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

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (Nef) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, Jen 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 “Cannon an” Berry (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger James “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. Fwa sa a,, sepandan, 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) ak 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 Izayi “Viking a” 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 poupe” Denning (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) nan yon bout plum.

 

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 ane-fin vye granmoun 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

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Me 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 Jen 18 evènman, “Nef 24: PROMISED LAND,” nan Lewiston. Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) a 185-liv. 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,” 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. Pa manke sa a batay!”

 

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 make. Nan mwa jen 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

“The fight fever is aboard me,” di 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

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 31, 2016) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe evènman pwochen li yo, “Nef 22: Tout wout mennen isit la” sou Samdi, Avril 23, 2016 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (Mma) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, 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 “Cannon an” Berry(11-1, 7 Ko) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 Ko). 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 “Itman” HEARNS (61-5-1, 48 Ko), Oscar De La oya (39-6, 30 Ko), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Ko) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Ko) 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 “beke” to “Cannon an” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “Nef 21” mwa pase a, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 Ko). 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 Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (6-4) ak 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,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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” ak “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) ak Matt “Ken poupe” 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 Arawon “Inplakabl” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Enkasabl 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) nan yon bout plum. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Kalèb Hall (6-3) ak 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” otòn dènye, 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) ak “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “Nef XIX.”

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 “Ti bebe ti towo bèf” 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 “Cannon an” 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” sa a Novanm sot pase.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (12-8) ak 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 Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (6-4) pran sou 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.

Earlier today, pwomosyon an te anonse kat la batay pou evènman an prezante yon adwaz plen nan pwofesyonèl ak amatè matchups mma.

 

Se evènman an justesse ki gen tit “Rezidan” as it will feature the returns of several athletes who have either been recently inactive or competing outside the NEF umbrella. One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) soti nan Ithaca, New York. Maine and the NEF cage became a home-away-from-home for Heyliger and several of his Bombsquad teammates during the early days of the promotion. Heyliger competed regularly for NEF in 2012 and early 2013. His last appearance in the cage was in May 2013 kont Marcus “Ilandè men grenad a” Davis (22-11) nan evènman an prensipal la “Nef VII.” Heyliger will make his return on Septanm 12 kont Brandon Chagnon (5-4) nan Sityodtong.

 

Bò la pwofesyonèl nan kat la pral tou prezante Homecoming a Matt “Ken poupe” Denning (1-0) after a 10-month extended layoff from action.

Sou bò amatè nan kat la, Josh Harvey (4-1) is scheduled to headline in the first defense of his NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title. Harvey will meet the stiff challenge of Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-2) soti nan Ekip Triumph / Boston BJJ Jan byen renmen la nan Nashua, New Hampshire. Harvey won the vacant title this past June with a first-round submission of Ricky Dexter (3-1).

 

Pòsyon nan amatè nan kat la pral tou prezante pa yon sèl, but two women’s contests. Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine will be represented in both bouts with Angela Young (0-0) ak Kira Innocenti (0-0) making their respective debuts.

BOYINGTON PASE tèt-a-tèt ak RAIO JOU anvan batay: “Mwen pral antre nan peyi a ak detwi l '”

Kite yon kòmantè

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 10, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made In America,” sa a Samdi lannwit, Jen 13, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Dènyèman, headliners Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-8), nef mma Pwofesyonèl lejè chanpyon an, ak Jan “Premye Gwoup” Ray(2-7) Joined nef ko-pwopriyetè ak promoteur Matt Peterson sou yon espesyal “Tèt-a-tèt” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, nan mitan lòt sijè.

 

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 “men onn.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington te rale ke li te senpleman siyal fanatik li nan mitan foul moun la ki kenbe la pa te ap fè nenpòt domaj.

 

“Mwen ka di ou ki jan, jou swa sa te fini,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Fondamantalman, 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, ak jan mwen te pwan biceps gòch mwen ak men gòch mwen te ale dèyè tèt li, ref la sispann batay la… Mwen te sezi ke li te eksplwatè paske, onètman, Mwen te konnen ke mwen te gen yon anpil nan presyon sou machwè l '… Si an reyalite li te leve, ki absorb pou l '.”

 

“Nan ki sitiyasyon, Mwen espesifikman sonje Bickford gade nan m ', Mwen se fè fas a moute, li te ale pou kou m epi mwen leve,” Di Boyington. “Tout moun kòmanse Roaring reyèl byen fò ak mwen sonje Bickford di, 'Pa gen Bruce, ou pa ka di ke '… Si ou panse ke mwen soumèt oswa mwen se nan pwoblèm oswa ou pa ka respire, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ou pa ka di ke,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mwen wè yon bann bagay sa yo diferan ki Jan te di sou entènèt, ak yon anpil nan bagay sa yo lòt moun yo te di, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Anvan yo fè Boyington bay moute do l ', many felt he had been winning that first round. Vreman vre, 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.

 

“Fatalman, Mwen panse ke Jan ta ve yo te frape soti,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Mwen pa panse mwen pral soumèt l ', because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mwen panse ke si ref la pa t 'sispann nan moman an, lè m 'te sou machwè l' ak avanbra mwen epi mwen te rive dèyè kou l ',” Ray espekile, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Se konsa,, Mwen pa panse ke li ta te ale nan yon dezyèm tou.”

 

Nan jou sa yo, semèn ak mwa ki vini apre batay la, 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 Atik,” tou de atlèt manyen sou sa rematch a vle di yo, ak sa yo bezwen pwouve nan fen semèn sa a ap vini.

 

“Mwen jis pa ka antre nan peyi a ak bat Jan,” Di Boyington. “Menm fanatik pwòp tèt li ap tann ki… Mwen pa ka jis ale nan gen sou June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Mwen konnen ke, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, paske lòt bra a se pa menm k ap travay kounye a… 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.”

 

“Nan sans Bruce fini m 'byen vit, ak fè li fasil, epi yo pa vrèman mangonmen sou batay la twòp, Mwen jis jwenn li derespektan tankou yon bann bagay sa yo li te di m ', fanmi m ak zanmi m ',” replied Raio. “Te gen fwa apre batay ki sot pase a lè moun yo te remersye m ' (sou 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. Se konsa,, apre ke mwen te di 'Bruce ak mwen yo se pa reyèlman zanmi ankò,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… men lè moun ki mank respè m 'tankou li te gen li difisil renmen nèg la.”
