Lewiston, Mejn (Mart 10, 2016) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, će održati svoj sljedeći događaj, “NEF 22: Svi putevi vode OVDJE” na Subota, April 23, 2016 na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Mejn. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Ranije danas, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” borba kartica. Nick Gulliver (2-0) će se sastati Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Mejn, as well as the Foundry – Brazilski Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Mejn. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) u prvom krugu. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Tako, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Mejn. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) u “NEF 21” prošlog mjeseca.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

Leahy je osvojio titulu u teškoj kategoriji inauguralni amater “NEF XVIII” u junu ove godine, kada je porazio Smith Berserkers MMA saigrač Ryan Glover (2-1) via jednoglasnom odlukom. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “NEF XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) u Auburn, Maine i Young MMA u Bangor, Mejn.

 

“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” Pitao razjareni Leahy. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”

 

Dave Smith napravio svoj debi MMA prošlog proljeća u “NEF XVII” u Lewiston. That night, on je porazio Sonny Spratt (0-2) od prvog kola tehnički nokaut (WHO). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” u junu. Ovaj put, to je Gravin Guillen (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy on Novembar 21 u Lewiston.

 

“Prvi, Ja bih da se zahvalim svima koji se bave što ovaj borbi dogoditi,” Said Smith. “Siguran sam da nije bilo lako doći Billy da počine za novembar, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, uključujući i g. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Kažem direktno Billy–spremite se i nosim pojas.”
