Lewiston, Maine (Novemba 5, 2015) - New England mapambano (NEF), Namba moja kikanda kukuza Amerika ya kupambana, kushikilia tukio yake ya pili, “NEF XX: HISTORIA YA VURUGU” juu ya Jumamosi, Novemba 21, 2015 katika Androscoggin Benki Colisée katika Lewiston, Maine. Tukio hilo kipengele kwanza kwa Maine – mchanganyiko martial-sanaa (MMA) kikohozi na mtaalamu ndondi vipindi vya juu ya tukio moja kwa MMA ngome na pete ya ndondi kuanzisha ubavu kwa upande. In a featured lightweight professional boxing match, Josh Parker (0-1) ina saini kwa uso Elias “Hatari Mouse” Leland (0-0) katika mashindano ya nne mzima.
Wakati bout itakuwa Parker ya kwanza mechi ya ndondi na NEF, he is no stranger to longtime fans of the promotion. Parker was a regular on NEF MMA cards during the early days of the company. He put together a record of 4-8 as a professional MMA competitor over the course of five years. Parker feels that he has found his true home not in the MMA cage, lakini katika pete ya ndondi.
“Boxing hafai bora kwa ajili yangu kwa sababu nimekuwa daima alipenda sehemu Standup ya MMA,” alibainisha Parker. “Nilipokuwa inayotolewa Brandon Berry (9-1) kupambana na kuanza kuelekeza nguvu katika hilo pekee, Nilijua nilikuwa nimepata wito wangu kweli. Mimi kuacha kazi yangu, kuanza kujenga kupambana na timu, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Ningependa kupambana kila baada ya miezi michache kama inawezekana.”
Kama ilivyoelezwa, Parker alianza kazi yake ya ndondi katika spring ya 2014 wakati yeye kukubalika bout na Brandon Berry katika North Anson, Maine. Parker held his own in the bout, eventually dropping a four-round decision. Fans have speculated that there would be a rematch at some point down the road between the two.
“Unajua, watu daima kuuliza kwamba, lakini mimi kwa kweli hawajali mapigano Brandon tena,” Alisema Parker. “Wewe kuangalia mapambano na kuniambia jinsi majaji alikuja na alama walivyofanya. That fight was on five weeks of boxing training. Now I’ve had a year and a half. If he’s standing in the path on the way to the top then so be it, lakini siyo kitu ambacho mimi nina mawazo kuhusu.”
Je, ni juu ya akili Parker ni mapambano timu yake – Ruthless MMA & Boxing. Opened in 2014 na makao nje ya Benton, Maine, Ruthless is one of the standout new teams emerging on the Maine fight scene consisting of scrappy young athletes. In founding the team, Parker ni wazi kabisa kuwa yeye ni nia tu katika mafunzo wale ambao ni kubwa kuhusu mashindano kama wapiganaji.
“Ruthless is different because I’m not in it for the money. I don’t take people who are just trying to get in shape or learn about MMA or boxing. We don’t do ‘classes.’ We fight, kila siku. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, sisi ni kuangalia kwa kumaliza.”
Kwa bahati mbaya kwa Parker, he has had some trouble finding boxing matches in the past year-and-a-half following the Berry fight. With NEF now operating as an MMA and boxing promotion, Parker, na wengine kama yeye, ni zinazopelekwa kufaidika na kampuni hiyo utulivu na matukio sambamba ratiba.
“Imekuwa ni frustrating sana,” Alisema Parker ya kujaribu kupata mechi ya ndondi. “Nimekuwa walijaribu kuanzisha mapambano ya wanandoa kupitia matangazo mengine nje ya nchi na wameweza kuanguka kwa. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for Novemba 21, hasa kwa kuwa sehemu ya kwanza mbili MMA na ndondi show. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Mimi tumefanya kitu lakini treni tangu. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.”
Na Parker mapenzi, hakuna shaka, itakuwa kipimo juu Novemba 21 katika “NEF XX.” Mpinzani wake, Elias Leland, ni mwanachama wa Jay Jack ya Chuo cha MMA katika Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards. He is currently 2-1 kama mtaalamu MMA fighter baada ya kuweka pamoja 3-1 rekodi kama Amateur. While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, yeye umeonyesha mikono nzuri sana na uwezo Standup hadi sasa katika MMA vipindi vya.
“Mimi kutarajia kuwa ni vita vizuri kwa mashabiki,” Alisema Parker ya ujao mechi ya ndondi na Leland. “I’ve never been one to trash talk before a fight. I’ll let my hands do the talking on Novemba 21. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Ni kwenda kuwa mapambano ya kusisimua.”
