Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Orono, Maine (Februari 25, 2020) - New England Fights (NEF) zal haar volgende mixed-martial-arts presenteren (MMA) evenement in het Collins Centrum voor de Kunsten aan de Universiteit van het vlaggenschip van Orono campus van Maine. De gebeurtenis, getiteld “NEF 43: Rampage,”Zal plaatsvinden op zaterdag, April 18, 2020, met een bel-tijd van 7 pm EDT. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the card.Brandon "BAMF" Maillet-Fevens(3-1) zal worden geconfronteerd metNathaniel Grimard(1-0) bij een gevecht gewicht van 145 pond.
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, waar hij traint onder UFC-veteraan en voormalig 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," zei 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 vs. Fury the rematch In-Depth Preview and Analysis
Door: Tony Penecale
The Heavyweight Championship has always been the most noteworthy prize in the sport. Over the last few years, the interest in the fistic giants has dwindled. That has changed with the exciting power of Deontay Wilder and the charismatic showmanship of Tyson Fury.
With their first encounter ending in a controversial draw, they find themselves sharing the ring again. Both men with undefeated records and only a single draw (against each other) on their ledger.
The big men are taking center stage for the undisputed prize. “The Bronze Bomber” and “The Gypsy King”…. Who will reign supreme?

STIJL
Wilder:
A wild-swinging, often-sloppy fighter with long arms and fight-changing power in both fists, Wilder likes to set the range with his lead hand and follow it with a variety of power punches. He carries his power late into his fights and is capable of scoring a knockout at any time.
Woede:
A confident, self-assured, and sometimes cocky fighter, Fury has nimble moves and quickness for such a large fighter. He combines good footwork with upper-body movement and ability to box either orthodox or southpaw, keeping opponents off-balance and setting up his own offensive attack.
THEIR FIRST BOUT
Wilder-Fury I: Fury opened the bout with effective movement, keeping Wilder off balance and unable to land anything significant. Wilder was able to land several hard jabs in the 4th ronde, trickling blood from Fury’s nose. Fury spent time in the mid rounds as a southpaw and found success. Wilder scored a knockdown in the 9th round but his follow-up attack left him fatigued, allowed Fury to regain the momentum through the 11th round. The memorable 12th round saw Wilder break through and land a right hand and left hook combination. Fury fell hard to the canvas, flat on his back. He amazingly rose at the count of 9 and was outlanding Wilder as the final round concluded. Alejandro Rochin scored 115-111 Wilder, Robert Tapper scored 114-112 Woede, and Phil Edwards scored 113-113.
STERKE
Wilder:
* Power – The detonation at the end of Wilder’s fists, primarily is right hand, is of nuclear proportions. While his left hand carries substantial pop in it, it is Wilder’s right hand that is seen as maybe the most devastating punch in boxing today. He can end fights by landing his right hand straight down the middle, arcing it over the top, or splitting the guard as an uppercut.
* Conditioning – Early in his career, when he was ending all of his fights within a few rounds, there were question marks if Wilder would fade in the later rounds. He has proven that he can fight equally as hard in the late rounds and capable of a knockout until the final bell.
* Athleticism – Wilder combines a rare blend of size, snelheid, vermogen, and athletic ability where is easy to imagine him being dominant in any type of athletic environment.
Woede:
* Movement – For a man with the size and physique that resembles a silverback, Fury moves with the grace and agility of a ballet dancer. He is light on his feet and possesses shifty upperbody movement that is uncanny for someone so large.
* Confidence – Fury is supremely confident in himself and believes in his ability. He shows little or no fear in the ring. His self-assured charismatic nature gives him a psychological advantage.
* Resilient – Whether it was climbing off the canvas against Wilder, overcoming a horrific cut against Wallin, or battling against depression and substance abuse, Fury has shown a toughness and resiliency that are to be admired.
ZWAK
Wilder:
* Sloppy – Wilder shows so much faith in his power that he is frequently wild and sloppy with his punches and footwork. He often times looks very amateurish in the ring.
