THE FLYWEIGHTS WILL COMPETE FOR GOLD IN REMATCH AT NEF XVIII
路易斯頓, 緬因 (四月 24, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十八屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十八NEF: 美國製造,” 上 星期六, 六月 13, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. 今天早些時候,, the promotion announced that the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion will be determined that evening when 達斯汀Veinott (3-3) 的rematches “困” 諾曼·福克斯 (4-1) at the flyweight limit of 125-pounds. Veinott and Fox initially met in their double amateur debut at “NEF IX” 在比迪福德, Maine nearly two years ago with Fox taking the win via first-round technical knockout (WHO).
達斯汀Veinott, a striking coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) 奧本, 緬因, 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. 事實上, 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.”
NEF的下一個MMA賽事, “第十八NEF: 美國製造” 將源自銀行安德羅斯科在Colisée酒店路易斯頓, 緬因州六月 13, 2015. 門票 “第十八NEF” 開始只是 $25 而在銷售現在 www.TheColisee.com 或致電在Colisée酒店票房207.783.2009 X 525. 有關事件,並拼牌更新的詳細信息, 請訪問推廣的網站 www.NewEnglandFights.com. 此外, 你可以在觀看視頻NEF www.youtube.com/NEFMMA, 按照他們的Twitter @nefights並加入官方Facebook集團“新英格蘭戰鬥。”

Smith challenged the Armenian-German for his title in Kiel, Germany in September 2014 and put on the performance of his career in his world title first shot. The 32-year-old native of Liverpool was the clear winner of large parts of the fight and celebrated at the bell in front of a hushed partisan crowd that thought that Abraham had been dethroned. Smith was not expecting the wide scorecards that were read out in favor of the hometown fighter and, judging by the far-reaching outrage at the lopsided numbers, neither were the majority of the boxing world and beyond, with Smith receiving support from some of Britain’s biggest sports stars on social media. A rematch was the only possible scenario and, like a true champion, Abraham duly obliged. Smith returned to Germany in February of this year to face Abraham again, this time in Berlin, but Abraham was a different fighter the night of their second fight, successfully defending his belt against a brave challenge from Smith. Once again the judges’ were forced to give a verdict and this time a decision win by Abraham was met with no outcry of controversy. 上 六月 20, “Real Gone Kid” will return to the ring and once again venture into hostile territory to take on one of boxing’s best, looking to silence the crowd.

‘It’s Really Happening’ Builds on Original ‘Week of Greatness’ Spot
Foot Locker, 公司. (紐約證券交易所: FL)
四月 23, 2015
紐約, 四月 23, 2015 — Foot Locker, 公司. (紐約證券交易所: 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 星期六, 五月 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.
