NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP
VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Lewiston, Maine (April 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England Fights (NEF) Mixed Martial Arts (Plaasmoorde) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (13-8) took to Facebook to notify his fans that he had vacated the title belt. Some speculated that it could be an April Fools’ grap, but those rumors were later quelled when Boyington himself stated under the thread that his decision had been made for personal and medical reasons, citing recent surgeries and a host of longstanding injuries.
“After one of the most inspirational and exhilarating rides of my life, I have talked with my wife, my coaching staff and teammates and have decided it’s now time to let go of one chapter and turn the page for another,” Boyington stated when reached for official comment. “NEF has been there for me since the start and I couldn’t ask for a better group to get me where I want to go. I like the thought of vacating the belt on top and handing it off to one of my teammates, hopefully Josh Harvey (0-0) and I will be excited to watch a couple other lightweight warriors going after the strap. Obviously Jon Lemke has quite a claim to that shot and I see my friend Jesse Erickson in the mix as well. Whatever should happen, I will always cherish every battle I’ve had in the NEF cage. Thank you sincerely to Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo.”
NEF executives acted quickly and formulated a plan by middernag to fill the title that sits atop the fight promotion’s most hotly contested professional division. As a new day dawned, that plan had come to fruition.
“Bruce was a great champion,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “He was the face of this promotion for two years. The 155-pound title is our most coveted championship and there is no shortage of worthy challengers. The decision to fill it as soon as possible was an easy one to make.”
Jesse “Die Viking” Erickson (6-4) en Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: Alle paaie lei HIER” to crown a new champion. The bout was already signed as a non-title three-rounder to headline the MMA portion of the April 23rd fight card in Lewiston, Maine. Both athletes quickly agreed to go five rounds with the title on the line. Both athletes have each won their last three fights in a row respectively.
“I am honored to be able to fight for the title which I saw Bruce Boyington recently defend against Jon Lemke (5-4) in the best local fight I’ve ever gotten to see,” said Powell. “I hope Jesse and I can put on a show for the fans that can be talked about for years to come. I’ve been training too hard and too long to not hop on this opportunity. I can’t wait to get in that cage April 23rdin front of an always amped up NEF crowd!”
Speaking of Lemke, NEF executives placed one condition on the upcoming Erickson-Powell bout – the winner must make his first defense of the lightweight title against Lemke. Lemke lost a very close split decision in an attempt to claim the title from Boyington earlier this year. That fight has been called “the greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cage” by many observers.
“Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21’ was nothing short of epic. I was completely spellbound watching that fight for the full 25-minutes it was contested. It’s a bittersweet time at NEF. Bruce was a great fighting champion and despite the high stakes every time he stepped into the cage, he was always one of the most active competitors on the NEF roster. Bruce’s warrior spirit and memorable performances in the NEF cage will be dearly missed, but we are fortunate to have so many superb athletes waiting in the wings right behind him to fill that void. There will be no shortage of upcoming action in the NEF lightweight division.”
“It was a privilege and honor to fight Bruce for the lightweight title,” stated Lemke when reached for comment. “After the fight, I was pretty confident I did enough to win. Nou, after watching the fight numerous times, there is no doubt in my mind that I won that fight. If Bruce doesn’t want to fight me again and vacate his belt, I understand and respect that decision. Egter, I am hungrier than ever and want what I believe is rightfully mine. It would be an honor to fight the winner of Erickson versus Powell for the title and I very much look forward to it.”
Die April 23rd bout will be Jesse Erickson’s third attempt to capture the lightweight title. He had competed against Boyington twice previously unsuccessfully for the championship.
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to compete once again for the NEF lightweight title,” stated Erickson. “I was embarrassed postponing my first fight with Devin due to injury, but it seems everything happens for a reason. To bleed for gold and glory. My Viking ancestors would be proud. Give me the battle I crave, Devin. Victory or Valhalla!”

NEF TO OPEN 2016 WITH SPECTACULAR FIGHT CARD
Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 6, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.
