria ny valin'ny totohondiny dia hahita rivotra foana. Ireto fihodinana manaraka ireto dia lalao mahaliana saka sy totozy miaraka amin'i Wilder kely kokoa amin'ny andraikitry ny saka, zava-poana manandrana mamorona an'i Wilder lehibe kokoa.
Wilder dia hahita fahombiazana amin'ny jabany ao amin'ny 6faha- ary 7faha- ny fihodinana sy ny tanana ankavanana manavotra dia hahatratra an'i Fury eo an-tampon'ny loha, mandondona azy amin'ny fandanjalanjana ny lamba. Hipoitra ny fahatezerana, wink eo an-jorony, ary miverina mihetsika indray. Ny fientanam-po dia hampihetsiketsika an'i Wilder ary hianjera amin'ny lamba mihintsy izy rehefa tsy nahita tanana ankavanana be loatra.
Miaraka amin'i Wilder izay toa sasatra amin'ny sombin-kafatra nataony tamin'ny fihodinana teo aloha, Hihodina any atsimo ny fahatezerana ary hidina tanana ankavanana marobe, avy eo mipoitra ivelan'ny isan'ireo totohondry rehetra.
Ny hetsiky ny Fury sy ny mpiasa ambony kokoa dia hitondra ny hetsika amin'ny alàlan'ny fihodinana fiadiana ny tompondaka, mitarika azy indray ho amin'ny fitarihana mazava ho any amin'ny fihodinana farany.
Ny fanapahan-kevitra amin'ity indray mitoraka ity dia hiray hevitra miaraka amin'i Dave Moretti sy i Glenn Feldman izay samy nahazo isa avokoa 115-112 ary Steve Weisfeld alokaloka akaiky kokoa 114-113, rehetra manohana ny "The Gypsy King" Tyson Fury.

From East LA to Team USA Flyweight boxer Anthony Herrera is living the dream
Colorado Springs, Am-pofoany. (Febroary 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
Amin'izao fotoana izao, aza, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Arzantina.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Mey 13-14, ao Paris, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” hoy izy nanamarika. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, ao anatin'izany ny, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., aryMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

Training Camp: “Everything here has been good. I’m ready to rock and get back in the ring. I’ll have no trouble making weight for this fight. My sparring partners are local guys, some pros, and other amateurs. I like helping up-and-coming fighters who want to turn pro. They have natural speed at 18, 19 taona, but their strength hasn’t fully developed, yet. They learn and I get good work. My No. 1 sparring partner, Limon, has had more than 100 amateur fights. His style is similar to Alamo’s. He’s tall and lengthy, but not as powerful as Alamo. He throws great jabs and boxes well, which will help me when I fight Alamo.
Yomar Alamo: “He fights off his back foot a lot. He likes to box and is a good counter-puncher.
He’s undefeated but who knows how he wants to fight? I like razzle-dazzle and I’ll quickly learn what I’m in for.”
Fighting in Alamo’s backyard: “I’m not concerned about that at all. My first fight with RJJ Boxing was in Las Vegas against a local fighter, Chuy Gutierrez, and I won that fight. I don’t mind fighting in my opponent’s backyard and I’m getting used to it. My last fight was in Reno against a California fighter, who lived a lot closer to Reno than I do in San Antonio. And I fought a local fighter in New Hampshire, when I had a bare-knuckle fight.”
How do you envision this fight going: “Alamo will go into the fight thinking it’s going to be a boxing match, almost like an exhibition starting the fight. But I’m going to go in strong, like a street fight, banging him around. I’ll catch him with some surprises, throwing hard blows. In the third or fourth round, I’ll start boxing more. Then it’s going to be too much for him, and I’ll take him out in the eighth or ninth round.”
Bout importance: “I think I’ll possibly get a world championship eliminator fight with an impressive victory. I’m a rare, old-fashioned boxer.”
Faminaniana: “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”
