LANGSTON PÅ SØGNING EFTER FØRSTE PROVINDER HOS NEF 46 I FEBRUAR 12
PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Portland, Maine (Januar 11, 2022) - New England Fights (NEF) vender tilbage med sin næste mixed-martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, "NEF 46: Årti med dominans," på lørdag, Februar 12, 2022, ved Aura i Portland, Maine. Arrangementet skal fejre NEFs ti-års jubilæum. Den førende regionale kampagne blev lanceret i februar 11, 2012. Tidligere i dag, NEF annoncerede tilføjelsen af en professionel letvægtskamp til kampkortet.Carl Langston(0-6)er planlagt til at tage fatShaun Ray(2-1) ved en kampvægt på 155 pounds.
Carl Langston vil lede efter den første sejr i sin professionelle karriere – en karriere, der strækker sig tilbage til 2018. Før den tid, Langston vandt syv kampe som amatør. Han er en livslang kampkunstner, efter at have dyrket taekwondo siden 6-årsalderen og vundet medaljer i sporten på junior-OL-niveau. Langston konkurrerer i øjeblikket som en selvstændig fighter.
"Denne kamp er make it or break it for mig,” bemærkede Langston. "Jeg har alle redskaber til at give Shaun og nogen af mine sidste modstandere bedst, Jeg skal bare møde op mentalt. Jeg har haft nogle store positive forandringer i livet med starten på dette nye år med flere på vej, og jeg føler, at det vil være med til at spille en stor rolle i denne kamp. Jeg er klar til at bide ned på mit mundstykke og få denne finish. Jeg føler ikke, at Ray er en ægte 55er – han er meget lille til vægtklassen – så springet op til 55 at bekæmpe ham er et vidnesbyrd om mine færdigheder. Jeg vil være 2022's gennembrudskæmper."
Shaun Ray fik sin NEF-debut sidste sommer ved "NEF 44" i Milford, New Hampshire i en tabende indsats til Caleb Hall (4-0). Ray er uddannet fra Easton High School i Easton, Maryland. Han er i øjeblikket bosiddende i Waterville, Maine. Ligesom Langston, Ray er også en selvstændig fighter.
"Jeg er taknemmelig for muligheden for at teste mine evner mod en meget rutineret angriber," sagde Ray. ”Jeg har kendt Carl og fulgt hans kampkarriere i syv år. Jeg har stor respekt for ham som fighter. Hvad mig selv angår, Jeg gør bare det, jeg elsker at gøre. Jeg synes, det er et fremragende match up."
"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” finder sted på lørdag, Februar 12, 2022, ved Aura i Portland, Maine. Arrangementet skal fejre NEFs ti-års jubilæum. Døre åbne på 6 pm med første kamp kl 7 om eftermiddagen. Billetter er til salg nu klwww.Ticketmaster.com.
Direct descendant of Rocky Marciano Brandon Cappiello Drops another New England Patriots music video
(L-R) Brandon Capp and Randy Lo BROCKTON, Masse. (Januar 10, 2022) — A direct descendant of the great Rocky Marciano, Brandon “Brandon Capp” Cappiello, dropped another music video today about the New England Patriots – Patriot (New Era Anthem) – as the club prepares for this Saturday night’s NFL playoff wild card game versus the Buffalo Bills. |
Cappiello’s paternal great grandmother and Marciano’s wife were sisters. His grandfather, Michael “Duna” Cappiello, traveled everywhere with Rocky during his undefeated Hall of Fame professional boxing career. Brandon’s father and uncle, henholdsvis, promoter/matchmaker Rich Cappiello and trainer/former pro boxer Mike Cappiello, own and operate Cappiello Boxing Gym in downtown Brockton (MA), known as the City of Champions. Hall of Famer Marvelous Marvin Hagler also fought out of Brockton. Cappiello and fellow Brockton native Randall “Randy Lo” Coulanges wrote and performed “Patriot,” and Brandon mixed and produced it. This is the third and likely the final anthem for the Brockton duo. Seks år siden, their original music video, “Champion,” went viral and their follow-up was a successful Boston Red Sox anthem, entitled “Never Back Down.” “Patriot” was directed by Scott Beer (Scott Beer Media), a highly accomplished film maker/videographer from Rhode Island. |
An associate known as BA originally asked “Brandon Capp,” a singer, and rapper “Randy Lo” if they would do a Patriots music video. He was well known on the Boston music scene having been involved with New Kids On The Block og New Edition. “I was skeptical at first because it’s so difficult to please everyone,” Brandon said. “We did it in less than a week and I produced it in my bedroom. All of a sudden, things were crazy, it went viral overnight. We’ve had more than 3 million collective views across all media platforms. It took on a life of its own. It was playing everywhere, and we were guests on a lot of television and radio shows. It still gets 200,000 views a year. “Our first anthem was an anomaly. We did it all without any real help in such a short time. But we are real artists who have both been doing music for years. It resonated in every demographic, even playing on radio, something that never happens for a sports anthem that is team based. It was more about recognition for both of us because people loved it and shared on social media. It was an incredible ride that really hasn’t ended. The third of their anthem trilogy promises to be equally addictive as its original, if not more popular, largely because of several key reasons “The sky is the limit for this song,” Cappiello concluded. “The first one was special, but this time we wanted to take the special formula of what worked and give a fresh and new take on a great concept. ” Hundreds of people had asked us to do another one for years. And nobody collaborates better than us. We’re great friends who’ve known each other since the seventh grade. We want what’s best for both of us.” The ideal situation for “Brandon Capp” and “Randy Lo” would be performing live before or during halftime at the 2022 New England Patriots’ season opener, eller, better yet, performing at a Pats’ pep rally if they make another playoff run this season.