A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening. Joel “Baby Bull” Biskop (0-0-1) returns to action after more than a year’s absence to face MMA regular Crowsneck BOUTIN (0-0) in a light-heavyweight four-round bout. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Die kanon” Berry (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, non-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” die afgelope November.
The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) en Jon Lemke (5-3). Dubbed “The Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.
The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “Die Viking” Erickson (6-4) neem op Devin Powell (4-1) in 'n liggewig matchup. Powell returns to the NEF cage for the first time since May 2014, while Erickson will be looking for his fourth consecutive win in Lewiston.
A total of three title fights will headline the amateur MMA side of the card. Young’s MMA standout Josh Harvey (5-1) defends his lightweight title against Florida’s Andrew “Ling-Ling” Tamayo (8-1). Kaleb Farrington (3-0) enRicky Dexter (4-2) will decide the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion, terwyl Henry Clark (3-1) en Johnny Crafts (3-0) meet to determine the inaugural amateur bantamweight titleholder.
Daarbenewens, Erin Lamonte (5-0) en Randi Bet Boyington (1-2) are scheduled to face off in a women’s MMA bout. It will be a rematch of a contest won by Lamonte at “NEF XX.” Boyington’s supporters in the audience felt that the referee stopped the bout prematurely as Boyington was about to break out of, or had already broken out of, Lamonte’s armbar submission. After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.

FINALLY! LONG-AWAITED BATTLE FOR BANGOR TO TAKE PLACE AT NEF 21
Lewiston, Maine (Desember 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the main event of the MMA portion of the fight card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) sal die NEF MMA Professionele Liggewig Championship verdedig teen die uitdaging van nommer een aanspraakmaker Jon Lemke (5-3). Both Boyington and Lemke are veterans of the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
Boyington is riding high on a three-fight win streak. Earlier this fall, Hy het sy debuut op die nasionale stadium, verslaan Rodrigo Almeida (13-3) op 'n World Series of Veg (WSOF) card in Connecticut. Boyington followed up that win with a decisive third-round TKO victory over Jimmy Davidson (7-2) verlede maand by “NEF XX” in a successful defense of his title. A product of Young’s MMA, en die hoof van Boyington se Taekwondo Academy, albei geleë in Bangor, Maine, Boyington is op 'n onstuitbare traan sedert verlies van 'n nie-titelgeveg om Jamie Harrison (6-1) early in 2015. He has won six of his last seven in the MMA cage, en hou nog 'n oorwinning in die NEF bokskryt gedurende die loop van daardie lopie.
“Ek wil nie te wees Jon Lemke gaan in daardie hok met my reg oor die nou, dit is wat ek dink, as ek eerlik,” Said Boyington. “Ek het nie regtig verstaan hoekom hy 'n stryd met my nou wil, en ek glo hy sal opdaag en gee sy beste poging, maar ek wil nie my veg nou. Ek is gevaarlik, en my vertroue is deur die dak en wanneer dit is soos hierdie, dit gaan om 'n wêreldklas-atleet neem om my te stop, en my fokus hierdie hele kamp sal wees op oorblywende nederig en gefokus. Wanneer 6 Februarie kom, Ek sal die mees gevaarlike Bruce Boyington wat nog ooit trap voet in die hok, en ek weet as ek wil wees daar nou, Ek is regtig honger te wees deur toe.”
The bout is one that Maine fight fans have waited a long time to see. Boyington and Lemke have stood atop the NEF lightweight division together for several years now, their careers paralleling one another. With Lemke competing out of Marcus Davis’ Span Ierse in die nabygeleë Brewer, Maine, die kruis-gemeente mededinger van Young se MMA, Boyington and Lemke seemed like natural rivals. But they often passed like ships in the night, and the stars never aligned for an encounter between the two. That was until “NEF XX” verlede maand toe, net oomblikke voordat Boyington geneem het om die hok teen Davidson, Lemke oorwin Matt Denning (2-1) in that evening’s co-main event. It was an impressive performance that saw Lemke overwhelm a game Denning as the first round went on. With both Lemke and Boyington scheduled to appear on the February card, en nie nadat 'n teenstander onderteken, was die tyd ryp vir die “Stryd vir Bangor,” as ondersteuners het dit genoem, om uiteindelik plaasvind.
