NEF WILL TAKE FIGHT FANS TO THE PROMISED LAND THIS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND
Льюистон, Мэн (Чэрвеня 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, Чэрвеня 18, 2016. The wildly popular fight promotion will once again give fans a full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing action.
In the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card, Брэндон “Гармата” Ягада (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger Джэймс “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1). The two fought to a draw on the judges’ scorecards this past April in Lewiston. They agreed to rematch with Berry’s title on the line. На гэты раз, аднак, there will be an odd number of rounds (seven to be exact) to make the chances of another draw very slim.
Also on the boxing portion of the card, former USA New England Middleweight Champion Расэл “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour (13-2) і Кейсі “The Buzzsaw” Kramlich (4-0-1) from the Portland Boxing Club in Portland, Maine will both make their respective NEF Boxing debuts.
The professional MMA portion of the card will see Джэсі “Viking” Эрыксан (6-5) return to the cage after his third unsuccessful attempt at capturing the lightweight title this past April. Erickson will have his work cut out for him in the form of the always tough Amos Collins (4-5) at a catchweight of 161-pounds.
Erickson’s teammate, Мэт “Кен Лялька” Деннинг (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) у полулегком бой.
The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a flyweight title rematch as Раян Берджесс (2-0) defends against the former champion, and the athlete he took the title from, Дастын Veinott (4-4). Veinott’s loss to Burgess last fall via split decision put a stop to his four-fight win streak.
Also on the amateur card will be 46 гадоў Доктар. Стыў выбуху, Sr. (1-1), a bariatric surgeon from Auburn, Мэн. In an unplanned homage to Father’s Day, he will be joined on the fight card by his sons Стыў выбуху, Малодшы. (3-5),Шон выбуху (1-1), Skyler Bang (0-0) and foster son Conner Murphy (1-0).

NO MORE DRAWS; THERE MUST BE A WINNER IN NORTHEAST TITLE FIGHT
Льюистон, Мэн (Мая 25, 2016) - New England Баі (NEF) вяртаецца да Androscoggin банка Colisée ў Льюистон, Мэн наЧэрвеня 18, 2016 з “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” The fight promotion will put on another full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) cagefights and pro boxing bouts. Раней сёння, NEF executives announced the headline fight for the boxing portion of the fight card. Захад Форкс, Maine’s own Брэндон “Гармата” Ягада (11-1-1) will put the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title on the line in a rematch against Detroit, Michigan’s Джэймс “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1).
Berry and Lester met earlier this spring at “NEF 22” Льюистон. The six-round bout was ruled a majority draw on the judges’ сістэмы паказчыкаў. This time around, аднак, NEF executives had a trick up their sleeves – add a seventh round to all but guarantee a winner.
Berry won the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title in October 2014 in Lewiston against West Virginia Toughman Champion Eric Palmer (4-3-3). He has been the kingpin of the 140-pound division in the Northeast ever since. The draw against Lester halted a three-fight win streak Berry had been on since returning from a shoulder injury last year.
“I think the main difference in a rematch between me and James will be more action,” Berry predicted. “We both know what we bring to the table, we both enjoy pleasing the crowd, and we both want to win. I think those are some key ingredients to a great matchup. I have a lot of respect for James , his boxing ability, and what he brings to the table. I was impressed with his speed, his all around toughness, and his ring generalship. I’m excited to headline another card in Lewiston, and can’t wait for the crowd to enjoy my fight, along with a few other boxing matches that include some talented Maine boxers. I hope that we can draw a big crowd and have a quality night of fights. See you all on the 18th!”
“I’m most definitely looking forward to fighting in Maine again,” said Lester, a former top-ranked national amateur boxer. “The fans there are awesome. I even gained a few fans from my last fight who’s been messaging me on a regular like a young guy by the name of Hunter Moore who messages me every week making sure I’m training hard for the rematch.”
Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where Thomas “Наёмную забойца” Хернс (61-5-1, 48 КО), Оскар Дэ Ла Хойя (39-6, 30 КО), Ленакс Льюіс (41-2-1, 32 КО) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 КО), сярод іншых, have prepared for world title bouts under legendary trainer, the late Emanuel Steward. “The only thing that will be different this time is I will be in better condition. That was my only downfall last time. This time I’ll be able to box and stay on my toes for the tough pressure that Brandon brings.”

