路易斯頓, 緬因 (五月 25, 2016) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) 返回到安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因州六月 18, 2016 同 “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” The fight promotion will put on another full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) cagefights and pro boxing bouts. 今天早些時候，, NEF executives announced the headline fight for the boxing portion of the fight card. 西叉, Maine’s own 布蘭登 “大砲” 貝瑞 (11-1-1) will put the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title on the line in a rematch against Detroit, Michigan’s 詹姆斯 “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1).
Berry and Lester met earlier this spring at “22 NEF” 在路易斯頓. The six-round bout was ruled a majority draw on the judges’ 記分卡. 這陣子, 然而, NEF executives had a trick up their sleeves – add a seventh round to all but guarantee a winner.
Berry won the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title in October 2014 in Lewiston against West Virginia Toughman Champion Eric Palmer (4-3-3). He has been the kingpin of the 140-pound division in the Northeast ever since. The draw against Lester halted a three-fight win streak Berry had been on since returning from a shoulder injury last year.
“I think the main difference in a rematch between me and James will be more action,” Berry predicted. “We both know what we bring to the table, we both enjoy pleasing the crowd, and we both want to win. I think those are some key ingredients to a great matchup. I have a lot of respect for James , his boxing ability, and what he brings to the table. I was impressed with his speed, his all around toughness, and his ring generalship. I’m excited to headline another card in Lewiston, and can’t wait for the crowd to enjoy my fight, along with a few other boxing matches that include some talented Maine boxers. I hope that we can draw a big crowd and have a quality night of fights. See you all on the 18th!”
“I’m most definitely looking forward to fighting in Maine again,” said Lester, a former top-ranked national amateur boxer. “The fans there are awesome. I even gained a few fans from my last fight who’s been messaging me on a regular like a young guy by the name of Hunter Moore who messages me every week making sure I’m training hard for the rematch.”
Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where Thomas “殺手” 赫恩斯 (61-5-1, 48 科斯), 霍亞 (39-6, 30 科斯), 倫諾克斯·劉易斯 (41-2-1, 32 科斯) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 科斯), 等等, have prepared for world title bouts under legendary trainer, the late Emanuel Steward. “The only thing that will be different this time is I will be in better condition. That was my only downfall last time. This time I’ll be able to box and stay on my toes for the tough pressure that Brandon brings.”
