路易斯頓, 緬因 (六月 13, 2016) – Combat sports gave Mike Bezanson (1-0) direction. They also helped him cultivate the relationship with his father that he always coveted but could never seem to grasp.
現在, on the eve of Father’s Day, less than a week past the four-year anniversary of his dad’s untimely death, Bezanson is poised to take another step in the career that was their shared dream.
Bezanson, 21, 蘭開斯特, N.H., returns to the New England Fights hexagon to take on 肖恩·邦 (1-1) of Auburn, 緬因, in a welterweight bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.” Their amateur bout is one of the many attractions on the星期六, 六月 18 card at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.
“I think this fight is going to be good for me, because I’ll be able to show my skills against an opponent with more in-cage experience than I have,” Bezanson said. “也, the fact that 六月 18 is the day before Father’s Day makes this a sentimental and emotional fight for me.”
The encore comes almost a year to the day after Bezanson stopped Jeff Dustin (0-1) by technical knockout via strikes in his mixed martial arts debut on June 13, 2015. Bang has split his first two verdicts in the NEF cage.
Bezanson’s showboating, stick-and-move style drew mixed reviews from the large crowd that witnessed his rookie effort. Some booed the relative lack of action, perhaps suspecting that Bezanson was toying with an overmatched opponent.
It was all part of his plan to relish the moment and take advantage of the opportunity.
“Truthfully we had a game plan to get experience,” Bezanson said. “If I have any thoughts of going pro, I need to get as much experience as I can. If you go in there and knock a guy out in 10 秒, don’t get me wrong, you got a knockout and that’s great, but you’re not learning what it takes to get comfortable on the other side of that 10 秒. You don’t know how much energy you’re going to need.”
Bezanson never lacked energy, or personality, from childhood. He describes himself as a young man who never got into any serious trouble, and never experimented with drugs or other disorderly conduct, but one who freely challenged authority.
He gravitated to the boxing ring as a freshman in high school. It gave him direction. It also provided a foundation for the on-again, off-again relationship with his father, 傑米.
“Before I took up boxing, my dad wasn’t really involved much in my life. He would come and go, 你知道, for personal reasons,” Bezanson said. “When I started boxing, we got really close. Boxing and racing were his things. He would tell anybody and everybody that I was boxing and how proud he was, and that meant a lot to me.”
Jamie Bezanson never had the chance to watch his son develop as a fighter. 六月 15, 2012, during annual “Bike Week” in Laconia, his motorcycle crossed the center line and struck another vehicle.
The elder Bezanson succumbed to his injuries. 他是 37.
“I lost it for a while. I stopped boxing. 精神上, I was just in a very emotional place,” Bezanson said. “Then right next to my house, Kaze Dojo opened up. 我說, ‘That’s something I could do.’”
Bezanson began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Greg Williams. He proved himself a natural talent, winning the gold medal in his debut at the Vermont Open.
Then came the natural progression to MMA, where his stand-up skills proved too difficult for Dustin to defend. Bezanson commanded the cage with the poise and surgical precision of a veteran.
“I’m a pretty confident guy all around. I really wasn’t that nervous. I figure why be scared if you’re prepared and you’ve put in all that training?“他說,. “Ninety percent of fights are lost before you even get into the cage. If you let the emotions get to you, you’re not going to perform to the best of your ability.”
Bezanson suffered a catastrophic knee injury in training shortly thereafter. He has spent most of the past year recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and meniscus.
Once he returned to the gym, Bezanson spent much of his time focused on his evolving ground game. It should be tested royally by Bang, a former high school wrestler from a renowned regional fighting family.
“Striking is definitely one of my strengths. I’m a lanky dude, and I try to use that to my full advantage,” Bezanson said. “But I’ve worked really hard on my ground game in training. I didn’t really get a chance to show it in my first fight, but I know I will this time.”
Bezanson sees his second foray into the cage as the true beginning of what he hopes will be a prolific career.
In addition to the many fans who will make the four-hour round trip from the North Country to watch him, Bezanson knows he will have one special set of eyes in his corner.
“Boxing taught me a lot of discipline. MMA is the same thing. People can use it however they want, but that’s what it does for me,“他說,. “It’s something I like to do and something that I know makes my father proud all at the same time.”
開盤上 六月 18 被設定為 7 P.M. The current docket includes five pro boxing fights, three pro MMA bouts and eight amateur MMA skirmishes. Tickets for “NEF 24: Promised Land” start at $25 和可在www.TheColisee.com 或致電在Colisée酒店票房 207.783.2009, extension 525.

