NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP

Para divulgación inmediata: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. Loitas de Nova Inglaterra (NEF) Artes marciais Mixtas (MMA) 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’ broma, 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 medianoite 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,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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 “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) e Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” 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 calledthe greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cageby many observers.

 

Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21was 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. Agora, 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. Con todo, 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.”

 

O 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!”

O equipo executiva da NEF ten unha ampla experiencia na xestión de deportes de combate, produción de eventos, relacións con a mídia, marketing, legal e publicidade.

Finalmente! LONG-AWAITED BATTLE FOR BANGOR TO TAKE PLACE AT NEF 21

Lewiston, Maine (Decembro 8, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 21: Os inmortais” en Sábado, Febreiro 6, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the main event of the MMA portion of the fight card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) vai defender o Profesional leve Campionato NEF MMA contra o reto de número un contedor 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, fixo súa estrea no escenario nacional, defeating Rodrigo Almeida (13-3) nunha World Series of Fighting (WSOF) card in Connecticut. Boyington followed up that win with a decisive third-round TKO victory over Jimmy Davidson (7-2) o mes pasado, “NEF XX” in a successful defense of his title. A product of Young’s MMA, ea cabeza de Taekwondo Academy de Boyington, ambos situados en Bangor, Maine, Boyington foi nunha bágoa imparable desde que perdeu unha loita non-título para Jamie Harrison (6-1) early in 2015. He has won six of his last seven in the MMA cage, e ten unha vitoria no arena de boxeo NEF durante o curso deste prazo.

 

“Non quere estar Jon Lemke entrando nesa gaiola comigo agora mesmo, iso é o que eu estou pensando, se eu estou sendo honesto,” Dixo Boyington. “Realmente non entendo por que ía querer unha pelexa comigo agora, e eu creo que vai aparecer e dar o seu mellor esforzo, pero eu non quere loitar comigo agora. Eu son perigoso, e miña confianza é a través do tellado e cando é así, vai levar un atleta de clase mundial para me deixar, e meu foco todo este campamento será en permanecer humilde e centrado. Cando 06 de febreiro vén, Eu vou ser o máis perigoso Bruce Boyington que xa pisou na gaiola, e sei que se quero estar alí agora, Realmente vou estar con fame ata entón.”

 

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’ Equipo irlandesa en Brewer preto, Maine, o rival de cruz-cidade de MMA de Young, 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” o mes pasado cando, só momentos antes Boyington levou á gaiola contra Davidson, Lemke vencido 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, e nin asinando un adversario, o tempo estaba maduro para o “Battle for Bangor,” como os fans o apelidaram, para finalmente ter lugar.

“Estou tan incrible grata e animado para loitar para NEF unha vez e, sobre todo, unha oportunidade de loitar polo título,” dixo Lemke. “Os que coñecen a miña historia sabe o que un longo camiño este foi para min, 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. Esta vai ser unha gran loita que os fans non van querer perder, para obter as entradas e imos para abaixo.”

 

“Non sei se hai fans única loita nos piden para ver máis do que este,” exclaimed NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Parece que polo menos algunhas veces por semana estamos a recibir mensaxes preguntando 'cando é que imos ver a batalla para Bangor entre Lemke e Boyington?’ Ben, isto está a suceder enFebreiro 6 at ‘NEF 21,’ e todo o mundo dentro da nosa organización é tan animado como os fans para velo!”

 

“A historia de volta para esta loita é incrible,” co-propietario afirmou NEF e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Nada é fabricado – it’s completely authentic and gut wrenching. This fight has been a long time coming, e eu teño un sentimento de que o lead-in para 06 de febreiro será diferente de todo o que xa presenciei na conta atrás para un enfrontamento desta magnitude, onde moito máis que só dereitos de gabar están na liña.”
