THE FLYWEIGHTS WILL COMPETE FOR GOLD IN REMATCH AT NEF XVIII
Lewiston, Maine (Tháng tư 24, 2015) - Các trận đánh New England (NEF), Số một thúc đẩy cuộc chiến trong khu vực của Mỹ, sẽ giữ XVIII hỗn hợp võ thuật của mình (MMA) biến cố, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” trên Thứ bảy, Tháng sáu 13, 2015 tại Colisee Androscoggin Bank ở Lewiston, Maine. Sớm ngày hôm nay, the promotion announced that the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion will be determined that evening when Dustin Veinott (3-3) rematches “Sleepy” Norman Fox (4-1) at the flyweight limit of 125-pounds. Veinott and Fox initially met in their double amateur debut at “NEF IX” tại Biddeford, Maine nearly two years ago with Fox taking the win via first-round technical knockout (WHO).
Dustin Veinott, a striking coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) ở Auburn, Maine, got off to a slow start in his MMA career, losing his first three bouts in the NEF cage. Not one to give up due to a setback, Veinott came roaring back and is currently on a three-fight win streak. Trong thực tế, he has defeated all three of his most recent opponents in the first round, two by submission and one by TKO. Veinott was considering retiring from the cage after his most recent victory over Dave Brown (1-3), but decided against it when the chance to fight for the flyweight title was presented. Regardless of the outcome this time around, Veinott predicts an exciting contest against Fox.
“This is going to be a very entertaining fight,” said Veinott of the rematch. “Don’t blink though because this fight will not go the distance – either Norman or myself will be finished during the fight. So expect a high-action fight between two guys that are at the top of their game right now.”
Norman Fox is undefeated in the NEF cage. The only loss of his career to date came on a fight card in Plymouth, Massachusetts on which Fox was competing for a regional title. He is currently a member of Ryan Cowette’s (2-2) MMA Athletix gym, as well as Cowette’s Victory Church ministry. Fox realizes that he and Veinott are not the same fighters who stepped into the cage for the first time on that balmy night in the summer of 2013.
“Normally I don’t like rematches, but Dustin and I have grown as fighters so anything can happen,” said Fox when reached for comment. “Once they lock the cage door, it’s all in God’s hands.”

‘It’s Really Happening’ Builds on Original ‘Week of Greatness’ Spot

Tháng tư 23, 2015
NEW YORK, Tháng tư 23, 2015 — Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, today debuted a new television spot, "It’s Really Happening,” in celebration of the highly-anticipated and long-awaited bout between champion boxers on Thứ bảy, Có thể 2.
The new spot builds on Foot Locker’s “Week of Greatness” commercial from November 2014, which played on enduring attempts to schedule the oft-rumored mega fight, ending with Pacquiao believing that the fight was happening back then. In this newest commercial, Pacquiao’s business manager tells him that the fight really is going to happen, which at first surprises Pacquiao, then he again reacts with his signature elation made famous in the original spot.
“Our original ‘Week of Greatness’ spot with Manny Pacquiao last November was a big hit with our customers. It parodied the well-documented opposition of the fighters to agree upon a deal,” said Stacy Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Foot Locker. “So when the two sides finally announced that a deal had been made, we saw an opportunity to follow up, tapping into the hilarity of the original spot. We are excited to launch ‘It’s Really Happening,’ as part of Foot Locker’s signature ‘Approved’ marketing platform.”
The spot was created by worldwide agency BBDO.