Quote: “
The wait in the dressing room before a professional boxing match -that last hour- could be enough to strip a man who never boxed before of whatever pride, desire and heart he THOUGHT he had” –冰人約翰·斯卡利, 四月 2002
“Boxing is a tight-knit fraternity. Everybody knows everybody. But a line in the resin will forever be drawn separating those who step into the square ring and those who DON’T. Many, many people make money on a fight, but when the bell sounds, only two people answer it.” – Randy Smith, 二月 2003, Journal Inquirer (曼徹斯特, 康涅狄格州) Newspaper
路易斯頓, 緬因 (六月 7, 2016) – In an international boxing match-up, 愛爾蘭的不敗 Steve Collins, JR. (7-0-1, 3 科斯) will face his stiffest test yet as a pro when he takes on Mexico’s Jose Humberto Corral (19-21, 12 科斯) in a six-round cruiserweight fight on 六月 18, 2016 at The Androscoggin Bank Colisée. The bout will take place as part of New England Fights’ (NEF) 下一個事件 “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.”
柯林斯, 小, the son of former world champion and Irish boxing legend “The Celtic Warrior” Steve Collins (36-3, 21 科斯), will be fighting in the United States for the third consecutive time after having each of his first six fights in Ireland and Great Britain.
“I’m happy to be back over in the States fighting,” 柯林斯說, JR. “The crowd and the fans have really seemed to enjoy my fighting and style that I bring to the boxing world. I’ve been training hard at the Celtic Warriors Gym here in Ireland, and I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge to use in the ring. My next opponent has got a lot of fights under his belt, but I’m looking forward to giving him another loss.”
Jose Humberto Corral is a former amateur standout on the Mexican national team who has made a career as a pro as a journeyman giving solid tests to future world champions like Peter “兒童巧克力” Quillin and regional prospects like Chris Traietti, Vinnie Carita and Paul Gonsalves.
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight Steve Collins in Maine,” said Corral recently through a translator. “Sure he’s an undefeated prospect and son of a former world champion, but I’ve got way more ring experience, and you can’t teach that. If I had a peso for every time I got beat up by the son of a former world champion, I would have zero pesos. I look forward to showcasing my skills in the same building Muhammad Ali fought in and leaving with all the American boxing fans looking forward to me coming back.”
Collins Jr. is promoted by Murphy’s Boxing USA, a boxing organization headed by Ken Casey of the popular rock band The Dropkick Murphys who are well known for hit songs like “I’m Shipping up to Boston,” “The State of Massachusetts” 和 “Skinhead on the MBTA.”
“It’s wonderful to be able to have Steve Jr. here so often,” said Ken Casey when reached for comment from Cork, Ireland during the band’s latest European tour. “This will be his third fight here in the States in less than a year, and we are all excited to see where it goes from there. He’s proven that he can step out of his father’s shadow and legacy, and make a career and name for himself. It’s going to be interesting to see where he ends up in another year from now, but we’re all excited to be part of his journey, and seeing what Steve Jr. can do.”

路易斯頓, 緬因 (六月 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, 六月 18, 2016. The wildly popular fight promotion will once again give fans a full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing action.
In the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card, 布蘭登 “大砲” 貝瑞 (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger 詹姆斯 “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1). The two fought to a draw on the judges’ scorecards this past April in Lewiston. They agreed to rematch with Berry’s title on the line. 這次, 然而, there will be an odd number of rounds (seven to be exact) to make the chances of another draw very slim.
Also on the boxing portion of the card, former USA New England Middleweight Champion 羅素 “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour (13-2) 和 卡西 “The Buzzsaw” Kramlich (4-0-1) from the Portland Boxing Club in Portland, Maine will both make their respective NEF Boxing debuts.
The professional MMA portion of the card will see 傑西 “海盜” 埃里克森 (6-5) return to the cage after his third unsuccessful attempt at capturing the lightweight title this past April. Erickson will have his work cut out for him in the form of the always tough Amos Collins (4-5) at a catchweight of 161-pounds.
Erickson’s teammate, 馬特 “肯娃娃” 丹寧 (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) 在輕量級回合.
The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a flyweight title rematch as 瑞恩·伯吉斯 (2-0) defends against the former champion, and the athlete he took the title from, 達斯汀Veinott (4-4). Veinott’s loss to Burgess last fall via split decision put a stop to his four-fight win streak.
Also on the amateur card will be 46 歲 博士. 史蒂夫爆炸, SR. (1-1), a bariatric surgeon from Auburn, 緬因. In an unplanned homage to Father’s Day, he will be joined on the fight card by his sons 史蒂夫爆炸, JR. (3-5),肖恩·邦 (1-1), Skyler Bang (0-0) and foster son Conner Murphy (1-0).

