NEF WILL TAKE FIGHT FANS TO THE PROMISED LAND THIS FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Hunyo 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (Kaha) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, Hunyo 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, Brandon “Ang Cannon” Berry (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger Santiago “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. Kini nga panahon, Apan, 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 Russell “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour (13-2) ug Casey “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 Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (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, Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) diha sa usa ka featherweight bout.

 

The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a flyweight title rematch as Ryan Burgess (2-0) defends against the former champion, and the athlete he took the title from, Dustin 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 anyos nga Dr. Steve Bang, Sr. (1-1), a bariatric surgeon from Auburn, Maine. In an unplanned homage to Father’s Day, he will be joined on the fight card by his sons Steve Bang, Jr. (3-5),Shawn bang (1-1), Skyler Bang (0-0) and foster son Conner Murphy (1-0).

FAN-FAVORITE DREAM MATCH MORE THAN JUST FANTASY

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 19, 2016) – Since long before the dawn of the internet, sports fans have debated the outcome of fantasy meetings between beloved teams and athletes. What would happen if Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali met in their respective prime? Could the ’96 Bulls beat the ’86 Lakers? How would the bats of the ’27 Yankees fare against the starting rotation of the ’98 Braves? In mixed-martial-arts (MMA), presumably because the sport is so young, fantasy matchups are usually separated by weight classes as opposed to time.

 

Such is the case with the professional middleweight bout recently signed by New England Fights (Kaha) for the fight promotion’s Hunyo 18 event, “Kaha 24: PROMISED LAND,” sa Lewiston. Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) sa 185-libra. It is a fight that fans of both popular athletes never imagined they would see, and now it is happening.

 

Jesse Erickson was unsuccessful in his attempt to capture the vacant NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Title last month at “NEF22.” The loss to Devin Powell (6-1) put a halt to Erickson’s three-fight win streak. The upcoming bout with Boutin offers not only a chance for redemption, but a chance for Erickson to fight without going through the rigors of a strenuous weight cut.

 

“Crowsneck is someone who always puts on a good show,” Miingon Erickson. “I’m excited for the challenge and look forward to the cage door being locked with us inside. I truly enjoy getting in that cage and this show I’ll be doing it without the misery of cutting weight. Ayaw mingawon niini nga away!”

 

After losing two-in-a-row in the MMA cage and coming up with a draw in a pro boxing bout, Crowsneck Boutin scored a big victory last weekend over Ruben Redman (0-1) in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The win brought Boutin’s record back up to the .500 marka. Sa Hunyo 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

“The fight fever is aboard me,” miingon Boutin. “I’ll be ready to battle. Erickson is a bad ass, so I love this fight. From my perspective, it appears that our dark towers is one in the same.”

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marso 31, 2016) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, mopahigayon sa iyang mga sunod nga panghitabo, “Kaha 22: Tanang Dalan HERE” sa Sabado, Abril 23, 2016 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, Gipahibalo sa NEF ang hingpit nga away sa kard alang sa kalihokan. 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, Maine, Brandon “Ang Cannon” Berry(11-1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 KOs). Berry, 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 “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 KOs), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) 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 “maglalaglag” sa “Ang Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” sa miaging bulan, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 KOs). 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 Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (6-4) ug Devin Powell (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,” miingon ang kauban sa tag-iya sa NEF ug promoter nga si Nick 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” ug “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) ug Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (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 Aaron “Walay puas nga” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) diha sa usa ka featherweight bout. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Caleb Hall (6-3) ug 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 XX” katapusan nga pagkapukan, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Angela Young(0-1) ug “Hollywood” Ana Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

NEF TO OPEN 2016 WITH SPECTACULAR FIGHT CARD

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Enero 6, 2016) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, mopahigayon sa iyang mga sunod nga panghitabo, “Kaha 21: ANG imortal” sa Sabado, Pebrero 6, 2016 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, 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” Bishop (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 “Ang Cannon” 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” niini nga sa miaging Nobyembre.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) ug 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 “Ang Viking” Erickson (6-4) pagkuha sa Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight 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). Caleb Farrington (3-0) ugRicky Dexter (4-2) will decide the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion, samtang Henry Clark (3-1) ug Johnny Crafts (3-0) meet to determine the inaugural amateur bantamweight titleholder.

