Lewiston, Maine (May 19, 2016) – Since long before the dawn of the internet, sports fans have debated the outcome of fantasy meetings between beloved teams and athletes. What would happen if Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali met in their respective prime? Could the ’96 Bulls beat the ’86 Lakers? How would the bats of the ’27 Yankees fare against the starting rotation of the ’98 Braves? In mixed-martial-arts (ММА), presumably because the sport is so young, fantasy matchups are usually separated by weight classes as opposed to time.
Such is the case with the professional middleweight bout recently signed by New England Fights (NEF) for the fight promotion’s Оны зургадугаар сар 18 үйл явдал, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” Lewiston-д. Жесси “Викинг” Эриксон (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) 185-фунт нь. It is a fight that fans of both popular athletes never imagined they would see, and now it is happening.
Jesse Erickson was unsuccessful in his attempt to capture the vacant NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Title last month at “NEF22.” The loss to Devin Powell (6-1) put a halt to Erickson’s three-fight win streak. The upcoming bout with Boutin offers not only a chance for redemption, but a chance for Erickson to fight without going through the rigors of a strenuous weight cut.
“Crowsneck is someone who always puts on a good show,” Саид Эриксон. “I’m excited for the challenge and look forward to the cage door being locked with us inside. I truly enjoy getting in that cage and this show I’ll be doing it without the misery of cutting weight. Энэ тэмцлийг битгий алдаарай!”
After losing two-in-a-row in the MMA cage and coming up with a draw in a pro boxing bout, Crowsneck Boutin scored a big victory last weekend over Ruben Redman (0-1) in Hyannis, Массачусетсийн. The win brought Boutin’s record back up to the .500 тэмдэг. Оны зургадугаар сард нд 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.
“The fight fever is aboard me,” Boutin гэж хэлсэн. “I’ll be ready to battle. Erickson is a bad ass, so I love this fight. From my perspective, it appears that our dark towers is one in the same.”
