MORE THAN JUST GOLD IS AT STAKE IN TITLE REMATCH

Lewiston, Maine (Maí 27, 2016) – One of the past year’s most intense rivalries is about to be reignited. Á Júní 18, 2016, when New England Fights (NEF) presents “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í Lewiston, former amateur mixed-martial-arts (MMA) flyweight champion Dustin Veinott (4-4) will have his chance to recapture the strap from Ryan Burgess (2-0). Burgess took the title from Veinott last fall at “NEF XX” in a very close split decision. The outcome on the judgesscorecards has been a topic of heavy debate amongst NEF fans ever since.

 

I have wanted this rematch since right after he took the title,” said Veinott. “I know I wasn’t at 100% when I fought him last time. Best believe I will have no distractions this time around. I also feel he disrespected the whole weight division. I will teach him to respect this division. I am here to prove that us 125ers might be small, but we are all tough guys that know how to fight!”

 

Last time me and Dustin met in the cage, we went to war,” recalled Burgess. “Expect nothing less than that in our rematch. Many people considered it a close split decision fight, and although I wasn’t able to utilize my ground striking as I had hoped, I don’t see how you can call it a close match when I was able to impose my will on him throughout the entire three rounds. I believe that he does deserve this rematch, þó, as he made the trip to Hyannis, Mass for the last event and was unfortunately not able to compete due to his opponent not making weight. Opponents in my weight class are hard to come by in this region and I believe of all the guys who are consistent with their weight cuts, Dustin deserves another shot.

 

The Hyannis, Massachusetts bout that Burgess refers to was to take place earlier this month between Veinott and Ryan “Razzle Dazzle” Kane (4-3). The match was cancelled at weigh-ins when Kane did not make the agreed-to catchweight.

 

I was very frustrated about Razzle Dazzle not making weight,” stated Veinott. “Especially after I gave him the extra four pounds that he asked for. Hins, he disrespected me by not showing up on weightthat is why I didn’t take the fight.

 

Burgess, a member of Berserkers MMA in Rumford, Maine, is clear that he plans to finish the rematch with Veinott and not leave any room for controversy with another decision. He is not out to simply retain his title, but to also prove a pointthat he is the undisputed top amateur flyweight in Maine. And to do that, Burgess knows he has to put Veinott away definitively.

 

All I have to say to Dustin is ‘congrats, you got your rematch that you’ve been asking for.I hope you don’t expect the same fighter you got last timeyour fans may be disappointed at the end of the night. Svo sem eins og June 18th, I will solidify myself as the top flyweight for NEF, as well as make a statement of the improvements I have been making outside of the cage. There will be no ‘fan controversyafter I finish this fight in the first or second round.

 

Veinott contends that he will be more focused this time around. A member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Veinott is confident in his ability to submit Burgess should Burgess, a three-time state wrestling champion out of Mountain Valley High School with 150 wins to his credit, take the fight to the mat.

 

The difference that I will make going into this fight is to have no distractions,” said Veinott. “I will make sure I am the most mentally prepared I have ever been. I feel I already have all the tools to beat him. I caught him in several submissions our last fight, and I know for a fact he doesn’t want to stand with me. He will be going for another wrestling match and I am fully prepared for that.

 

And while the coveted NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Title may be on the line on Júní 18, both Veinott and Burgess are looking to finish their rivalry once and for all.

 

Find your seats early folks ’cause this one will be a quick thriller,” said Burgess in closing. “Our last bout I had a game plan to grind out a decision victory. A finish will go in the books after this fight.

 

The one thing Ryan should know is not to think this fight will be the same as the first one,” Veinott stated emphatically. “I will leave everything in the cage. You will see a different fighter, and I will come out victorious. It is time to release the beast!”

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine á Júní 18, 2016 með “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 og eru á sölu núna á www.TheColisee.com eða með því að hringja í Colisée kassi skrifstofu á 207.783.2009 x 525.

Lucian Bute’s anti-doping test statement

Montreal (Maí 26, 2016) Lucian Bute was informed of the results of the anti-doping test done after his World Boxing Council (WBC) world title fight against Badou Jack, Apríl 30, í Washington, D.C.
As reported in a statement sent by the WBC, the Washington D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission informed them that Bute tested positive for Ostarine, in an A sample analysis, after the bout.
I am surprised and sorry about this. I don’t understand what led to this positive result, Bute sagði. “I have always passed every anti-doping test that I was asked to take since I won a world title. More recently for my fight against James DeGale, í Quebec City, í nóvember síðastliðnum, I was tested eight times from before my training camp until after my fight. I have never taken any illegal products. I have a complete trust in my team. There will be an analysis of the B sample and I am sure that this result will be negative.
GYM has always been strongly in favor of a strict anti-doping policy to keep the sport of boxing clean,” GYM president Yvon Michel remarked. “We are really surprised by this first result and we now hope that the B sample proves that the first result was wrong. Þangað til þá, we support Lucian Bute.
There will be no further comments on this subject until the publication of Bute’s B sample result.

