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 BoyLester (10-9-1). The two fought to a draw on the judgesscorecards this past April in Lewiston. They agreed to rematch with Berry’s title on the line. Lekhetlong lena, leha ho le joalo, 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 SensationLamour (13-2) le CaseyThe BuzzsawKramlich (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 Jese “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 Doll” Denning (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) 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 selemo se le seng Dr. Steve kekana Bang, Katha. (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 kekana Bang, Refresh. (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

Lewiston, Maine (Ka 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 ketsahalo, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” a Lewiston. Jese “The Viking” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) ka 185-boima ba lik'hilograma tse. 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. U se ke ua hopotse ntoeng ena!”

 

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 letšoao. Ka June 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

The fight fever is aboard me,” o ile a re 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 (March 31, 2016) - New England ho loana ka (NEF), Amerika oa nomoro ya-e mong o lebatowa ntoa ntshetsopele, tla ahlola hlahlamang ketsahalo, “NEF 22: Litsela tsohle LEBISANG MONA” ka Moqebelo, April 23, 2016 a le Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Pele ho moo kajeno, 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 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 “mosenyi” ho “The Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” khoeling e fetileng, 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 Jese “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) le 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,” a re NEF sebedisana mong'a le a ntsetsa pele 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” le “wilddo not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook OnHarvey (0-0) le Mat “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 Arone ba “Khaotseng” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) 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 Kaleb Hall (6-3) le 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” ho qetela ho oa, 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) le “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) ho Ithaca, New York.

BOYINGTON o HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH RAIO MATSATSI A PELE loantša: “Ke GONNA Kenang ka moo 'me mo timetsa”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England ho loana ka (NEF), Amerika oa nomoro ya-e mong o lebatowa ntoa ntshetsopele, tla ahlola eona ea leshome le metso e robeli e tsoakiloeng-sesole-bonono (MMA) ketsahalo, “NEF XVIII: Entsweng ho ya ka AMERICA,” ena Moqebelo bosiu, June 13, 2015 ka Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. Recently, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), le NEF MMA Professional bobebe Champion, le John “Pele Class” Ray(2-7) ile NEF khong-mong'a le matchmaker Matt Peterson ka e khethehileng “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, har'a tse ling dihlooho tse.

 

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 “letsoho le leqhubu.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington tsekisaneng hore o ne a feela ba a hoehla bo hae Fans a bongata hore tšoara o ne a sa ho etsa leha e le efe tšenyo e.

 

“Ke ka le bolella joang hore bosiu e ile ea fela,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ha e le hantle, 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, le ha ke ntse ke grabbed ka le letšehali bicep le ka le letšehali letsoho o ne a tla ka mor'a hlooho ea hae, le ref ile a khaotsa ho ntoeng ea ho loanela… Ke ne ke hloletsoe hore o ne a tapped hobane, ka botšepehi, Ke ne ke tseba hore ke ne ke e ngata hatella hae mohlahareng… Haeba a ha e le hantle o ile a tsoka, hore sucks bakeng sa hae.”

 

“A le boemong boo, Ke ho toba hopola Bickford ho sheba 'na, Ke tobana le fihlela, a etsahalang ka molaleng 'me ke tsoka,” re Boyington. “Mong le e mong qala purumang sebele phahameng le Ke sa hopola Bickford a re, 'Ha ho Bruce, u ka se ke ua re hore '… Haeba u nahana hore ke ho ikokobelletsa kapa ke le mathata kgotsa a ke ke a ho hema, you don’t tell the fighter, “U ka se ke ua re hore,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ke bona e ngata fapaneng lintho tse John a se boletseng online translations, le lintho tse ngata tseo batho ba bang ba o ile a re, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Pele ho Boyington ho fana ka ea hae khutlela, many felt he had been winning that first round. Ka 'Nete, 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.

 

“Joang kapa joang, Ke nahana hore John o ne a tla 'nile ka o ile a kokota tsoa,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ha ke nahane hore ke gonna gonna romela mo, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Ke nahana hore haeba ref aa ka a khaotsa ka nako eo, ha ke ne ke ka hae mohlahareng le ke forearm 'me ke ile fihla ka mor'a molaleng oa hae,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. E le, Ha ke nahane hore e ne e tla 'nile ka ile go ya bobedi ho pota.”

 

Matsatsing a, libeke le likhoeli ho latela loana, 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,” ka bobeli baatlelete ama ka seo katie ho bolela ho ba, le seo ba se hlokang ho paka ena tla mafelo-beke.

 

“Ke mpa feela ke ka se ke ua tsamaea ho na le le otla John,” re Boyington. “Esita le hae Fans ba lebella hore… Ke sitoa ho feela ea a ho na le ka June bo13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ke tseba seo, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, hobane tse ling letsoho la e sa esita le ho sebetsa hona joale… 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.

 

“A mabapi le Bruce qete 'na ka potlako, le ho etsa ho le bonolo, le ke hlile ke sa ho tšoenyeha mabapi le go lwa le ho hongata haholo, Ke mpa feela ke ba fumana ho le ho hloka tlhompho e le mengata ea lintho a oa re ho 'na, lelapa la ka le metsoalle ea ka e,” replied Raio. “Ho ne ho linako tse ling ka mor'a hore ho qetela loana ha batho ba ne ba congratulating 'na (ho 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. E le, ka mor'a hore hore ke o ile a re 'Bruce' me ke ha e hlile hase metsoalle ea hlola,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… empa ha batho ba hlomphollang 'na joaloka o na le ho thata hore ke tšoane le monna.”
