Lewiston, Maine (Maggio 19, 2015) - Combattimenti New England (NEF), Numero uno di promozione lotta regionale dell'America, terrà la sua XVIII-arti marziali miste (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” su Sabato, Giugno 13, 2015 al Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. Proprio oggi, la promozione ha annunciato la carta piena lotta per l'evento.
In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA professionale campione leggero Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalGiovanni “First Class” Raggio (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, tuttavia, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Senza riguardo, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Giugno 13 in Lewiston.
NEF homegrown talent, e 2014 “Fighter of the Year,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “The Dog Junkyard” Ryan Cowette (2-2) in un incontro medi. Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.
In other professional bouts: Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “NEF XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Infrangibile 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; e Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Mitragliatrice” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.
“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Manganello “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) eRyan Glover (1-0).
