Lewiston, Maine (Juni 10, 2015) - New England mapambano (NEF), Namba moja kikanda kukuza Amerika ya kupambana, itafanya wake kumi na nane mchanganyiko wa martial-sanaa (MMA) tukio, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” Jumamosi hii usiku, Juni 13, 2015 katika Androscoggin Bank Colisee katika Lewiston, Maine. Hivi karibuni, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Mtaalamu Lightweight bingwa, na John “Hatari ya kwanza” Ray(2-7) alijiunga na NEF mmiliki mwenza na MatchMaker Mathayo Peterson juu maalum “Kichwa-kwa-kichwa” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, miongoni mwa mada nyingine.
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 “mkono wimbi.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ameshindana kwamba alikuwa tu dalili kwa mashabiki wake katika umati wa watu kwamba umiliki si kufanya madhara yoyote.
“Siwezi kukuambia jinsi usiku huo kumalizika,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Kimsingi, 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, na kama mimi grabbed bicep wangu wa kushoto na mkono wangu wa kushoto alikuwa anaenda nyuma ya kichwa chake, ref kusimamishwa mapambano… Mimi nilikuwa inafanyika kwamba alikuwa tapped kwa sababu, uaminifu, Nilijua kwamba mimi alikuwa na mengi ya shinikizo juu ya taya yake… Kama kwa kweli alikuwa akipunga, kwamba sucks kwa ajili yake.”
“Katika hali hiyo, Mimi hasa kukumbuka Bickford kuangalia saa yangu, Nina uso hadi, yeye kwenda kwa shingo yangu na mimi nina akipunga,” Alisema Boyington. “Kila mtu kuanza kunguruma halisi kubwa na Nakumbuka Bickford akisema, 'Hakuna Bruce, huwezi kusema kwamba '… Kama unafikiri kwamba mimi nina kuwasilisha au mimi niko katika shida au hawezi kupumua, you don’t tell the fighter, “Huwezi kusema kwamba,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mimi naona mambo mengi tofauti kwamba John amesema online, na mambo mengi watu wengine wamesema, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Kabla ya Boyington kuacha nyuma yake, many felt he had been winning that first round. Hakika, 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.
“Inevitably, Nadhani Yohane alijaribu tumekuwa yameng'olewa,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Sidhani kama mimi nina gonna kuwasilisha yake, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Nadhani kama ref hawakuacha wakati, nilipokuwa kwenye taya yake kwa forearm yangu na nilikuwa kufikia nyuma ya shingo yake,” Ray uvumi, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Hivyo, Sidhani kama ingekuwa tumeenda kwa mzunguko wa pili.”
Katika siku, wiki na miezi zifuatazo mapambano, 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,” wote wanariadha kuguswa juu ya kile rematch ina maana gani kwao, na wanayo haja ya kuthibitisha mwishoni mwa wiki hii ijayo.
“Mimi tu hawezi kwenda huko na kuwapiga John,” Alisema Boyington. “Hata mashabiki wake mwenyewe ni kutarajia kwamba… Siwezi tu kwenda huko kwenye Juni 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Najua kwamba, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, kwa sababu mkono mwingine hata kufanya kazi hivi sasa… 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.”
“Kuhusu Bruce kumaliza mimi haraka, na kufanya kuwa rahisi, na si kweli wasiwasi kuhusu mapambano sana, I just kuona kuwa ni disrespectful kama mambo mengi yeye akaniambia, familia yangu na marafiki zangu,” replied Raio. “Kulikuwa na nyakati baada ya kupambana iliyopita wakati watu walikuwa kumpongeza mimi (juu ya 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. Hivyo, baada ya kuwa nilisema 'Bruce na mimi ni kweli si marafiki tena,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… lakini wakati watu kutoheshimu mimi kama ana ni vigumu kama guy.”
