BANTAMWEIGHTS POISED TO STEAL THE SHOW AT NEF XVIII

 

 

SA HINANALING PAGPAGAWAS: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 30, 2015) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, ang naghupot sa iyang ikanapulo ug walo nga mixed-martial arts (MMA) event, “NEF XVIII: Gihimo sa Amerika,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. The contest will feature Elias “Kakuyaw Mouse” Leland (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite Chad “Machine Gun” Kelly (3-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

Chad Kelly and Eli Leland are two guys who couldn’t put on a boring fight if they tried,” miingon ang kauban sa tag-iya sa NEF ug promoter nga si Nick DiSalvo. “Chad had the ‘Fight of the Nighton one of the first cards I ever promoted in Massachusetts years ago. I’ve followed his career since and have seen how far he’s come. Eli’s fights always steal the show on the NEF events. Fans will only need the edge of their seats for this one.

 

Kelly last appeared in the NEF cage in the fall of 2013 sa “NEF X.” Nga gabii, he defeated NEF regular Ernesto Ornelas (1-5) via second-round submission. Kelly has regularly competed in the flyweight 125-pound division throughout his career, but he and his coaches at The Fighting Arts Academy (FAA) in Leominster, Massachusetts decided to make the transition up to bantamweight beginning with the upcoming fight against Leland.

 

I’m very excited to be fighting for NEF in Lewiston, Maine again,” stated Kelly when reached for comment. “I fought for them my second pro fight and I loved the way they treat their fighters and how smooth everything went – labaw pa, getting the ‘Wwas nice. This fight I’m moving up to bantamweight. My coaches and I thought it was the right time. I started fighting at 19 and just have gained weight and have a massive cut to 125, plus I train with good 35ers and 45ers and do better when I’m heavier. Elias Leland is a tough grappler with good submissions. I’m sure he will be tough, but I think I will have an advantage everywhere the fight goes.

 

Leland, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine, will look to avenge a loss he suffered earlier this month to Jay Perrin (2-0) sa “Lisa XVII.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) sa Septyembre 2011. Leland has become known as a finisher over the years, submitting four opponents and defeating one via technical knockout (KINSA) at previous NEF events.

 

I have nothing but respect for anyone that is willing to fight me,” Miingon Leland. “Apan, coming off a loss, I’m pissed and hungry as hell. This will be an exciting fight for anyone that sees it. So you all better be there to see an amazing show.

 

Kaha ang sunod nga MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Gihimo sa Amerika” ang maggikan gikan sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine sa Hunyo 13, 2015.

LAS VEGAS (Abril 29, 2015) - Floyd "Money" Mayweather ug Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Miyerkules during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Sabado, Mayo 2, didto sa MGM Grand Garden Arena, mabuhi sa pay-per-view.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Marso 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing historythe undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Miyerkules at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

Floyd Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 ka tuig.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, mao ang pagbalik. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather ni Amahan & Trainer

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

Freddie Roach, Ni Pacquiao Trainer

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO sa Mayweather Promotions

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11th consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14th in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Tigpasiugda, Top Rank

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

KEN HERSHMAN, Presidente, HBO Sports

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. Usab, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 sa gabii. ET / 6 hapon. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

Esteban Espinoza, Executive Vice President ug General Manager, Showtime Sports

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 mga oras. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

RICHARD BAGYO, Presidente sa Kalingawan & Sports alang sa MGM Resorts International

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

 

“We have created additional programming at the resorts including closed circuit viewing that gives fans the chance to experience MGM’s great championship fights.

 

“We just want to thank everybody involved in this great event. We’re excited, we’re proud and we can’t wait for Saturday night.”

George Foreman on CBS Sports Radio’s “The Doug Gottlieb Show” on the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Match

“Boxing was invented for the underdog… That’s why I give it to Pacquiao.”

