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

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

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. Ni akoko yi, sibẹsibẹ, 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) ati 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 “Awọn 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) ni a featherweight ija.

 

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 odun kan 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

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

Lewiston, Maine (Le 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 ìṣẹlẹ, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” in Lewiston. Jesse “Awọn Viking” Erickson (6-5) will move up two weight classes to face Crowsneck Boutin (2-2) ni 185 poun-. 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. Maa ko padanu yi ija!”

 

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 ami. Lori June 18, he will have the opportunity to add another notch to the win column.

 

“The fight fever is aboard me,” wi 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

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

Lewiston, Maine (March 31, 2016) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-tókàn iṣẹlẹ, “NEF 22: GBOGBO ona ja nibi” lori Saturday, April 23, 2016 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Sẹyìn loni, NEF kede ni kikun ija kaadi fun awọn iṣẹlẹ. 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 “afiniṣeijẹ” si “The Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “21 NEF” osu to koja, 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 “Awọn Viking” Erickson (6-4) ati 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,” wi NEF àjọ-eni ati olugbeleke 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” ati “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) ati 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 “Oró” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) ni a featherweight ija. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Kalebu Hall (6-3) ati 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” kẹhin isubu, 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) ati “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. Sẹyìn loni, 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 “The 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” yi ti o ti kọja Kọkànlá Oṣù.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Lẹwa Ọmọkùnrin” Boyington (12-8) ati 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 “Awọn Viking” Erickson (6-4) mu lori 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). Kalebu Farrington (3-0) atiRicky Dexter (4-2) will decide the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion, nigba ti Henry Clark (3-1) ati Johnny Crafts (3-0) meet to determine the inaugural amateur bantamweight titleholder.

 

Ni afikun, Erin Lamonte (5-0) ati Randi Beth Boyington (1-2) are scheduled to face off in a women’s MMA bout.

After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.

Awọn iṣẹlẹ ti wa ni aptly ti akole “Homecoming” 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) lati Ithaca, Niu Yoki. 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 lodi si Makosi “Awọn Irish Ọwọ grenade” Davis (22-11) ninu awọn ifilelẹ ti awọn iṣẹlẹ ti “NEF VII.” Heyliger will make his return on Kẹsán 12 lodi si Brandon Chagnon (5-4) ti Sityodtong.

Sylvester’s previous appearance in NEF ended in controversy when many felt he held an armbar a little too long on Tollison Lewis (0-4).

 

Lori awọn magbowo ẹgbẹ ti awọn kaadi, 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) lati John Fain ká Team Ijagunmolu / Boston BJJ ti Nashua, New Hampshire. Harvey won the vacant title this past June with a first-round submission of Ricky Dexter (3-1).

Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine will be represented in both bouts with Angela Young (0-0) ati Kira Innocenti (0-0) making their respective debuts.

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-eighteenth adalu-ologun-ona (MMA) ìṣẹlẹ, “NEF XVIII: Ṣe ni America,” yi Saturday night, June 13, 2015 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni Lewiston, Maine. Laipe, headliners Bruce “Lẹwa Ọmọkùnrin” Boyington (10-8), awọn NEF MMA Ọjọgbọn Lightweight asiwaju, ati John “Akọkọ Kíláásì” Ray(2-7) darapo NEF àjọ-eni ati matchmaker Matt Peterson lori pataki kan “Orí-to-ori” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, laarin awọn miiran ero.

 

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 “ọwọ igbi.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ti jà pé o ti jo tani lolobo pe si rẹ egeb ninu awọn enia ti wa ni idaduro pada ni a ko ṣe eyikeyi bibajẹ.

 

“Mo le so fun o bi o ti oru pari,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Besikale, 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, ati bi mo ti mu mi osi bicep ati awọn mi osi ọwọ ti a sile lọ ori rẹ, awọn Ref duro ni ija… Mo ti a ti yà pé ó ti tapped nitori, nitootọ, Mo ti mọ pe mo ti ní pupo ti titẹ lori re bakan… Ti o ba ti ni o daju ti o si ti Map, ti o buruja fun u.”

 

“Ni ipo ti, Mo ti pataki ranti Bickford nwa ni mi, Mo wa dojuko soke, o n lọ fun mi li ọrùn ati ki o Mo n Map,” Said Boyington. “Pipe gbogbo bere ramúramù gidi rara ati ki o Mo ranti wipe Bickford, 'Ko Bruce, o ko ba le so pe '… Ti o ba ro wipe mo ti n fohunsile tabi Mo wa ni wahala tabi ko le simi, you don’t tell the fighter, “O ko le so pe,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mo ti ri kan pupo ti o yatọ si ohun tí John ti wi online, ati opolopo awon ohun miiran awon eniyan ti wi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Šaaju si Boyington fun soke re pada, many felt he had been winning that first round. Nitootọ, 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.

 

“Sàì, Mo ro pe yoo John ti sọ a ti lu jade,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Emi ko ro pe mo ti wa maa yonda fun u, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mo ro pe ti o ba ti Ref ko da ni akoko, nigbati mo wà lori rẹ bakan pẹlu mi forearm ati ki o Mo ti a ti nínàgà sile ọrùn rẹ,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Nítorí, Emi ko ro pe o yoo ti sọ lọ si a keji yika.”

 

Ni awọn ọjọ, ọsẹ ati awọn osu wọnyí ni ija, 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,” mejeeji elere bà lori ohun ti rematch tumo si wọn, ati ohun ti wọn nilo lati fi mule yi bọ ìparí.

 

“Mo ti o kan ko le lọ ni nibẹ ati ki o lu John,” Said Boyington. “Ani rẹ ti ara egeb ti wa ni reti wipe… Emi ko le o kan lọ ni nibẹ lori June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Mo mo yen, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, nitori awọn miiran apa ti wa ni ko paapaa ṣiṣẹ ọtun bayi… 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.”

 

“Ni iyi si Bruce finishing mi ni kiakia, ati ṣiṣe awọn ti o rorun, ati ki o ko gan idaamu nipa ija ju Elo, Mo ti o kan ri o alaibọwọ bi a pupo ti ohun ti o ti n sọ fún mi, ebi mi ati awọn ọrẹ mi,” replied Raio. “Ko si wà ni igba lẹhin ti awọn ti o kẹhin ija nigba ti awon eniyan ti won congratulating mi (lori 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. Nítorí, lẹhin ti mo ti wi 'Bruce ati ki o mo ti ko ba gan ọrẹ mọ,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… sugbon nigba ti awon eniyan disrespect mi bi o ni o ni o ni lile lati fẹ awọn eniyan.”