* Trouble With Boxers – Fighters who use good movement and boxing ability trouble Wilder. He struggles setting his feet and is often a step behind. He was trailing Luis Ortiz in both fights and was outclassed for most of his first fight with Fury.
* Chin – The few times that Wilder was seriously chin-checked, he showed some flaws in his durability. Ortiz had him badly hurt and close to a knockout loss.
Woede:
* Distractions – Fury is loving his new-found fame and talking WWE and MMA. He split with his trainer Ben Davidson and is calling his own shots. Fury also has spells in the ring where he loses focus and he has found himself on the canvas more than once during a lapse in concentration.
* Personal Life – It is well-documented Fury’s past personal demons with depression and substance abuse, along with a weight gain to over 400 lbs. While his triumphs over those demons is admirable, the lasting physical effects cannot be denied.
* Skin– It’s only been five months since Fury suffered a terrible gash over his right eye against Otto Wallin, requiring 47 stitches. While doctors have deemed the cut sufficiently healed, his tender skin could reopen at the most inopportune time.
VORIGE BOUT
Wilder: (11/23/19) – Wilder again scored a come-from-behind knockout against Luis Oritz. After being outboxed for the majority of the first six rounds, Wilder set his range against a tiring Ortiz and landed a pulverizing right hand which resulted in a one-punch knockout.
Woede:
(9/14/19) – Fury survived a bloody contest with the undefeated but unknown Otto Wallin. Fury suffered a cut over his right eye in the 3rd round and the blood clearly affected his vision. Despite the impairment, Fury still controlled the action and hurt Wallin several times en route to a decision victory.
3 BESTE PRESTATIES
Wilder:
* Arthur Pin (1/16/16) – After falling behind early, Wilder took over in the 4th round and started to settle down and control the action. A single right hand in the 9th round sent Szpilka down and unconscious, de 2016 Knock-out van het Jaar.
* Gold Cup (1/17/15) – Wilder answered questions about his stamina by going the full 12 rounds for the first time in his career and capturing the WBC title in the process. Wilder utilized his long jab and kept Stiverne at bay with his underrated skillset.
* Luis Ortiz (3/3/18) – Wilder survived some scary moments against the oft-avoided Cuban veteran before prevailing by 10th round knockout. Wilder was troubled by Ortiz’s boxing skills early before knocking him down in the 5th round. An Ortiz rally in the 7th had Wilder seriously hurt but Wilder was able to regroup and score the knockout a few rounds later.
Woede:
* Wladimir Klitschko (11/25/15) – Fury went into Klitschko’s backyard and wrested the unified and lineal heavyweight championships via unanimous decision. While the bout was a cautious affair, Fury was able to outwork Klitschko with superior footwork, beweging, and a higher punch output.
* Derek Chisora (11/29/14) – Fury dominated the rematch with his British rival, boxing from a distance, switching between orthodox and southpaw, and punishing his adversary until the corner stopped the fight after 10 one-sided rounds.
* Deontay Wilder (12/1/18) – With the exception of two knockdowns and some curious judging, Fury was in control for most of the bout. He avoided Wilder’s punches and landed effective counters, making Wilder looked confused and off-balance in the process.
Sleutel tot overwinning
Wilder:
* Utilize his jab and negate Fury’s awkward style
* Keep his power punches short and compact
* Don’t get mesmerized by Fury’s upperbody movement
Woede:
* Change the pace and keep Wilder guessing
* Use lateral movement to keep Wilder from setting his feet
* Do not get cocky against the ropes
VRAGEN
Wilder:
* Can Wilder handle Fury’s unorthodox movement?
* Will Wilder employ a better gameplan?
* Will Wilder become frustrated?
Woede:
* Will Fury try too hard for the knockout?
* Is Fury totally focused on boxing?
* Is his cut eye susceptible to reinjury?
PENECALE VOORSPELLING
Both combatants are exceptional showmen and their respective ring entrances will have the crowd abuzz. The electricity will be at a fever pitch at the opening bell. With their familiarity, there will be less of a feeling out process than their first encounter. Fury will be on his toes moving forward and Wilder will try to time his advances and land counter punches. At the end of the 1st ronde, Fury will taunt Wilder and there will be an exchange of words.
