DREAM MATCHES, BELLATOR VETERANS & TITLE FIGHTS TOP NEF 29 ਲੜੋ ਕਾਰਡ
Lewiston, Maine (ਜੂਨ 1, 2017) - New England ਲੜਦਾ ਹੈ (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on ਜੂਨ 17 with a fight card featuring both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. ਪਹਿਲੇ ਨੇ ਅੱਜ, ਤਰੱਕੀ ਘਟਨਾ ਲਈ ਪੂਰੀ ਲੜਾਈ ਕਾਰਡ ਦਾ ਐਲਾਨ. The fight card is subject to approval of the Combat Sports Authority of Maine (CSAM). The boxing portion of the card will begin at 7 pm EDT with the MMA card to immediately follow.
In a highly-anticipated “Superfight,” Maine MMA star ਬਰੂਸ “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-9 MMA, 1-0 ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ) will take on Maine’s premier boxer ਰਸਲ “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ. (15-2, 7 ਕੋਸ) in a six-round boxing bout. The fight will be a dream match for fans who never expected to see each sports’ top in-state athletes face one another. Boyington and Lamour have both been featured in nationally-televised bouts on NBC and ESPN in recent years. Lamour is the former New England Middleweight Champion, while Boyington held the NEF MMA Lightweight Title until relinquishing it last year to sign with the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) global promotion.
“Bruce and Russell are at the top of their respective games,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Russell is a great boxer, and he’s going to face a superb striker in the form of Taekwondo black belt Bruce Boyington. This is a true dream match for Maine fight fans.”
The professional MMA portion of the fight card will feature the long-awaited return of former NEF MMA Featherweight Champion ਰੇ “ਸਾਰੇ ਵਪਾਰ” ਲੱਕੜ (8-3) as he faces Brazilian prospect Alexandre “ਬੱਟ” Bezerra (19-5). Wood left Maine more than two years ago to re-settle in South Carolina and then Texas. Both Wood and Bezerra are veterans of the Bellator cage with a dozen fights between them for the national promotion.
“When you consider both sides, this is probably the highest-level fight to ever take place in NEF,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “This fight could easily be slid into any UFC card on FS1 or Fox and steal the show. Either one of these athletes could get the call up after this fight. Our fans are about to see something special.”
The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a title fight with Rafael “Deez Nuts” Velado (4-0) defending the amateur lightweight championship against Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Famer ਪੈਟ Kelly(3-0). At age 52, Kelly will be the oldest fighter to ever challenge for an NEF title.
In addition to the fights, legendary boxer ਯਾਕੂਬ “Buster” Douglas (38-6-1, 25 ਕੋਸ) will make an appearance at “NEF 29” as the guest of honor. Douglas will hold an hour-long meet-and-greet with fans at the Colisee from 6 ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਮੰਤਰੀ 7 ਪ੍ਰਧਾਨ ਮੰਤਰੀ prior to the opening bell. Longtime fans will remember Douglas as the architect of the greatest upset in professional sports history with his knockout of “ਆਇਰਨ” Mike ਟਾਯਸਾਨ (50-6, 44 ਕੋਸ) ਵਿੱਚ 1990 to claim the world heavyweight title. Douglas halted the 37-fight undefeated streak that opened Tyson’s pro career.

New showdown announced for “KO ਰਾਤ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ: WAR In WinnaVegas”
|
ਜੂਨ 10 live from Iowa on CBS Sports Network
|
|
SLOAN, IA (ਮਈ 31, 2017) – An injury has forced NABO Junior Welterweight Champion Maurice “ਸ਼ਕਤੀਸ਼ਾਲੀ Mo” Hooker (22-0-3, 16 ਕੋਸ) to withdraw from his scheduled “KO ਰਾਤ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ: WAR In WinnaVegas” headline event against Abdiel “Mortero” Ramirez, 'ਤੇ ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ, ਜੂਨ 10, ਪ੍ਰਸਾਰਣ (10 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. ਅਤੇ / 7 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. PT) on CBS Sports Network live from WinnaVegas Casino Resort in Sloan, Iowa.
“KO ਰਾਤ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ: WAR In WinnaVegas” is presented by KO Night Boxing LLC, in association with Roc Nation Sports, Ringside Ticket Inc. and WinnaVegas Resort Casino. TITLE Boxing is the official gloves provider for KO Night Boxing.