A Fresno native, HONEYCUTT, will return home after a one-fight hiatus when he faces Parlo in a middleweight bout on Júní 17. “The Cutt” is coming off of an impressive unanimous decision victory over Matt SECOR á "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson," his third win since joining Bellator MMA and the seventh of his young career. The 27-year-old began his occupation undefeated with four knockouts and three first round finishes, earning the distinction of being one of the welterweight division’s rising stars. Nú, in a new weight class, it will be interesting to see how Honeycutt performs.

Parlo will return to the Bellator fray for the first time in nearly two years, riding a two-fight winning streak and a stretch of four victories in his last five bouts. After beginning his career undefeated, the Danish middleweight posted a 4-2 record for the Viacom-owned promotion, which was highlighted by a ferocious knockout win in his promotional debut at “Bellator 78.” With fights against competitors the likes of Brennan Ward already under his belt, Honeycutt will continue the trend of Parlo facing stiff competition.

A native of New York, Reiter began his career on a spectacular hot streak, recording 16 wins in his first 17 faglega berst. The 28-year-old middleweight made 15 appearances under the direction of regional promotions before signing with Bellator MMA in 2014, where he has since strung together a 2-1 record with impressive victories over Benji Radach and Shamir Garcia. Standing at 6’3’ Reiter will have a slight height advantage over the 5’11’ Matthews when the two step into the cage on Júní 17.

Matthews also delivered a successful start to his flourishing career, earning wins in each of his first four bouts before joining Bellator MMA. A six fight veteran of the Scott Coker-led promotion, “The Mercenary” has posted a 4-2 record under the promotion’s umbrella, including two first round knockouts and one highlight reel soccer kick knockout over Charlie Rader at “Bellator 70.” The 28-year-old Calif. native now returns following a stint in Japan with hopes of creating havoc at 185-pounds when he challenges Reiter at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif.

Since making his professional debut in 2011, the 32-year-old Rainey has put together a stellar career, including multiple four-fight winning streaks and memorable victories over Jesse Juarez and Andy Murad. After collecting wins in eight of the first 10 berst af ferli sínum, the North Carolina native has made five appearances under the Bellator MMA banner, three of which ended in knockout victories for the man many refer to as “The Sniper.” The welterweight knockout artist will be searching for another explosive finish when he enters the cage next.

A native of Brazil, Jambo will look to continue his recent success when he makes his Bellator MMA debut on Júní 17 á Save Mart Center í Fresno, Calif. The 35-year-old Jambo has put together an impressive career, recording wins in six of his last seven fights dating back to 2010. Með 11 hans 18 victories going to the judges’ table, we can expect Jambo to bring a similar game plan to the cage, as he will try to outlast the knockout specialist standing in front of him.

Fighting Professionally in his Hometown for the First Time this Friday, Nick Casal to Make First Ring Appearance in Nearly Five Years