Fury’s constant movement and single punches will trouble Wilder as his counter punches will find mostly empty air. The following rounds will be an exciting game of cat and mouse with the smaller Wilder in the role of the cat, futility trying to corner the larger Wilder.
Wilder will find success with his jab in the 6th en 7th rounds and a looping right hand will catch Fury on top of the head, knocking him off balance to the canvas. Fury will rise, wink at his corner, and come bouncing back into action. The excitement will have Wilder swinging wildly and falling to the canvas himself after missing overexaggerated right hand.
With Wilder seemingly arm-weary from his punch output the previous round, Fury will turn southpaw and land several hard right hands, then bounce out of range of any counter punches.
Fury’s movement and higher workrate will carry the action through the championship rounds, leading him again to an apparent lead going into the final round.
The decision this time will be unanimous with Dave Moretti and Glenn Feldman both scoring 115-112 and Steve Weisfeld a shade closer at 114-113, all in favor of “The Gypsy King” Tyson Fury.

Van East LA tot Team USA Vlieggewicht bokser Anthony Herrera leeft de droom
COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Februari 20, 2020) - Van de gemene straten van East Los Angeles tot een ligplaats op Team USA is een opmerkelijke prestatie voor het 19-jarige vlieggewichtAnthony Herrera, die onlangs werd geselecteerd om lid te zijn van de 2020 Olympische Spelen Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Sinds ik heel jong was,”Herrera sprak over opgroeien in East LA, “Mijn ouders hielden me altijd aan sport. Zo bezig zijn met sport was eigenlijk een afleiding van wat er in de stad gebeurde. Zo, Ik heb nooit tijd gehad om in de problemen te komen en mijn ouders hielden me weg van een slechte levensstijl. Eens begon ik met boksen, Ik nam het serieus, gefocust blijven en doelen stellen. Ik was toen een beetje ouder en of ik al dan niet wilde boksen of er carrière van wilde maken, het was allemaal aan mij, en ik had altijd de volledige steun van mijn ouders. Boksen is een groot deel van mijn leven geweest. Ik kijk altijd uit naar de volgende training of alles wat met boksen te maken heeft. Het maakt op dit moment deel uit van mijn imago. "
Voor nu, hoewel, Herrera bereidt zich met zijn teamgenoten voor op de Olympische Spelen van de Verenigde Staten en het Paralympische Trainingscentrum in Colorado Springs voor het Amerikaanse kwalificatietoernooi, 26 maart - april 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentinië.
Herrera zal zich kwalificeren om zijn land te vertegenwoordigen op de Olympische Spelen door in Buenos Aires in de top vijf te eindigen, of de eerste zes plaatsers bij de World Qualifier, Mei 13-14, in Parijs, Frankrijk.
“Ik gedijt goed onder druk,'Zei Herrera. "Ik laat me mentaal niet zo zwaar worden dat het een negatieve invloed heeft op mijn prestaties. Het zorgt ervoor dat ik beter presteer als ik in de ring sta. Ik heb mijn hele bokscarrière onder druk gestaan. Het heeft me niet alleen een betere vechter gemaakt in bepaalde situaties die intimiderend zijn, maar ook een sterker persoon in het algemeen. Naar Argentinië gaan is niet anders, de zenuwen zijn er nog, maar dat geldt ook voor mijn vastberadenheid om naar Tokio te gaan. "
Een 2018 Nationale PAL en 2019 Western Elite Qualifier-kampioen, Herrera eindigde onlangs als tweede op de 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials en derde op de 2020 Strandja-toernooi in Bulgarije.
"De prestatie van het amateur-boksen waar ik het meest trots op ben, is dat ik van het kwalificatieteam van de Verenigde Staten een vlieggewicht maakte," hij schreef op. "Het was moeilijk om hier te komen en wetende dat ik de obstakels heb overwonnen die ik tegenkwam tijdens deze lange reis naar waar ik nu ben, maakt me erg blij. Ik kan echt zeggen dat ik het verdiend heb.
