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

Kusiya ndemanga

Lewiston, Maine (June 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, June 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 “The Cannon” 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. Nthawiyi, Komabe, 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) ndipo 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 “The 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, Mat “Ken zidole” Denning (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) mu featherweight podwala.

 

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 chaka chimodzi 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

Kusiya ndemanga

Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 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 June 18 chochitika, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” mu Lewiston. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) pa 185-mapaundi. 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. Musaphonye nkhondoyi!”

 

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 chilemba. Pa June 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

“The fight fever is aboard me,” anati 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

Kusiya ndemanga

Lewiston, Maine (March 31, 2016) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake lotsatira chochitika, “NEF 22: Zipembedzo Zonse Zimatsogolera PANO” pa Loweruka, April 23, 2016 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisée mu Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Poyambirira lero, 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 “The Cannon” 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 “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Ko), Oscar De La Hoya (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 “zoyambilira” kuti “The Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” mwezi watha, 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 Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) ndipo 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,” anati NEF omasuliridwa mwini kulimbikitsa 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” ndipo “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) ndipo Mat “Ken zidole” 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 “Osatekeseka” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) mu featherweight podwala. 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) ndipo 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” otsiriza kugwa, 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) ndipo “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

Kusiya ndemanga

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Analengedwa AMERICA,” izi Loweruka usiku, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Posachedwapa, headliners Bruce “Wokongola Boy” Boyington (10-8), ndi NEF MMA Professional opepuka Ngwazi, ndipo John “Choyamba Maphunziro” Ray(2-7) anagwirizana NEF omasuliridwa mwini matchmaker Mat Peterson pa wapadera “Mutu ndi Mutu” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, Mwa zina mitu.

 

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 “dzanja yoweyula.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington walimbana kuti chabe posonyeza ake mafani mu Khamu kugwira sanali kuchita mavuto.

 

“Ine ndikhoza kukuuzani inu momwe usiku umenewo unatha,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Kwenikweni, 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, ndipo pamene ine ndinachita lamanzere bicep ndi kumanzere kwanga dzanja anali kupita kumbuyo mutu wake, ndi ref anasiya nkhondo… Ndinadabwa kuona kuti liyimbidwa chifukwa, moona mtima, Ndinadziwa kuti anali zambiri chiyeso nsagwada… Ngati Ndipotu iye anali kugwedezeka, kuti imayamwa iye.”

 

“Pa zinthu, Ine makamaka kumbukirani Bickford akuyang'ana pa ine, Ine ndiri nawo, iye anga khosi ndi ine m'mwamba,” Anati Boyington. “Aliyense kuyamba wobangula weniweni mokweza ndipo ndikukumbukira kuti Bickford, 'No Bruce, inu simungakhoze kunena kuti '… Ngati inu mukuganiza kuti ine kugonjera kapena ndine mavuto sangathe kupuma, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inu simungakhoze kunena kuti,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ine ndikuwona zochuluka zosiyanasiyana zimene John wanena Intaneti, ndi zinthu zambiri anthu ena mwanena, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Isanafike Boyington kupereka wake mmbuyo, many felt he had been winning that first round. Poyeneradi, 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.

 

“Amatipeza, Ine ndikuganiza Yohane akanakhala kugonja,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ine sindikuganiza ine ndiri adza kugonjera iye, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Ine ndikuganiza ngati ref sanaime pa nthawi, pamene ndinali pa masaya anga mkono ndipo ine ndinali kufika kumbuyo khosi lake,” Ray ankati, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Choncho, Ine sindikuganiza kuti akanati atapita ku kubwera kwachiwiri.”

 

M'masiku, masabata ndi miyezi kutsatira nkhondo, 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,” onse othamanga anakhudza zimene rematch zikutanthauza kuti iwo, ndi chimene iwo ayenera kutsimikizira izi sabata ikubwera.

 

“Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo nampanda John,” Anati Boyington. “Ngakhale wake mafani akuyembekezera kuti… Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo pa June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ndikudziwa zimenezo, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, thangwi mkono si ngakhale ntchito pakali pano… 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.”

 

“Pa nkhani Bruce kumaliza ine msanga, ndi kupanga mosavuta, ndipo si kudandaula za kulimbana kwambiri, Ine kupeza izo ulemu ngati zinthu zambiri iye anandiuza, banja langa ndi anzanga,” replied Raio. “Nthawi zina pambuyo otsiriza nkhondo pamene anthu achilimbikitso ine (pa 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. Choncho, pambuyo Ine ndinati 'Bruce ndi ine si mabwenzi panonso,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… koma pamene anthu amanyoza ine ngati ali zimakhala zovuta ngati munthuyo.”