 

Kagahapon (Abril 28), two-time World Heavyweight Champion George foreman was on CBS Sports Radio’s “The Doug Gottlieb Show” with host Doug Gottlieb, where he talked about the Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight on Sabado, Mayo 2 sa Las Vegas. Below are somehighlights from the interview:

 

On the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Fight:

Talking honestly about what he thinks about “The Fight of the Century”,Foreman miingon: “This is major… boxing deserves something like this… I’m just happy the fight is happening, and it’s happening right now. Because everyone will get a chance to see what they wanted to see. If it had happened five years ago, there would have been some too young to enjoy [ug] some old enough to say, 'Hoy, there was better days.’ But now everyone’s hungry for the matchup of the century. [These are] evenly matched fighters. It’s a fan’s fight, and it should be. It’s big.”

 

Foreman continued later on in the interview: “That’s true… [Mayweather’s] got everything to lose. But boxing was invented for the underdog – for the smaller guy who doesn’t have a chance – to come up with a way to beat the bigger, stronger guy. That’s why I give it to Pacquiao. The sport was invented… for the lesser.”

 

On Advice He would Give Pacquiao:

Gottlieb asked what advice Foreman would give to Pacquiao for this match: “Hey, just win this round," Foreman miingon. “Every time you come back to the corner, you sit down on the stool, wave the towel over him and don’t say anything. The bell rings, go get him again. Do the same thing you did the first round all the way through the sixth or seventh round, and you’ll win.”

PBC ON SPIKE MAIN EVENT FIGHTERS AMIR KHAN, CHRIS Algieri, PAULIE MALIGNAGGI UG DANNY O’SON GIHIMO GIHIMO SA INYONG KATUNGDANAN SA VS. PEDIKAL SA PACQUIAO

BROOKLYN (Abril 29, 2015) – Ang superstar sa boksing Amir “Hari” Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) mobalik sa singsing sa Mayo 29 aron makuha ang kanhi world champion Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs) sa Barclays Center sa Brooklyn, NY, isip headliner sa usa ka kulbahinam nga Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) kard sa Spike TV.

 

Pagbukas sa aksyon sa telebisyon, nga gilaraw nga magsugod sa 9 sa gabii. UG/PT, ang pagbalik sa kaugalingon nga two-time world champion sa Brooklyn Paulie Malignaggi (33-6, 7KO ni) samtang nag-atubang siya sa Boston Danny O'Connor (25-2, 9KO ni) sa usa ka 10-round welterweight nga atraksyon.

Sa Mayweather vs. Pacquiao welterweight championship showdown pila ra ka adlaw ang nakalabay, Khan, Algieri, Si Malignaggi ug O’Sonnor mihatag kung giunsa ang paglaum sa labing gipaabot nga away sa kini nga panahon.

 

Amir Khan: “Kini usa ka away nga gitinguha sa kalibutan nga matan-aw ug kini labi na sa karon. Si Floyd ug Manny duha ka mga legendary fighters ug husto ra nga makita naton sila nga managsama nga nag-uban sa singsing. Wala ako'y pagduha-duha nga kini mahimo’g usa ka katingad-an nga matchup ug makapadasig kaayo samtang nagpadayon kini. Si Manny adunay kakusog sa kamot ug tulin nga mga tiil nga hinungdan sa pila ka mga problema ni Floyd sayo, apan sa pag-uswag naglaom ko nga buhaton ni Floyd ang mga pagbag-o nga iyang gitinguha nga ipataliwala nga sa wala pa molayo sa mga scorecards. Parehas ra gyud nga ipanghatag ang duha sa Sabado kagabii sigurado ako nga maghimo sila usa ka butang nga labi ka espesyal alang sa mga fans.”