WBC Oriental Super Lightweight Champion Zhimin Wang (8-1, 3 ਕੋਸ), of China, will face Dallas lightweight Manuel Rey Rojas (14-3, 4 ਕੋਸ) as an addition to the card. Elevated to main event status is the original 10-round co-feature being contested for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight title, matching former USBA champion Daniel “Twitch” Franco (15-1-3, 10 ਕੋਸ), who fights out of Rancho Cucamonga, ਕੈਲੀਫ਼ੋਰਨੀਆ ਦੇ, and Utah favorite Jose Haro (13-1-1, 7 ਕੋਸ).
The 25-year-old Franco (15-1-3, 10 ਕੋਸ), who fights under the Roc Nation Sports banner, was a standout amateur boxer captured the vacant USBA featherweight title last November, knocking out previously unbeaten Derrick Murray (13-0-1) in four rounds. He lost the belt in his following fight, stopped by veteran Christopher Martin (29-8-3) in the third round of their non-title fight in Los Angeles on ਮਾਰਚ 23. Franco is currently rated No. 5 by the USBA and No. 11 by the NABO.
Haro (13-1-1, 7 ਕੋਸ), USBA No. 14-ਰੇਟਿੰਗ, is an all-action fighter with tremendous potential. The 29-year-old is presently riding a six-fight win streak with five victories and one draw. His lone loss as a professional was to highly-touted prospect Toka Kahn Clary (11-0) by way of a six-round decision in 2014.
The new 10-round co-feature will be an exciting match-up between Wang and Rojas (14-3, 4 ਕੋਸ). Last January in China, Zhimin defeated Aekkawee Kaewmanee (16-6), by way of a 10-round unanimous decision for the vacant WBO Oriental crown. The only blemish on Zhimin’s otherwise perfect pro record is a 10-round loss by decision last September, to then 12-0 Russian prospect Ivan Baranchyk in Oklahoma.
“I honestly felt that Haro vs. Franco was a legitimate main event fight as the co-feature,” promoter John Andersen. “Injuries are an unfortunate part of boxing and we’re disappointed to lose a world-class fighter like Hooker. ਹੁਣ, ਪਰ, Haro-Franco gets top billing and we’re fortunate to have a solid co-feature added to a very competitive, entertaining card.”
The TV opener features Chicago super bantamweight prospect Giovanni Mioletti (7-0, 1 KO) taking on Las Vegas’ upset-minded Sal Lopez (4-1) ਛੇ-ਦੌਰ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ ਵਿਚ. In a pair of four-round undercard matches, Sioux City, Iowa cruiserweight Shalyn Joseph will make his pro debut against Chicago’s Darrius Flowers (0-1), while Sioux Falls, South Dakota super welterweightKeith Cournoyer (0-0-1), ਵਰਗ ਨਾਲ ਬੰਦ Justin Likeness, of Minot, North Dakota.

Montreal (ਮਈ 30, 2017) – WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson and Andrzej Fonfara sounded off at the final press conference ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ at Montreal Casino for their 175-pound rematch ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ live on SHOWTIME from Bell Centre.
WBC Light Heavyweight No. 1 contender Eleider Alvarez and former 175-pound champ Jean Pascal also faced off for their co-featured bout that opens the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast live at 9 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. ਅਤੇ/6 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. PT.
Both Stevenson (28-1, 23 ਕੋਸ) and Fonfara (29-4, 17 ਕੋਸ) scored knockdowns in their all-action meeting in 2014, the only time Stevenson has been down in his eight world title fights since winning the WBC belt in 2013. While the local Montreal favorite was pushed the distance in his first bout with Fonfara, he has scored knockouts in five of his seven title defenses and stated ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ that he expects a knockout in the rematch.
Since the close loss to Stevenson in 2014, Fonfara has picked up wins against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Nathan Cleverly and Chad Dawson, and enters the rematch with a new trainer, the renowned Virgil Hunter.
Alvarez (22-0, 11 ਕੋਸ) is undefeated and the mandatory challenger for Stevenson’s WBC belt, but he’ll face the toughest test of his career in Pascal (31-4-1, 18 ਕੋਸ), a former WBC 175-pound champion who has faced some of the world’s best light heavyweights over the past decade.
Here’s what the fighters had to say ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ:
Adonis Stevenson
“I’m ready because I know Fonfara is dangerous. We’re not underestimating him. I’ve prepared for everything, everything he brings in the ring I’ll be ready for it.
“I’m training for the knockout. Emanuel Steward always told me ‘knockouts sell.’ When I get in the ring I’m going for a knockout. It’s not an option for me to go 12 ਦੌਰ.
“I train for 12 ਦੌਰ, and if it goes 12 rounds he’s going to get punishment the whole time, but I definitely am going for the knockout.
“I see some things I can exploit in the ring.