“Ek is so ongelooflik dankbaar en opgewonde om te veg vir NEF weer en veral 'n geleentheid om te veg vir die titel,” gesê Lemke. “Diegene wat my storie ken, weet wat 'n lang pad het dit vir my, which makes it all the more special. Bruce is the man and has done a phenomenal job promoting himself as champion, and in the process brought a lot of attention to the rest of the MMA community in the area. He has a couple of titles with different promotions and had fights on the national stage. He presents a unique and explosive set of challenges that I very much look forward to rising up and meeting that challenge head on. Dit gaan 'n groot stryd wat aanhangers nie gaan wil misloop nie, so kry jou kaartjies en kom op sit.”
“Ek weet nie of daar is 'n enkele geveg fans vra ons om meer as een te sien hierdie,” exclaimed NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Dit lyk asof ten minste 'n paar keer 'n week is ons om boodskappe te vra 'wanneer gaan ons die stryd vir die Bangor tussen Lemke en Boyington sien?’ Wel, dit gebeur opFebruarie 6 at ‘NEF 21,’ en almal binne ons organisasie is net so opgewonde soos die ondersteuners om dit te sien!”
“Die terug storie om hierdie bout is ongelooflik,” verklaar NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “Niks is vervaardig – it’s completely authentic and gut wrenching. This fight has been a long time coming, en ek het 'n gevoel dat die lood-in 6 Februarie sal wees anders as enigiets wat ons ooit gesien het in die aftelling na 'n konfrontasie van hierdie omvang, waar soveel meer as net spog regte is op die lyn.”

The event will feature a first for Maine – gemengde martial arts- (Plaasmoorde) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Saterdag nag by “NEF XIX,” the MMA portion of the card is scheduled to feature an amateur strawweight women’s bout between Randi Bet Boyington (1-1) en Erin “Fun Size” LAMONTE (3-0).
Boyington is die vrou van die huidige NEF MMA Professionele liggewigkampioen Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) wat ook in aksie sal wees op die November 21 kaart. Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) via 'n eenparige besluit op “NEF XVII.” The crowd in the Colisée was on fire as the bout went back and forth through three hard-fought rounds. Randi trains under her husband at Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, asook by Young se MMA in Bangor, Maine.
“Ek is opgewonde om versterking terug in die hok in November – dit is iets wat ek sien uit daarna om,” gesê Randi Bet Boyington wanneer vir kommentaar bereik word. “Ek verwag 'n taai Erin teenstander wees, and I’m training as such. I never underestimate someone’s ability. I know what I’m bringing to the cage as well and NEF fans will be impressed in November. Fighting on the same night as my husband is a bonus. We’re both hungry to have our hands raised at the end of our fights. I don’t think many others could understand or appreciate the emotions that a couple share until they go through a training camp to fight on the same card.”
Erin Lamonte is not a stranger to the NEF cage. She appeared for the promotion in early 2013, verslaan Angela Thériault (0-1) via eerste ronde tegniese uitklophou (WIE). Lamonte was victorious twice more that year before taking time off from competing to have a baby with her husband Casey. Returning to the cage onNovember 21, it will have been nearly two years since the undefeated Lamonte won her last bout on a fight card in West Virginia. She has been eager to return to action for some time.
“Ek is baie opgewonde om uiteindelik terug in hok op 21 November, veg Randi Bet Boyington,” stated Lamonte. “Na 'n lang tyd af as gevolg van die geboorte van ons seun, I am itching to get back to training and competing. Time to prove that the new and improved mama Fun Size can still kick ass. After all, die moeder leeuwyfie is een van die mees verlate en gevrees in die diereryk.”