 

Chris Algieri:Ang mga istilo naghimo sa mga away ug nagtuo ako nga kini usa ka istilo nga angay sa Floyd. Si Floyd ang labing tinuud nga manlalaban sa dula. Siya makahimo sa pagkuha sa pipila ka mga sayup ug pahimuslan kini. Si Manny himuon niya nga magtrabaho didto ug nagtuo ako nga ang una nga pipila nga mga hugna makapaikag kaayo. Si Manny usa ka lahi ug mas maalam nga fighter kaysa siya kaniadto sa Marquez knockout. Kung si Manny adunay dagway sa iyang gibuhat batok kanako, ug kung si Floyd wala’y bisan usa nga lakang, unya nakita nako si Pacquiao nga naghatag kaniya sa tanan nga mga matang sa kasamok. Sa katapusan bisan pa, Nakita nako nga nagdesisyon si Mayweather.”

 

Paulie Malignaggi: “Gikuha ko si Mayweather pinaagi sa daghang desisyon o paghunong sa ulahi. Daghan kaayo siya nga lahi sa iyang arsenal. Makalingaw tan-aw si Pacquiao, apan ang iyang usa ka dimensional nga pamaagi dili igo sa Sabado gabii.”

 

Danny O'Connor: “Kauban nako si Mayweather. Maalamon usab siya nga mahulog sa plano sa dula sa bisan kinsa, gawas sa iyang kaugalingon. Nahibal-an ko ang usa ka desisyon nga gibase sa iyang labaw nga kaarang sa boksing.”

 

Mga tiket alang sa live event sa Mayo 29 sa Barclays Center, gipasiugda sa DiBella Entertainment ug Star Boxing, mapalit sa $250, $150, $75 ug $45, dili lakip na magamit sa pag-alagad nga mga kaso ug mga buhis, ug sa sale karon.

Harold Weston and Melvina Latham

Harold Weston:I guess there’s no comeback for me because I’ve been told when you go into the Hall of Fame, it’s over. Thanks for this honor. I wondered how long it was going to take (jokingly), you got it right this time. Boxing is my family. Akong amahan, Gil Clancy and Emile Griffith, these guys brought me up. Boxing always got me to where I needed to go. Boxing made us the person we are today. This is an honor because there’s no Hall of Fame bigger than New York. Thanks a lot. I’m looking forward to the future.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Bobby Cassidy, Lonnie Bradley, Melvina Latham and Bobby Cassidy Jr. David Diamante is in back to far left.

Lonnie Bradley:I’d like to thank everyone, especial these two guys (Bobby Cassidy and Bobby Cassidy, Jr.). I called Bobby for advice. We met and then had a good ride for four years. He wanted a world champion, I wanted to be world champion, and we made the most of it. I’m happy that they’re part of my life and for me to be part of the Cassidy family. The bond is there because it’s a family affair.

(L-R) – Henry Hascup, Saul Mamby and Melvina Latham

Saul Mamby:I fought all over the world; one way to see the world. Most do it by taking a vacation. Kanako, I went around the world fighting people. I went to South Korea and won the world title but nobody knew. In my first title defense against Estephan Jesus, people were stunned to hear Saul Mamby was champion of the world. A lot of people who fought never had a chance to fight for the championship of the world. I lost the title butI was really ripped off. Thanks for putting me in the Hall of Fame. It’s an honor that I didn’t think would ever happen. I’m too old, 67, to fight but I still go to the gym. I think I can still do it but I’m not going to try. I appreciate this.

Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Silverglade

Bruce Silverglade:I’d like to thank Ring 8 and everybody on the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame nominating committee. I grew-up in Trenton, New Jersey, and my father was a police officer who liked boxing the best. After graduating from college, I worked at Sears Roebuck for 16 ka tuig. I called my father asking how I could get involved in boxing. I resigned from Sears Roebuck the next day and bought 50-percent of a gym with my profit sharing.I took over Gleason’s Gym in 1985. My concept of a gym was not just to train fighters, but for politics, heart and sports to come together. We’ve had concerts, off-Broadway plays, weddings and chamber music there. We founded a charity, ‘Give A Kid A Dream,’ sa 1981 for kids 8-18 mga tuig sa edad. These kids could come from schools, orphanages, parole officers, or from mothers of troubled kids. Boxing is about discipline. They can go thee seven days a week. We’re not building champions as boxers, but champion citizens in New York City. The inspiration comes from my wife who is the driving force behind the gym. Thank you for this tremendous honor to be a Hall of Famer.

