FAN-FAVORITE DREAM MATCH MORE THAN JUST FANTASY

Lewiston, Maine (Tej zaum 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 (NEF) for the fight promotion’s Lub rau hli ntuj 18 kev tshwm sim, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” nyob rau hauv Lewiston. Jesse “Lub Viking” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) ntawm 185-phaus. 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 atNEF22.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,” said 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. Tsis txhob nco no sib ntaus!”

 

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 cim. Nyob rau lub rau hli ntuj 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

The fight fever is aboard me,” hais tias 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

Lewiston, Maine (Lub peb hlis ntuj 31, 2016) - Tshiab England Fights (NEF), America lub xov tooj-ib regional sib ntaus qib, yuav tuav nws tom ntej no kev tshwm sim, “NEF 22: TAG NRHO txoj kev ua tau NTAWM NO” rau Saturday, Plaub Hlis Ntuj 23, 2016 nyob rau Androscoggin txhab nyiaj Colisée nyob rau hauv Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Nyuam qhuav pib hnub no, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. 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 “Lub 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 tsib 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 “spoiler” rau “Lub Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” lub hli tas los, 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 “Lub Viking” Erickson (6-4) thiab 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,” hais tias NEF co-tswv tsev thiab pab txhawb 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” thiab “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) thiab Matt “Ken menyuam roj hmab” 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 “Relentless” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) nyob rau hauv ib tug 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) thiab 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” kawg lub caij nplooj zeeg, 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 Hluas(0-1) thiab “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, cov lwm yam ntsiab lus.

 

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 “tes yoj.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington tau sib cav hais tias nws twb yuav luag taw mus rau nws lub kiv cua nyob rau hauv cov neeg coob coob hais tias cov tuav tsis ua tej yam puas tsuaj.

 

“Kuv yuav qhia rau koj yuav ua li cas hmo ntawd twb,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Yeej, 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, thiab raws li kuv tsawv nkaus kuv sab laug bicep thiab kuv sab tes laug twb yuav mus nyob tom qab nws lub taub hau, lub nyob nres kev sib ntaus… Kuv twb xav tsis thoob li hais tias nws tau tapped vim hais tias, honestly, Kuv paub hais tias kuv muaj ib tug ntau ntawm siab rau nws lub puab tsaig… Yog hais tias nyob rau hauv qhov tseeb nws yog waving, uas tsis zoo rau nws.”

 

“Nyob rau hauv uas qhov teeb meem no, Kuv yeej nco ntsoov Bickford saib kuv, Kuv lub ntsej muag li, nws yuav rau kuv lub caj dab thiab kuv waving,” hais tias Boyington. “Txhua leej txhua tus pib tsov tiag tiag nrov nrov thiab kuv nco ntsoov hais tias Bickford, 'Tsis yog Bruce, koj tsis tau hais tias '… Yog hais tias koj xav hais tias kuv xa los yog Kuv nyob rau hauv cov teeb meem los yog muaj peev xwm tsis ua pa, you don’t tell the fighter, “Koj tsis tau hais tias,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Kuv pom ib tug ntau ntawm txawv tej yam uas Yauhas tau hais tias online, thiab ib tug ntau ntawm tej yam uas lwm tus neeg tau hais tias, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Ua ntej yuav Boyington muab nws rov qab, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tseeb, 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.

 

“Inevitably, Kuv xav hais tias John yuav twb tau khob qhov rooj tawm,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Kuv tsis xav tias kuv yuav ua rau xa nws, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Kuv xav tias yog lub me nyob tsis tau nres thaum lub sij hawm, thaum kuv yog nyob rau hauv nws lub puab tsaig nrog kuv forearm thiab kuv twb ncav tom qab nws caj dab,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Yog li ntawd, Kuv tsis xav tias nws yuav twb ploj mus rau ib tug thib ob puag ncig.”

 

Nyob rau hauv lub hnub, lub lim piam thiab lub hlis tom qab lub sib ntaus, 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,” ob ncaws pob kov rau dab tsi lub rematch txhais tau hais tias lawv, thiab yog dab tsi lawv yuav tsum tau ua pov thawj no los lis xaus.

 

“Kuv cia li tsis tau mus nyob rau hauv muaj thiab yeej John,” hais tias Boyington. “Txawm nws tus kheej kiv cua cia siab tias yuav… Kuv yuav tsis cia li mus nyob rau hauv muaj nyob rau hauv Lub rau hli ntuj 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Kuv paub hais tias, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, vim hais tias cov lwm sab caj npab yog tsis txawm ua hauj lwm txoj cai tam sim no… 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.”

 

“Nyob rau hauv hais txog Bruce xov kuv sai sai, thiab ua rau nws yooj yim, thiab tsis tshua txhawj txog kev sib ntaus heev npaum li cas, Kuv cia li nrhiav nws tsis hwm zoo li ib tug ntau ntawm tej yam uas nws hais rau kuv tias, kuv tsev neeg thiab kuv cov phooj ywg,” replied Raio. “Muaj lub sij hawm tom qab kawg sib ntaus thaum cov neeg tau congratulating kuv (on 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.
