NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP
NAFAHANA avy hatrany: Lewiston, Maine (Aprily 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England ady (NEF) Mifangaro Martial Arts (MMA) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Manja 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’ vazivazy, 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 mamatonalina 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 “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) ary Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: MANAMPY ANTSIKA REHETRA LALANA HERE” 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,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker 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. Ankehitriny, 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. Na izany aza, 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.”
The 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!”

He has won six of his last seven in the MMA cage, ary mihazona fandresena iray hafa ao amin'ny NEF ady totohondry peratra nandritra ny Mazava ho azy fa ny izay mihazakazaka.
“Aho, dia tsy te-ho Jon Lemke niakatra ho any an izany tranom-borona tamiko marina momba izao, izay no mieritreritra aho, Raha olona manao ny marina aho,” Said Boyington. “Tsy tena mahatakatra ny antony mety te ho ady amiko amin'izao fotoana izao, ary mino aho fa izy no haneho ka hanome ny tsara indrindra ezaka, Fa tsy tiako tsy te-hiady ahy amin'izao fotoana izao.

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. Izany dia nitranga ho ny ady mafy izay mpankafy ny tsy ho te-hanadino, dia mahazo ny tapakila dia tonga teo.”

NEF XX KARATRA ARA-ADY HO ZAVA endri-javatra Vehivavy BOUT
Lewiston, Maine (Septambra 15, 2015) - New England ady (NEF), Amerika isa-paritra iray ady fampiroboroboana, dia hanao ny hetsika manaraka, “NEF XX: A TANTARAN'NY HERISETRA” amin'ny Asabotsy, Novambra 21, 2015 tao amin'ny Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mifangaro-miaramila-kanto (MMA) 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 Asabotsy alina amin'ny “NEF XIX,” the MMA portion of the card is scheduled to feature an amateur strawweight women’s bout between Randi Beth Boyington (1-1) ary Erin “Fun Size” LAMONTE (3-0).
Boyington dia ny vadin'i nanjaka NEF MMA Professional maivana Champion Bruce “Manja Boy” Boyington (10-8) izay ho amin'ny hetsika ihany koa ny Novambra 21 karatra. Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) niarahana niombon-kevitra amin'ny alalan'ny fanapahan-kevitra amin'ny “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, ary koa ny amin'ny Young ny MMA in Bangor, Maine.
“Faly aho ho tafidina any an-tranom-borona indray tamin'ny Novambra – fa zavatra aho miandrandra,” hoy Randi Beti Boyington rehefa tonga ho an'ny fanehoan-kevitra. “Erin nanantena aho mba ho sarotra mpanohitra, 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, nandresy Angela Theriault (0-1) ara-teknika avy amin'ny fihodinana voalohany knockout (WHO). 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 onNovambra 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.
“Tena faly aho ny farany ho indray ao amin'ny tranom-borona teo November 21, miady Randi Beth Boyington,” stated Lamonte. “Rehefa afaka fotoana lava eny noho ny fahaterahan'ny zanakay, 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, ny reny liom-bavy dia iray amin'ireo masiaka sy natahotra indrindra ao amin'ny biby.”