A familiar name, especially to the local boxing fans, will make his first ring appearance in just under five years á föstudaginn night in his own hometown of Niagara Falls, New York.
Former red-hot prospect NickHands of GoldCasal (22-4-1, 17 Kos) says he’s expecting some rust, but should have enough to overcome when he takes on 37-fight veteran Antonio Chaves Fernandez of Brockton, Massachusetts, in one of the untelevised supporting bouts at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. The fight will be Casal’s first at home as a professional.
In the night’s 10-round main event, WBO #11-, WBA #12- and IBF #15-rated heavyweight boxer Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (16-0-1, 14 Kos), defends his WBA NABA Heavyweight title against Topeka, Kansas, slugger Nick Guivas (12-3-2, 9 Kos). And in the 10-round lightweight semi-final, red-hot Filipino prospect HarmonitoEl Huracan de Gensan” Dela Torre (17-0, 12 Kos) will make his debut on US soil against capable veteran Guillermo Sanchez (15-18-1, 6 Kos) af Buffalo.
Presented by Greg Cohen Promotions, Salita Kynningar, FightCard Productions and Winner Take All Productions, “Championship Boxing á CBS Sports Network” will be broadcast live nationally at 9 pm EST.
Miðar “Championship Boxing á CBS Sports Network” byrja á $35 and are available at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino aðgöngumiðasala,www.ticketmaster.com or you can charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.
30-year-old Casal was headed for big things in boxing before suffering a loss of focus and all four of his losses in a two-year stretch from 2007 að 2009. Síðan þá, inactivity has been the name of his game.
So where was he and why wasn’t he fighting?
I never really left,” said Casal during a break in one of his final training sessions. “I’ve been working full-time for the last three years, but I was ready to go and trying to get a fight the whole time. I had a number of them fall through. I had one fight fall through at the weigh-in when a guy failed his physical. That was heartbreaking. But now, I finally have a team in place that can keep them from falling through and I’m glad to be finally getting back in the ring.
Casal says he’s basically the same talented fighter he always waswith a few improvements.
“Líkamlega, I feel exactly the same as I did five years ago. Andlega, I would say I’m a little stronger and a lot more patient than I was when I was younger. I set my shots up a lot better. I don’t think the ring rust will be as bad as it is for other guys who take a lot of time off. I’ve been in the gym training fighters and working out the whole time. I expect to have a little bit of rust, but not as much as someone who was completely out for years. I picture it going very well if I stick to my game plan and stay very focused.
Working with father Ray at their Casal’s Boxing Club Gym in Niagara Falls since February, Casal says he will now compete in the welterweight division and expects to take an aggressive approach to getting back on track.
I want to win a few regional titles and then earn a world title shot. Around this time next year, I’d like to be in some important fights.
Casal says he owes his apparent resurgence to promoter Greg Cohen, with whom he signed earlier this year.
He’s a great promoter and does shows in my hometown. I’ve never fought here as a professional. I fought in Buffalo a few times in 2011, but never fought here. That was important to me. People are calling like crazy for tickets. I’m excited to get it on. With the crowd behind me, I’ll be 100% tilbúin. I’ve just been waiting for the right guy to help me get to where I want to be. Looks like I found him.

RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

(On the importance of this fight)

Every fight is important. I come out for every fight to give everything I have. Fyrir mig, every fight is like the last fight. So this is a very important fight, just like any other.

I don’t like to make predictions too much; boxing is an unpredictable sport and it’s hard to say what will happen. Anything can happen on June 11. We’ve got a little bit to wait and we’ll see what happens.

I don’t know if it will go to the scorecards. Allt getur gerst. He is also a great fighter, so maybe it will go to the scorecards.

(On what he expects from John Molina Jr.)

I’m expecting him to come to fight. No doubt he’s a fighter, he’s a warrior. For somebody to defeat me is a big motivation and I know he’ll be coming to win.

“Sama hvað, he’s going to do anything possible to win this fight. That’s what I expect from people that take a fight with methat they’ll die in the ring to defeat me because it would be a great accomplishment. So I’m expecting a real war, a real fight.

(On the style of fighting and the matchup)

I think this is the type of fight that will be exciting and all-action. I think it’s a great matchup and it will be exciting for the fans.

(On who he’s looking to fight next)

I’m not thinking about that too much right now. Luckily my weight classes, both 140 og 147, there’s no problem with the opposition. There (eru) a lot of guys, a lot of stars. After this fight on June 11 we’ll be able to start thinking about what’s next.

I’ve always said that I’m willing to fight anyone at 140 og 147, just let me know when and I’ll be there. I’m ready to fight any of the top guys.

(On if he would rather fight a boxer or a come-forward fighter like Molina)

I definitely like the guys that come to fight. For me that is a better, more enjoyable fight. I like to fight a guy that wants to brawl.

(On if he’s ready to box if Molina choses to box instead of brawl)

“Then June 11, I’ll be ready for anything that can happen in the ring. I’ve been watching previous fights and correcting my mistakes and I’ll be ready for anything he decides to bring.

(On not fighting for eight months)

I don’t see too much of a negative side to that. I just wanted some time off and now I’m ready to come back. I’m always in shape; I’m always in the gym, always training.

I’m training all the time and always moving around even when I’m at home. Núna, training camp is going very well. Joel Diaz is very happy with training and he says everything is going a lot better than the last training camp. Everything is 100 prósent. I’m not worried at all.

(On his relationship with trainer Joel Diaz)

“Allt er að fara mikill. When Joel and I are training together it’s always very positive. That’s important for me. I’m enjoying the training camp and I’m having a good time, sem er mikilvægast.

Boxing-wise I’ve added a lot of different things. Mikilvægast af öllu, I’ve increased my defensive skills and that’s going to show in this fight very much and I’m positive of that. More than that, my punching combinations have gotten better in the last few camps and that’s going to show. Joel and I work well together and that’s definitely important.