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON
Льюистон, Мэн (Сакавіка 31, 2016) - New England Баі (NEF), Нумар адзін Рэгіянальнае прасоўванне барацьба Амерыкі, правядзе свой наступны падзея, “NEF 22: Усе дарогі вядуць ТУТ” на Субота, Красавіка 23, 2016 у Androscoggin банка Colisée ў Льюистон, Мэн. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Раней сёння, NEF абвясціла аб поўнай карты змагацца за падзеі. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.
On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Мэн, Брэндон “Гармата” Ягада(11-1, 7 КО) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 КО). Ягада, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.
That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Наёмную забойца” Хернс (61-5-1, 48 КО), Оскар Дэ Ла Хойя (39-6, 30 КО), Ленакс Льюіс (41-2-1, 32 КО) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 КО) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “спойлер” для “Гармата” and his legion of fans.
After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” У мінулым месяцы, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Бутин (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 КО). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.
Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will be Джэсі “Viking” Эрыксан (6-4) і Дэвін Паўэл (5-1) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.
“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview on The MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”
Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.
“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” сказаў NEF саўладальнік і прамоўтэр Нік DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”
“Crazy” і “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Лагодная жарт “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) і Мэт “Кен Лялька” Деннинг (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage on April 23rd.
The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate Аарон “Нястомны” Лэйсі (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Небіткія 2,0” Дэрэк Шори (3-5) у полулегком бой. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.
That title will not stay vacant very long as Калеб зала (6-3) і Erik Nelson (2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “NEF ХХ” Апошняя няўдача, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”
The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Анжэла Янг(0-1) і “Галівуд” Ханна Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

BOXING HEADLINER ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 22
Льюистон, Мэн (Лютага 22, 2016) - New England Баі (NEF), Нумар адзін Рэгіянальнае прасоўванне барацьба Амерыкі, правядзе свой наступны падзея, “NEF 22: Усе дарогі вядуць ТУТ” на Субота, Красавіка 22, 2016у Androscoggin банка Colisée ў Льюистон, Мэн. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Раней сёння, NEF announced the main event of the boxing portion of the “NEF 22” бой карты. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Брэндон “Гармата” Ягада (11-1, 7 КО) возьме на сябе James Lester (10-9, 4 КО) in a non-title, six-round bout at 140-pounds.
Ягада, the pride of small-town West Forks, Мэн, has shined since returning from a shoulder injury last year. He has won his last three in a row, including a technical knockout (СААЗ) stoppage of Tollison Lewis (2-1, 1 KO) earlier this month in Lewiston. The upcoming fight with Lester will see Berry return to his native 140-pound junior welterweight division for the first time since his injury. All three of his recent wins have come in the heavier welterweight and super welterweight divisions.
“April 23rd will be a big turning point in my boxing career,” said Berry when reached for comment. “This will be my fourth time headlining NEF’s boxing portion of the event, and I want to thank Nick (DiSalvo, NEF promoter), Мэт (Петэрсан, NEF matchmaker) and Pete (Czymbor, NEF Director of Boxing Operations) for the opportunity. I asked for a challenge and to make it back down to my regular fight weight of 140-pounds, and that’s what I’m getting with Detroit’s James Lester. I think the crowd will be very happy and impressed with the talent level James brings. This is a big test for me and I hope that with nine weeks to prepare it’s a test that I can pass. He brings so much to the table that can give me problems in the ring, so me showing up anything less than 100% will be unacceptable.
“I know that Tommy (Duquette), Ed (LaVache), Luke (Yetten) and the rest of Boston Boxing will push me to the limit and bring me into the ring prepared. James Lester has been around and fought some very good fighters. He had an amazing amateur career, and has spent years training at one of the most legendary boxing facility’s in the world, the Kronk Gym. Who doesn’t want to see this fight? See you all April 23rd, and as always thank you all so much for the amazing support. The tickets sales are unreal.”
As Berry noted, James Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym of Detroit, Мічыган. It was there he honed his craft alongside world champions like Thomas “Наёмную забойца” Хернс (61-5-1, 48 КО), Оскар Дэ Ла Хойя (39-6, 30 КО), Ленакс Льюіс (41-2-1, 32 КО) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 КО), назваць некалькі, under legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. Як аматар, Lester was ranked nationally at number-two. He competed against the likes of future Olympian Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 КО) and future WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell (28-1-1, 22 КО) while in the amateur ranks. The bout with Berry will mark the second time Lester has ventured to New England in his professional career. He competed on a card in Worcester, Massachusetts in 2011. Lester looks forward to making his return to the region.
“Fighting Brandon will be exciting, and I’m ready for anything he has to bring,” said Lester. “Fighting in New England was awesome a few years ago against Ryan Kielczewski (24-1, 7 КО). I met some real good people there and can’t wait to come put on a show for them again.”