“Mijn eerste internationale bokswedstrijd (Strandja) was een beetje anders dan ik gewend ben. De uitrusting die we gebruikten en die we vochten zonder hoofddeksels zorgden voor meer risico tijdens het vechten, maar ik had plezier in mijn eerste internationale gevecht. Ik heb al het gevoel voor die omgeving en voel me nu comfortabeler.
“Ik geniet echt van trainen in Colorado Springs met mijn teamgenoten, omdat het een geweldige ervaring is die alleen de beste atleten krijgen. Ik hou ook van thuis trainen, maar er zijn minder afleidingen in Colorado Springs. Ik kan me voor 100 procent concentreren op mijn vak en meer reizen. "
Herrera, die zijn stijl omschrijft als een "zwermer", druk uitoefenen en zijn tegenstander afbreken, leeft de droom.
“Vechten op de Olympische Spelen was altijd groot voor mij, maar een gouden medaille krijgen is mijn droom," hij voegde toe. "Ik heb het altijd gewild omdat niemand dat ooit van me kan afnemen, en het verhaal en het werk dat achter een gouden medaille wordt gelegd, is van onschatbare waarde. Naar mijn mening is het moeilijker dan het winnen van een wereldtitel in het professionele boksen. Zo dicht bij de Olympische Spelen zijn, Ik ben trots op mezelf, maar niet tevreden. Ik weet dat ik nog werk te doen heb en ik doe stap voor stap. De volgende stap voor mij is om me te kwalificeren voor de Olympische Spelen bij de Olympische kwalificatie. "
Herrera schrijft een deel van zijn succes toe aan het leren van voormalige en hedendaagse boksers, het implementeren van alle technieken die ze gebruiken in zijn stijl, inclusief, bijvoorbeeld, het voetenwerk en hoofdbeweging vanJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., enMike Tyson’S opstellingen van lichaam tot hoofd.
Tokyo is ver verwijderd van East LA voor Anthony Herrera.

Kendo “Tremendo” Castaneda Training Camp Notes
Februari. 28th in Florida showdown vs. ongeslagen
NABO champion Yomar “The Magic” Alamo
LAS VEGAS (Februari 20, 2020) – Undefeated super lightweightKendo "Enorme" Castaneda (17-0, 8 KO) has been in training camp since the beginning of this year in Boxers & Brawlers gym in his San Antonio hometown to prepare for his February 28th fight against North American Boxing Organization (BUURMAN) kampioenYomar “The Magic” Alamo (17-0-1, 12 KO) airing live on Boxeo Telemundo, vanaf 11:30 p.m. EN / 8:30 p.m. PT, from Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida.
Alamo vs. Castaneda is co-promoted by All-Star Boxing, which promotes Alamo and the event, and Castaneda’s promoter, Roy Jones Jr. (RJJ) Boksen Promotions.
“This is the biggest fight of Kendo’s career to date,” CEO & Co-FounderKeith Veltre said. “He is the type fighter who doesn’t back down from anyone and knows what it takes to get the win. Kendo trains hard and we are fully confident that he will come home with the win.”
The 26-year-old Castaneda, die is gerangschikt nr. 15 door de World Boxing Organization (WBO), will take on WBO No. 8-rated Alamo, the defending NABO super lightweight champion, in the 10-round main event.
Castaneda captured the vacant North American Boxing Association (Ook) crown a year ago, taking a 10-round decision from previously undefeatedGilbert Venegas, Jr.(10-0), and followed that with an impressive 10-round unanimous decision over Dominican veteranEudy Berbardo (24-3).
Last October in Reno, Nevada, Castaneda stoppedStan Martyniouk (20-3) in the sixth round, after which he was installed by the World Boxing Organization as its No. 15 rated super lightweight in the world.
WBO No. 8 ranked Alamo, fighting out of Puerto Rico, is coming off the lone blemish on either fighter’s pro record, a draw withAntonio Moran (24-4-1).
Alamo, 24, is the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World and FECARBOX super lightweight champion, who has made three successful NABO title defenses.
Training Camp Notes
(quotes from Kendo Castaneda)
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 jaar oud, 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.”
Voorspelling: “The referee will be announcing, ‘And the new NABO champion…..’”