路易斯頓, 緬因 (五月 31, 2016) – The Androscoggin Bank Colisée has a storied history of professional boxing inside the arena’s four walls. 上 六月 18, 羅素 “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, JR. (13-2, 6 科斯) will add the next chapter to that story when he enters the New England Fights (NEF) ring for the first time. 在 “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” Lamour will make his NEF debut in a middleweight bout against Mexican veteran 羅伯托 “舊” 巴倫蘇埃拉 (69-71-2, 56 科斯).
“Definitely excited to be making my NEF debut,” said Lamour. “NEF does a lot of shows here in Maine, and from what I hear it’s always a packed show. So I’m looking forward being on this card. I am excited about fighting at the Colisée ’cause I can then say that I fought in the same building that Muhammad Ali fought in and also that it’s right here at home in Maine. Fighting here at home again is always a great feeling, especially when you’re fighting in front of the people that support you the most. Can’t ask for anything better than that when fighting here in your backyard.”
布魯克林本地人, 紐約, Lamour entered the Portland Boxing Club shortly after graduating from Deering High School in Portland, 緬因. He had a stellar amateur boxing career, finishing with a record of 79-16. Among his numerous amateur accomplishments, Lamour was a five-time New England regional Golden Gloves champion. He competed in the semi-pro World Series of Boxing (WSB) where he was the number-one ranked middleweight in the Americas.
Lamour’s success carried over to the professional ranks where he won his first 11 結束. Over the course of that impressive run, Lamour would capture the vacant USA New England Middleweight Title with a TKO victory over Laatekwei Hammond (21-6) in Lamour’s hometown of Portland, 緬因. Lamour has competed on ESPN’s 星期五 夜戰鬥 before a national audience. 上個月, he scored a TKO win over Borngod Washington (3-17) in Salem, 新罕布什爾. Lamour hopes to make it two in a row with a win over Valenzuela on 六月 18.
“He is a journeymen,” Lamour said of his upcoming opponent. “He’s been fighting for a while and has seen many different styles, but to me he’s just someone else that’s in my pathway that I have to beat to get to where I want to be, so I have to get him out of my way.”
Roberto Valenzuela is no stranger to Maine fight fans. He travelled from his home in Sonora, Mexico to Lewiston, Maine last fall to battle Brandon “大砲” 貝瑞 (11-1-1). Valenzuela would lose the bout via unanimous decision, but he impressed all in attendance with his gritty performance, roughing up Berry and cutting him above the eye in the process. Valenzuela has faced the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (31-4, 24 科斯) 和史蒂夫·福布斯 (35-14, 11 科斯) 而目前的世界冠軍查希爾·拉希姆 (35-3, 21 科斯). He held the Mexican Pacific Coast Super Featherweight Title from 2003 到 2007.
“I am very excited to come back to Maine and fight again,” 巴倫蘇埃拉說,通過翻譯. “I love New England, and I’ve fought in Maine, 馬薩諸塞州, Vermont and Rhode Island during the course of my career. I’ve also worked corners in Connecticut and been pulled over for speeding in New Hampshire, so that must count for something. The last time I was in Maine, I busted open Brandon Berry’s eye and waged a bloody war. I’m ready to do the same with Russell Lamour. I hope he’s ready too.”

路易斯頓, 緬因 (五月 30, 2016) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) presents “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston on 六月 18, 2016. 那天晚上, two military veterans will be featured in professional mixed-martial-arts (MMA) 結束. 話筒 “小鬍子” 漢森 (4-4) will compete in a heavyweight bout while CJ壺 (1-0) will see action in the welterweight division.
Mike Hansen won two state wrestling championships competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) in Rumford, 緬因. Shortly after graduation, Hansen began training in MMA and made his debut in the sport in 2005. He would, 然而, put his MMA career on the backburner for the next decade to enlist and serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. After retiring from the Army, Hansen returned to Maine and opened Berserkers MMA in Rumford, where he trains other MVHS alum to compete in the NEF cage. 上六月 18, Hansen will face Robert Laroski (1-1).
“I hope he’s been training, ’cause I’ve been active starting this year,” said Hansen. “I’m looking for a win coming off my last fight. I will find his weaknesses and exploit them. I’m looking for the finish, and it won’t take long. Just over 51 幾年前, (穆罕默德) Ali got the first round, first minute stoppage over (桑尼) Liston right at the Colisee. My fight will end in similar fashion, under the same roof.”
CJ Ewer is a proud member of the United States Air Force security forces. When he is not overseas serving his country, Ewer can be found back home in the Bangor, Maine area training at Young’s MMA. After a successful amateur career, he submitted Zenon Herrera in his pro debut earlier this year. 上 六月 18, Ewer will take on “The Fresh Prince” Phil Rowe (1-2) from Florida.