Tommy Gallagher and his wife, Maureen

Tommy Gallagher:Thank you to so many people. Boxing has been my life and I wanted my first gym in 1951. I was friends with Rocky Graziano and Billy Graham, who’d drop by my gym to tell us about fighters. This is a wonderful time in my life. I want to thank my wife and family.

(L-R) – Joey Giambra and his son, Joey Giambra, Jr.

Joey Giambra:Thank you all for coming out. I want to thank Bob Duffy and Ring 8. I’m honored and thank them for voting me in. I’m so honored and humbled.

 

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Bob Miller, Melvina Latham and Miller’s wife, Linda

Bob Miller:Thanks for inducting me into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. The people who’ve come before makes you realize what this means, I’ve trained, managed, promoted and been a cut-man. The best part is the relationships with fighters from so many different backgrounds. I have so many stories. I thank them for allowing me to be part of their lives and see things most wouldn’t. I’m humbled to be inducted in this class.

Bob Duffy:I want to thank Ring 8’s nominating committee for voting me into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and everybody who helped put this together like Keith Sullivan, Ron McNair, Melvina Latham, Jack Hirsch and so many others. I want to congratulate the guys sitting up here. I had an office in Gleason’s Gym and worked Bobby Miller’s shows upstate. I’m very humbled. I grew up on the East Side of Manhattan in the projects. Sa 14, I had a chance to go to fights at The Garden because I lived only eight blocks away. This is a labor of love. I want to thank my family that has always been supportive. I’ve always felt family first, boxing second, and that’s been my life.

Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. Maora’g laban kana Jason “Ikaduhang Chance” Lachance (1-1) taking on the returning DangerousDom “Kamot nga Bato” Cofone (5-5) sa usa ka away gibug-aton sa 155-libra.

 

Jason Lachance of Brunswick, Maine made his MMA debut in May of 2014 sa “Lisa XIII.” He dropped a decision that night, but Lachance impressed many with his performance against the more-experienced Jarrod Tyler (3-1). He would return to the NEF cage this past February with a victory over Steve Bang, Jr. (3-3) pinaagi sa unanimous decision. Lachance is a product of Ryan Cowette’s (2-2) MMA Athletix gym and Victory Church ministry, both located in Bath, Maine.

 

God has blessed me with another opportunity to step inside the NEF cage and do what I love to do,” miingon Lachance. “An opportunity I am truly grateful for. I am focused on the task at hand and on June 13th, I will be ready for whatever comes my way.

 

A true veteran of the NEF amateur ranks, Dom Cofone has produced many memorable moments in the promotion’s cage over the years. Cofone won a Class A State Championship in 2001 wrestling for Westbrook High School in Westbrook, Maine. He put together a stellar record of 117-28 during his high school wrestling career. Cofone has taken the last few months off from MMA competition to concentrate on coaching the Westbrook youth wrestling team. With his previous gym, Balanced Ground MMA, on hiatus, Cofone has recently begun training at Jay Jack (12-7) and Amanda Buckner’s (11-5) Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine.

 

I took some time off to help coach my son’s youth wrestling teamshout out to all the Westbrook Wolfpack kids,” said Cofone. “I also needed to heal up a bit from a very active two years in and out of the cage. I’m feeling rejuvenated. I just started training back at the Academy and am super excited to learn as much as I can from such a great team. I’ve met Jason beforehe seems like a really great guy. I was at both of his fights, so I know he’s going to be a tough-as-nails, game opponent. I was in the stands for the last NEF event and it just didn’t seem right without ‘Dominick The Donkeyringing out of the speakers. This is a great match-up for the fans and I hope to see the Androscoggin Bank Colisee packed. Thank you to everyone who comes out to support local MMA.
