Lewiston, Maine (Ġunju 10, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” din is-Sibt lejl, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Recently, headliners Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8), l-NEF MMA Professjonali Lightweight Champion, u John “Ewwel Klassi” Ray(2-7) ssieħbu NEF ko-proprjetarju u matchmaker Matt Peterson fuq speċjali “Ras għal-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, fost suġġetti oħra.
The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “mewġa idejn.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington prinċipali sostna li huwa kien sempliċement sinjalar għal fannijiet tiegħu fil-folla li l-istiva ma kienet tagħmel ebda ħsara.
“I jista 'jgħidlek kif dak il-lejl ntemmet,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Bażikament, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, u kif I grabbed bicep xellug tiegħi u tax-xellug tiegħi kien għaddej wara kap tiegħu, l-ref waqqaf il-ġlieda… I kien étonné li hu kien sfruttat minħabba, onestament, Jien kont naf li kelli ħafna pressjoni fuq xedaq tiegħu… Jekk fil-fatt kien waving, li sucks għalih.”
“F'dik is-sitwazzjoni, Jiena speċifikament remember BICKFORD tħares lejn me, Jien jiffaċċjaw up, huwa għaddej għal għonq tiegħi u jien waving,” Said Boyington. “Kulħadd jibda roaring loud reali u I remember BICKFORD qal, "L-ebda Bruce, inti ma tista 'tgħid li "… Jekk inti taħseb li jien sottomissjoni jew jien fl-inkwiet jew ma tistax nifs, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inti ma tistax tgħid li,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Nara ħafna affarijiet differenti li John qal online, u ħafna affarijiet nies oħra qalu, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Qabel ma Boyington jċedu lura tiegħu, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tabilħaqq, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.
“Inevitabbilment, Naħseb John se kont qed knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “I do not think jien gonna jissottomettu lilu, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Naħseb jekk il-ref ma waqfitx fil-ħin, meta I kien fuq xedaq tiegħu ma driegħ tiegħi u I kien jilħaq wara l-għonq tiegħu,” Ray spekula, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Allura, I ma naħsibx li kieku stajt marret għat-tieni rawnd.”
Fil-jiem, ġimgħat u xhur wara l-ġlieda, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” kemm atleti mimsus fuq dak il-rematch tfisser għalihom, u dak li għandhom bżonn biex jipprova dan weekend li ġejjin.
“I biss ma tistax tmur fil hemm u taħbit John,” Said Boyington. “Anke partitarji tiegħu stess qed jistennew li… I ma tistax biss jmorru fil hemm fuq Ġunju 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Naf li, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, minħabba li l-driegħ l-ieħor lanqas ma huwa taħdem id-dritt issa… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”
“Fir-rigward Bruce irfinar me malajr, u jagħmilha faċli, u mhux verament inkwetanti dwar il-ġlieda wisq, I biss jsibuha turi diżrispett bħal ħafna affarijiet hu qal lili, familja tiegħi u l-ħbieb tiegħi,” replied Raio. “Kien hemm żminijiet wara l-aħħar ġlieda meta n-nies kienu feraħ me (fuq Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Allura, wara li għidt "Bruce u I ma humiex verament ħbieb jibqgħalu,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… imma meta n-nies diżrispett me simili hu għandu huwa diffiċli li bħall-Guy.”