“I won the first fight, and I know him very well. I know what he can do. I know he changed trainers. Virgil Hunter brings a lot of experience, I know he trains Andre Ward, and I know he’s very intelligent.
“I know Andrzej Fonfara from 12 rounds in the ring. He can’t change his style right now. He may show some improved defense, but after a couple of rounds it will be the old Fonfara.
“This fight will be different. I expect a knockout. I hurt my hand in our first fight, but now I’m fully healthy and I expect to knock him out.
“I know Fonfara is training hard to take my belt. I know he’s a tough fighter, and I know it’s not going to be easy for me.
“My goal is to unify the titles with the winner of (ਸਰਗੇਈ) Kovalev and (ਹੋਰ) ਵਾਰਡ. I want the unification, but if not I’ll make my mandatory. If Ward wins I want to fight him, if Kovalev wins I want to fight him. ਮੈਂ ਤਿਆਰ ਹਾਂ. "
Andrzej Fonfara
“I’m a much smarter fighter now. ਮਾਨਸਿਕ, I’m much strong and smarter.
“I bettered myself. Virgil (ਹੰਟਰ) has taught me a lot of new stuff. Some things worked in my last fight with Chad Dawson, some things didn’t. But that was our first fight together. Now I’m ready to show everything in this fight.
“I’ve had a lot of success against southpaws. I like fighting them. Chad Dawson was a southpaw, so the last two fights, the last four months, we prepared only for southpaws.
“I’m ready for the best Stevenson.
“My camp went well. Sparring was great. It’s my second full camp with Virgil Hunter and we’ve improved a lot since the first fight.
“I can’t make the same mistakes I did in our first fight. I must fight much smarter.
“Stevenson only has a good left hand. He’s the champ and he’s a good fighter, but his boxing isn’t amazing. He’s not easy, but he only has basic boxing skills. We must cut his left hand and be ready to throw my right. We need to control him.
“I must start good in the first round and let him know that I’m here to win the fight. And I’ll be the new champion.
“I’m always a fighter that goes forward and pushes guys back, but I am now ready to fight backwards if I need to. I’ll show the best Andrzej Fonfara this time.
“I’m going to win the fight. A world title is the only thing I’ve never had. I’ve imagined raising my hand after the fight and becoming the new WBC champion.”
“I’m ready to take the title. My time has come.
“I’m ready to be the new world champion and I’ll do that ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਤ ਨੂੰ. He wants the KO, and I want the KO, ਵੀ.
“I respect him because he’s the champ. I came here to show that, ਇਸ ਸਮੇਂ, I’m the better fighter.”
ELEIDER ALVAREZ
“He has a lot of experience, but experience can be negative sometimes. ਉਸ ਨੇ ਅਨੁਭਵ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ, but he has negative experiences and losses, ਵੀ. I don’t think it will be a factor ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਰਾਤ ਨੂੰ.
“My style will be an advantage. I’m taller, I have a longer reach, and a better jab. My footwork is better, ਵੀ. So I think my style is my advantage.
“I’m fully ready for my title shot. I’ve been ready for 18 ਮਹੀਨੇ, but for some reason it didn’t happen. I’m ready to face everybody. I’m probably in the toughest division in boxing right now, but once Stevenson comes I’ll be ready.
“I didn’t wait 18 months to become a world champion for nothing. I won’t give a victory to Pascal. I’ve waited for 18 months for my chance and I won’t give it to Pascal.
“Sparring with him (Pascal) is an advantage, but it was a long time ago and now he’s changed teams. So I don’t know what he’s done in his training camp this time.
“Marc (Ramsay) taught me some tricks, but I already know Jean Pascal because I trained with him and sparred with him for a while. It’s an advantage to have Marc, but it can be different and you never know what he’ll bring to the ring this time around.”
JEAN PASCAL
“Winning is the only option for me.
“I’ve been in some battles, but my tank is still full.
“I’ve faced way better opposition than him. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉੱਥੇ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, done that on the big stage. This is a big, big fight, and I’ve been here before. That’s the thing with experience – you can’t buy experience. You have to live it, and I’ve lived it many times. I’m ready to be on the big stage once again.
“Training camp went really well. I was with Roy Jones Jr. and Stephane Larouche and we stayed in Montreal for the whole camp. We had no injuries and we’re ready to go ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ.
“Sparring with Alvarez isn’t really an advantage for me. The last time we sparred was like two or three years ago. I know him, but he knows me also. I actually have two strikes against me – he knows me well, but his coach knows me by heart because he’s my former coach. But none of that matters. I’ve done my homework and I know what to do in the ring.
“Right now my focus is on Alvarez. After the referee raises my hand and we’ll see what’s next.”
