路易斯頓, 緬因 (六月 10, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十八屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十八NEF: MADE IN AMERICA,” 這個星期六 夜晚, 六月 13, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. 最近, 頭條新聞 布魯斯 “漂亮男孩” Boyington (10-8), 在NEF MMA職業輕量級冠軍, 和 約翰· “甲級” 射線(2-7) 加入NEF共同所有者和媒人馬特·彼得森在一個特殊的 “頭對頭” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, 除其他議題.
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 “手一揮。” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington曾辯稱，他只是信令，以他的球迷在人群中的保持沒有做任何損害.
“我可以告訴你如何當晚結束,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “基本上, 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, 當我抓住我的左二頭肌和我的左手打算在腦後, 裁判叫停… 我很驚訝，他因竊聽, 老老實實, 我知道我有很多的壓力，他的下巴… 事實上，如果他揮手, ，吸他。”
“在這種情況下, 我記得特別比克福德看著我, 我面對, 他會為我的脖子，我揮舞著,” 說Boyington. “每個人都開始咆哮真正的響亮，我記得比克福德說, “沒有布魯斯, 你不能說'… 如果你認為我在提交或者我遇到麻煩或不能呼吸, you don’t tell the fighter, “你不能說,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… 我看到了很多不同的東西，約翰已經在網上說, 和很多東西別人已經說過, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
此前Boyington放棄他的背, many felt he had been winning that first round. 的確, 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.
“必將, 我認為約翰會已經被淘汰,” stated Boyington emphatically. “我不認為我會提交他, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“我想，如果裁判沒有停止的時候, 當我在他的下巴和我的前臂和我到達脖子後面,” 雷推測, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. 所以, 我不認為這會已經走了第二輪。”
在未來的日子, 幾週和幾個月後的戰鬥, 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 “第十八NEF,” 運動員都談到什麼複賽意味著他們, 他們需要什麼來證明本週末.
“我不能去那裡擊敗約翰·,” 說Boyington. “連自己的球迷都期待的… 我不能只是去那裡上 6月13日and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. 我知道，, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, 因為另一只手臂甚至沒有工作，現在… 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.”
“至於布魯斯迅速整理箱, 並使其易於, 並沒有真正擔心打太多, 我只是覺得它像不敬的很多東西他對我說：, 我的家人和我的朋友,” replied Raio. “還有，當人們向我祝賀最後的掙扎後次 (在Facebook上) 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. 所以, 之後，我說：“布魯斯和我是不是真的朋友了,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… 但是，當人們不尊重我，就像他很難喜歡的傢伙。”