JOHN Molina JR.

(Thoughts leading up to the fight)

I am really excited. Ruslan is a hell of a fighter and competitor. I think it’s a can’t-miss, all-action fight when you have someone like myself and Ruslan in there.

Stylistically I think there are thing that I have to my advantage. Stature-wise: my height, my reach. En með því að segja, when the fight starts, all of that is going to go out the window and we’re going to fight.

We were both in Fights of the Year, but we were both on the losing ends. Now we want to be on the winning end. I think that is an unwritten motivation for both of us.

Stylistically it’s a great matchup. We’ve had a common opponent and of course you can draw that he was in a Fight of the Year with some other fighter. But I’m not that stature. I am 5-feet-11 with a reach that he can’t compare with. Then June 11 after the first bell rings, I’ll be able to tell you exactly how the fight is going to play out.

(On the importance of winning this fight)

Every fight is important. Fortunately and unfortunately, boxing is a ‘what have you done for me latelytype of sport. Fyrir mig, I didn’t have an extensive amateur career so the pros were, in essence, my amateur career. But I believe I’m at the right spot right now, where I need to be to hit my stride.

Of course a victory is always the goal. I don’t like to lose at checkers and I don’t want to lose at boxing. To keep the lifestyle that I have going, I have to continue to be victorious and move forward.

We definitely want to catapult off of a big marquee name. We want to be on the winning side. Það er markmiðið 110 prósent. We won’t be satisfied with anything less than a victory. I’m not content with getting in these fights because people love to watch me fight. I want to be content with getting these fights because I’m victorious and that’s what we’re planning on doing on June 11.

I feel like you’re going to get the best of me now. I feel like my longevity isn’t a question because I didn’t have the extensive amateur career. A lot of these guys have been boxing since they were eight years old. I didn’t start until I was 17. Ég vissi ekki að snúa atvinnumaður fyrr en ég var 24. I only had 22 áhugamaður berst. So the miles on my odometer, svo að segja, are less than someone like Ruslan who had an extensive amateur career. He’s been in more wars than me.

Either way you slice it, boxing takes something from you. Whether it’s your youth, your sharpness, boxing is that kind of a sport where it draws something from your body. I believe he’s had it worse than me. I feel stronger and more experienced for lacking those years.

DEJAN ZLATCANIN

(On what this fight means for his career)

This is the most important fight for me because the WBC title has been my dream since the first day I went to the gym. I will be the new champion.

I was always the underdog in every fight but now I don’t get underestimated. My opponent is going to get the best me on June 11. I think those who underestimated me were wrong all along, but I will put some good shots on him and he’ll go down. I will knock him out.

I think they [aðdáendur] will cheer for me like I am a home fighter and I will do my best to bring the good fight.

(Á andstæðingi sínum)

He’s a boxer. He’s smart, but he has no power. He will try to box, keep a distance and use his height advantage. He will use his footwork to keep me at bay, but it won’t work.

(Thoughts on fighting for first world title)

I am very excited and I am very happy to be fighting for my first world title. I am coming from a little country and I want everyone to know where Montenegro is and I can’t wait to get in the ring.

(On fighting in U.S. for first time)

People in America, they’re fans, they love good boxing. It doesn’t matter where you are from, they just like good fights. They like my style because I am a fighter and I go forward.

I have had a very good training camp,” said Kisner. “Capers is a tough and durable opponent. He has been in with some very good fighters, but I am very confident about getting the win á föstudaginn.”
Kisner has won two in a row since his highest profile bout to date when he dropped a ten round unanimous decision to former two-time world title challenger Lateef Kayode,
In that bout, Kisner fought well and had some moments in the bout, but came up just short in a fight that seemed closer then the official scorecards.
I learned a lot about in that fight. I went 10-rounds for the first time. I did that against one of the best fighters in the divisions. That was the fight where, also learned the best way to get down to 200 £. Fyrir þann baráttunni, I would kill myself to make the weight.
That training regimen has worked so well, that Kisner is now contemplating a move to light heavyweight.
“Það er áætlun. Í raun, if everything goes well á föstudaginn, that I am looking at a big name at light heavyweight in August.
En fyrst, he has to deal with Capers, not far from Kisner’s hometown of Baltimore.
I am excited to be fighting in Atlantic City. It is one of the big stages in boxing. Svo sem eins ogFöstudagur, I am going to put on a great show, and I am going to show the world that I am great fighter. I have learned from my previous fights. I have matured and á föstudaginn, people will see that I am on the best fighters in the world.