(Stoppage videoher)
The Dominican Republic’s Nuñez (16-0, 12 KOS) worked the body effectively all night against Puerto Rico’s Arrieta (14-1, 8 KOS), finally landing a staggering straight right hand that stunned Arrieta in the middle of the final round. Nuñez, 22, then finished off Arrieta with a flurry of punches that ultimately led to the stoppage at 1:41 af 10th round on a night that saw three undefeated records fall on the popularShoBox prospect series.
“The plan was to work the body and to break him down and that’s what we did,” Nunez said. “I saw the right hand was landing and I kept throwing it and trying to set him up for it and attacking until we got what we wanted in the final round. It was a great shot and great win for my career. It’s the way I wanted to close the fight.”
Arrieta’s loss was the 206th time inShoBox’s 21-year history that a fighter lost his undefeated record and the Nuñez-Arrieta matchup was the 144th ShoBox fight between undefeated fighters.
“I thought it was a quick stoppage,” Arrieta said. “I was a little stunned, but I could have continued. I didn’t want the fight to be stopped. He was a strong fighter, en sand kriger. He’s a very good fighter and was very effective with the right hand.”
Nuñez said he is ready to go back down to 126 pounds after contesting his first professional fight in the 130-pound super featherweight division. “I fought for most of my career at 122 så 126 is where I belong,"Sagde han. “I felt strong at this weight [junior-letvægt] men 126 is the weight for me.”
Han tilføjede: “I knew he was a tough fighter and I’m not surprised the fight went as it did. Han kom til at kæmpe, and we gave the fans a good fight.”
I co-feature, Otar Eranosyan remained unbeaten with his second consecutiveShoBox victory as he dominatedStarling Castillo with a unanimous-decision victory in an eight-round lightweight affair. Pointene blev 79-71 og 80-70 twice.(Eranosyan UD winHER).
The former highly decorated Georgian amateur Eranosyan (11-0, 6 KOS), fighting out of Hollywood, Fla., dominated the bout, scoring a 10-7 first round with two knockdowns against the Dominican Republic’s Castillo (16-1, 12 KOS).
“We work on the left hook in training and when the opening presented itself I landed the left hook on the (første) knockdown,” said Eranosyan, rangeret Nej. 7 by the WBA at 130 pounds, who fought six times in 2021. “It’s fine that he got up. This is pro boxing. We train for 12 runder, 10 runder, eight rounds, however long it takes we will be there.
“I feel great about my performance. This is why I train like I do and fight as hard as I do for nights like these.”
Med sejren, Eranosyan believes the time is now for him to face the blue-chippers around his weight class.
“I’m ready for all the champions. Bring them on,” Eranosyan said. “Shakur Stevenson, Oscar Valdez, I’m ready for all of them. I’m getting better and better each fight and I’m ready now to face the best. I know that with more performances like these, soon I will be champion of the world.”
The 26-year-old Castillo suffered a knockdown in the first round on a left hand by Eranosyan that startled Castillo but wasn’t a direct connect. Just seconds before the round ended, Castillo was sent to the canvas once again on a counter right hand giving Eranosyan a 10-7 round and commanding early-fight lead.(First-round highlightsHER)
Eranosyan outlanded Castillo 153-102 in total punches. Of his 153 landed punches, 150 were power punches for Eranosyan.
