Lewiston, Maine (Xuño 10, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XVIII mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: FEITO EN AMÉRICA,” este sábado noite, Xuño 13, 2015 no Colisee Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. Recentemente, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), o NEF MMA Profesional campión dos lixeiros, e Baño “First Class” Raio(2-7) co-propietario NEF uniuse e matchmaker Matt Peterson nun especial “Cabeza a cabeza” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, entre outros temas.
The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “onda man.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington alegou que estaba só sinalizando para os seus fans no medio da multitude que a espera non estaba facendo calquera dano.
“Podo dicir-lle como que noite rematou,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Basicamente, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, e mentres eu pegaba o meu bíceps esquerdo e miña man esquerda estaba indo detrás da súa cabeza, o árbitro deixou a loita… Quedei espantado que tiña aproveitado porque, honestamente, Eu sabía que eu tiña unha morea de presión na mandíbula… Se de feito estaba acenando, que suga a el.”
“Nesa situación, Lembro especialmente Bickford mirando para min, Eu son a cara superior, vai para o meu pescozo e eu estou acenando,” Dixo Boyington. “Todo o mundo comeza a ruxir ben alto e eu recordo dicindo Bickford, 'Non Bruce, non se pode dicir que '… Se pensas que eu estou sometendo ou eu estou en apuros ou non pode respirar, you don’t tell the fighter, “Non se pode dicir que,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Eu vexo unha morea de cousas distintas que John dixo en liña, e unha morea de cousas que os demais teñen dito, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Antes de Boyington desistir da súa volta, many felt he had been winning that first round. De Traxe, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.
“Inevitablemente, Creo que John sería nocauteado,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Eu non creo que eu vou enviar-lle, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Eu creo que si o árbitro non parou no tempo, cando estaba na súa mandíbula co meu antebrazo e eu estaba chegando detrás do seu pescozo,” Raio speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Así, Eu non creo que el iría a unha segunda volta.”
Os días, semanas e meses seguintes a loita, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” tanto atletas tocou sobre o que o desquite significa para eles, e que precisan para probar este fin de semana.
“Eu só non podo ir alí e gañar John,” Dixo Boyington. “Mesmo os seus propios fans están esperando que… Non podo simplemente ir alí en 13 de xuñoand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Sei que, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, porque o outro brazo non está mesmo a traballar agora… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”
“En relación a Bruce me rematar axiña, e facendo máis doado, e non realmente se preocupe a loita moi, Acaba de atopalo irrespetuoso como unha morea de cousas que el me dixo:, miña familia e os meus amigos,” replied Raio. “Houbo momentos despois da última loita, cando as persoas estaban me parabenizándoo (en Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Así, despois de que eu dixen 'Bruce e realmente non son máis amigos,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… pero cando a xente me desrespeitar como el ten é difícil gusto do cara.”