 

Dugang pa, Erin Lamonte (5-0) ug Randi Beth 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.

BOYINGTON MIADTO HEAD-SA-ULO SA RAIO ADLAW SA WALA PA sa pagpakig-away: “AKO mag GO SA ADUNAY UG LAGLAGON KANIYA”

Leave sa usa ka comment

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Hunyo 10, 2015) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, ang naghupot sa iyang ikanapulo ug walo nga mixed-martial arts (MMA) event, “NEF XVIII: GIHIMO SA AMERIKA,” karong Sabado sa gabii, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Bag-ohay lang, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), ang NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion, ug Juan “First Class” Ray(2-7) miduyog NEF co-tag-iya ug matchmaker Mat Peterson sa usa ka espesyal nga “Ulo-sa-Ulo” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, sa taliwala sa ubang mga hilisgutan.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “sa kamot nga halad.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington nakiglalis nga siya lamang nga nagtimaan sa iyang mga fans sa panon sa katawhan nga ang mga salipdanan nga sa dili pagbuhat sa bisan unsa nga kadaot.

 

“Ako makasulti kaninyo kon sa unsang paagi nga ang gabii natapos,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Batakan, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, ug ingon nga akong gibira ang akong wala nga bicep ug sa akong wala nga kamot nga moadto sa luyo sa iyang ulo, ang ref mihunong sa away… Ako natingala nga siya migamit tungod kay, sa matinud-anon, Ako nasayud nga ako adunay usa ka daghan sa pressure sa iyang apapangig… Kon sa pagkatinuod siya sa pagwarawara sa, nga mosuyop alang kaniya.”

 

“Sa niana nga kahimtang, Nahinumdom gyud ko Bickford tan-aw kanako, Ako atubang sa, siya na tungod sa akong liog ug ako magawarawara sa,” Miingon Boyington. “Tanan magsugod nagangulob tinuod nga kusog ug mahinumdum ako sa Bickford nagaingon, 'Dili Bruce, kamo dili makaingon nga '… Kon sa imong hunahuna nga ako pagtugyan sa o ako sa kagul-anan o dili makaginhawa, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ikaw dili ingon nga ang,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Aw ako sa usa ka daghan sa mga lain-laing mga butang nga si Juan miingon online, ug sa usa ka daghan sa mga butang sa ubang mga tawo miingon, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Wala pa Boyington sa paghatag sa iyang likod, many felt he had been winning that first round. Sa pagkatinuod, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Dili kalikayan, Akong hunahuna Juan na nanuktok sa,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Sa akong hunahuna wala ko mag magpasakop kaniya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Akong hunahuna kon ang ref wala mohunong sa panahon, sa diha nga ako diha sa iyang apapangig sa akong bukton ug ako-ot sa luyo sa iyang liog,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Busa, Ako wala maghunahuna nga kini lang unta na ngadto sa usa ka ikaduha nga round.”

 

Sa mga adlaw, mga semana ug mga bulan sa pagsunod sa mga away, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” ang duha mga atleta mihikap sa kon unsa ang rematch ngadto kanila, ug unsa ang ilang kinahanglan nga mapamatud-an niini nga umaabot nga hinapos sa semana.

 

“Ako lang dili makasulod didto ug gibunalan Juan,” Miingon Boyington. “Bisan ang iyang kaugalingong mga fans nagpaabut nga… Ako dili lang didto sa Hunyo ika-13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Nasayud ko nga ang, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, tungod kay ang uban nga mga bukton wala bisan nagtrabaho karon… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Sa bahin sa Bruce paghuman kanako sa madali, ug sa paghimo niini nga sayon, ug dili tinuod nga ang kabalaka sa mga away sa daghan kaayo nga, Ko lang way batasan sama sa sa usa ka daghan sa mga butang nga siya miingon kanako, ang akong pamilya ug sa akong mga higala,” replied Raio. “May mga higayon nga human sa katapusan nga away sa diha nga ang mga tawo pagpahalipay kanako (sa Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Busa, human nga ako miingon nga 'Bruce ug ako dili tinuod nga mga higala na,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… apan sa diha nga ang mga tawo walay pagtahod sa kanako nga siya dunay kini malisud nga sa sama sa lalaki.”