The 28-year-old Eranosyan nicknamed “Pitbull” made hisShoBox debut in September and defeated the highly regarded Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero via unanimous decision in Broken Arrow, Okla.
I fjersynsudsendelse åbneren, William Foster III passed a difficult test, earning a hard-fought split decision againstEdwin de los santos i en otte-runde junior-letvægt Bout. Two judges scored the fight 77-74 twice for Foster, with the third judge scoring it 77-74 in favor of De Los Santos.(Foster’s split-decision winHER)
Foster (14-0, 9 KOS) of West Haven, Conn., overcame a slow start but was the busier fighter, outthrowing De Los Santos 468-421. Kæmpe for hans US. debut, the power-punching De Los Santos (13-1, 12 KOS) af Santo Domingo, Den Dominikanske Republik, had an eventful fourth round, suffering a cut above his left eye, which seemed to slow him over the final four rounds. It was the first time the Dominican suffered a cut in his professional career. De Los Santos also had a point taken away in the fourth for holding. Fatigue was also a factor as De Los Santos had never been past the sixth round in his young career and seemed to run out of gas as the fight wore on.
“I was pressuring him the whole time and I knew he was slowing down and eventually I would get to him,” said Foster, who kept moving forward as the fight progressed and dictated and landed the more powerful punches. “I thought it was the right decision because I was landing more shots as the fight went on.”
The 28-year-old Foster – the younger brother of 20-0 professional light heavyweight prospect Charles Foster – was surprised with how fast De Los Santos started. “I knew I had to stay calm, and I adapted and my experience allowed me to adjust to what was happening,” Foster said. “He wasn’t devastating, and the punches never hurt me. I knew he would slow down and when he did, I began to land my shots and had success with my pressure.”
Regarding the point deduction in the fourth, De Los Santos disagreed with the referee’s decision. “I didn’t think the point should have been deducted,” said De Los Santos, who had scored stoppages in his last seven fights. “I thought I should have been warned first.
“I thought it was a close fight, but I thought I did enough to earn the victory. I was landing the harder shots throughout and he never hurt me.”
Added De Los Santos: “He was a little awkward and he came with a little more than we thought he would, but I still thought I won. He was aggressive and maybe I slowed down a little as the fight went on, but I still thought I was landing. This is a setback but I’ll learn from this and come back better.”
International Boxing Hall of Famer Barry Tompkins called the action from ringside alongside former world champion Raul Marquez and renowned combat sports expert Brian Campbell serving as expert analysts. Hall of Famer Steve Farhood was the unofficial scorer. The executive producer was Gordon Hall with Rich Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.
The event was promoted by Sampson Boxing. DenShoBox tripleheader will re-air on Monday at 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME EXTREME®.

ZHANG ZHILEI – “HRGOVIĆ IS NO BOOGEYMAN”
Undefeated heavyweight Zhang “Big Bang” Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 KOS) is looking for big fights in 2022. Zhang, who is coming off of a second-round knockout of Craig Lewis, is world-ranked in both the IBF and WBO and wants to fight a top heavyweight so that he can earn a title shot.
The division is opening up after a flurry of recent activity at the end of 2021. With its mandatory contender position vacant, the International Boxing Federation is trying to set up a final eliminator. Contenders Luis Ortiz and Joseph Parker, both of whom are fresh off big wins, ducked their chance to fight #3 ranked Filip Hrgović (14-0, 12 KOS). Kroatien. The IBF will continue to go down its rankings in order until one of the contenders agrees to fight Hrigović.
Zhang vows that if asked, he would take on the Croatian in a battle of 6’6’’ big men.
“I don’t understand why top heavyweights are turnin this down.” Said the former Olympic silver medal winner. “Hrgovic is no boogeyman. I’ve made it known that if my name comes up, I’ll step up and take it.”
And if a showdown with Hrigovic does not materialize, den 38 year-old Zhang is ready for any of the big names.
“I’m not getting any younger, and I have told my promoter that I want to make a big move," Said Zhang, listing off of top heavyweights such as Joseph Parker and Dereck Chisora – all of whom share the same promoter, Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom.
“My ultimate goal is to become world champion and I need fights that put me on that path. I will fight anyone. I want a big opportunity and all I am asking for is fair compensation. I am ready now.”

Jeg glæder mig til at vise min knockout-kraft og overordnede evner som mixed martial artist. Også selvom fansene i Maine måske endnu ikke kender navnet Rooney, de vil ikke glemme det, efter at de har set min jernnæve-kraft."
