Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, har'a tse ling dihlooho tse.
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 “letsoho le leqhubu.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington tsekisaneng hore o ne a feela ba a hoehla bo hae Fans a bongata hore tšoara o ne a sa ho etsa leha e le efe tšenyo e.
“Ke ka le bolella joang hore bosiu e ile ea fela,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ha e le hantle, 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, le ha ke ntse ke grabbed ka le letšehali bicep le ka le letšehali letsoho o ne a tla ka mor'a hlooho ea hae, le ref ile a khaotsa ho ntoeng ea ho loanela… Ke ne ke hloletsoe hore o ne a tapped hobane, ka botšepehi, Ke ne ke tseba hore ke ne ke e ngata hatella hae mohlahareng… Haeba a ha e le hantle o ile a tsoka, hore sucks bakeng sa hae.”
“A le boemong boo, Ke ho toba hopola Bickford ho sheba 'na, Ke tobana le fihlela, a etsahalang ka molaleng 'me ke tsoka,” re Boyington. “Mong le e mong qala purumang sebele phahameng le Ke sa hopola Bickford a re, 'Ha ho Bruce, u ka se ke ua re hore '… Haeba u nahana hore ke ho ikokobelletsa kapa ke le mathata kgotsa a ke ke a ho hema, you don’t tell the fighter, “U ka se ke ua re hore,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ke bona e ngata fapaneng lintho tse John a se boletseng online translations, le lintho tse ngata tseo batho ba bang ba o ile a re, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Pele ho Boyington ho fana ka ea hae khutlela, many felt he had been winning that first round. Ka 'Nete, 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.
“Joang kapa joang, Ke nahana hore John o ne a tla 'nile ka o ile a kokota tsoa,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ha ke nahane hore ke gonna gonna romela mo, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Ke nahana hore haeba ref aa ka a khaotsa ka nako eo, ha ke ne ke ka hae mohlahareng le ke forearm 'me ke ile fihla ka mor'a molaleng oa hae,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. E le, Ha ke nahane hore e ne e tla 'nile ka ile go ya bobedi ho pota.”
Matsatsing a, libeke le likhoeli ho latela loana, 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,” ka bobeli baatlelete ama ka seo katie ho bolela ho ba, le seo ba se hlokang ho paka ena tla mafelo-beke.
“Ke mpa feela ke ka se ke ua tsamaea ho na le le otla John,” re Boyington. “Esita le hae Fans ba lebella hore… Ke sitoa ho feela ea a ho na le ka June bo13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ke tseba seo, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, hobane tse ling letsoho la e sa esita le ho sebetsa hona joale… 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.”
“A mabapi le Bruce qete 'na ka potlako, le ho etsa ho le bonolo, le ke hlile ke sa ho tšoenyeha mabapi le go lwa le ho hongata haholo, Ke mpa feela ke ba fumana ho le ho hloka tlhompho e le mengata ea lintho a oa re ho 'na, lelapa la ka le metsoalle ea ka e,” replied Raio. “Ho ne ho linako tse ling ka mor'a hore ho qetela loana ha batho ba ne ba congratulating 'na (ho 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. E le, ka mor'a hore hore ke o ile a re 'Bruce' me ke ha e hlile hase metsoalle ea hlola,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… empa ha batho ba hlomphollang 'na joaloka o na le ho thata hore ke tšoane le monna.”
