HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Gājiens 10, 2016) - New England cīņas (NEF), Amerikas numurs, viena reģionālā cīņa veicināšana, rīkos nākamo notikumu, “NEF 22: VISI CELI VED ŠEIT” par Sestdiena, Aprīlis 23, 2016 pie ANDROSCOGGIN Bank COLISEE Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Agrāk šodien, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” Cīņa karte. Nick Gulliver (2-0) tiksies Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) pirmajā kārtā. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (PVO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Tik, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) pie “NEF 21” pagājušajā mēnesī.

 

I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.

“Es noteikti var likt daudz vairāk laika manā cīnītājiem, kā arī manu ģimeni,” Said Ray. “Iznīcinātāji, Es varu likt daudz vairāk laika par tiem, jo ​​tas nav viss par mani. Kad esat cīnās, kad jūs mācības cīņa, nav svarīgi, cik daudz jūs mēģināt koncentrēties uz Nick Shea vai Nick Gully vai Hannah Sparrell vai Rafael vai kādu no mūsu cīnītājiem, Jūs nevarat īsti likt 100% pūles uz cīnītājs, ja jūs patiešām koncentrēties uz savu cīņu. Tas ir grūts sadalīšanu starp to cīnīties un savu cīņu un savu darbu, Jūsu ģimene un jūsu bērniem.”

 

Kopš dzimšanas NEF gada sākumā 2012, un turpmākā sprādziens no sporta popularitāti valstī, daudzi jauni sporta zāles ir ieplīsis up pēdējos gados, tostarp pirmo Class MMA. Raio bauda, vairāk nekā jebkas cits, saspringts saliekams, ģimene līdzīgu atmosfēru, kas ir izveidojusies pie objekta, jo viņš atvēra trenažieru zāli.

 

“Lielākais lieta man patīk mūsu sporta zāli, Man patīk iet un ir daļa no, ir tur ir ļoti pazemīgs grupa studentu un pasniedzēju,” atzīmēja Raio. “Ikvienam, kurš māca tur ir par cīnītājiem. Tas ir par studentiem. Viņi nav par sevi. Viņi vairāk par mēģina palīdzēt cilvēkiem iegūt labāku. Vai viņi ir cīnītājs, vai skolotājs, mums ir daži skolotāji, kuri iet tur, un mums ir vairākas sievietes studenti un vairāki bērni un pieaugušie. Tā ir īsta labs sajaukums un ļoti daudz ģimenes atmosfēra. Mēs reti zaudē students.”

Šīs pašas īpašības ir pārnestas uz studentiem pirmās klases MMA.

 

“Es cenšos, lai ārstētu visiem vienādi,” Said Ray. “Es cenšos ārstēt ikvienam cieņu. Es domāju, ka ļoti daudz no šiem puišiem (sporta zālē), pagriezienā, pret otru ar cieņu. Ja man kādreiz ir problēmas ar studentu, ja viņi nerīkojas cieņu ar instruktoru vai citiem studentiem, Es pull tos malā, un, ja tie ir jāatstāj, tad viņiem ir atvaļinājumu. Tā ir daļa no dzīves… Mūsu sporta zāle piesaista, kādu iemeslu dēļ, cilvēki, kuri ir vienkārši jauki cilvēki.”

 

Ar vairāk un vairāk jaunu studentu nāk caur viņa GYM durvīm, Raio ir noteikti tur aizņemts, jo viņa aiziešanu no darbīgās konkursā. Tāpat kā lepns tēvs, Raio ir kaislību panākumiem viņa studentiem. Galīgais atlīdzība viņam ir redzēt viņa protégées darīt arī būrī.

 

“Pēc pēdējā seansa (NEF XVIII), kad es redzēju Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) ir viņa roka pacelta un Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Es biju tik laimīgs par šiem puišiem,” atgādināja Raio. “Es esmu tik laimīgs, lai redzētu šīs divas puiši uzvarēt. Tik daudz kā es nenāca prom ar win pret Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Es teicu: "Ja mēs ejam 2-1, Es labprātāk būtu viens, kas nav pull off uzvaru.’ Es nekad neesmu bijis tik laimīgs par savu uzvaru, nekā man bija Niks un Rob, ka nakts.”

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 “roku vilnis.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ir apgalvojusi, ka viņš bija tikai signalizācijas saviem faniem pūlī, ka tur nebija darīt jebkādu kaitējumu.

 

“Es varu pateikt, cik tajā vakarā beidzās,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Būtībā, 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, un kā es satvert manu kreiso bicep un mana kreisā roka bija iet aiz viņa galvu, ref pārtrauca cīņu… Es biju pārsteigts, ka viņš materializēt, jo, godīgi, Es zināju, ka man bija daudz spiedienu uz viņa žokļa… Ja patiesībā viņš bija vicināšanu, ka sūkā viņam.”

 

“Šādā situācijā, Es īpaši atceros Bickford skatās uz mani, Es esmu pretī, viņš dodas uz manu kaklu, un es esmu vicināšanu,” Teica Boyington. “Visi sāk rūkšana nekustamā skaļi un es atceros Bickford sakot, "Nē Bruce, Jūs nevarat teikt, ka "… Ja jūs domājat, ka es esmu, iesniedzot vai es esmu nepatikšanas vai nevar elpot, you don’t tell the fighter, “Jūs nevarat teikt, ka,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Es redzu daudz dažādas lietas, ka Jānis ir teicis online, un daudzas lietas citi cilvēki ir teikuši, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Pirms Boyington atmest muguru, many felt he had been winning that first round. Patiešām, 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.

 

“Neizbēgami, Es domāju, ka Jānis būtu esam bijuši izsisti,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Es nedomāju, ka es esmu gonna iesniegt viņam, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Es domāju, ja ref neapturēja brīdī, kad es biju viņa žokļa ar manu apakšdelma un man bija sasniedzot aiz viņa kaklu,” Ray spekulējis, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Tik, Es nedomāju, ka tas būtu esmu gājusi uz otro kārtu.”

 

Jo dienas, nedēļas un mēnešus pēc cīņas, 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,” abi sportisti pieskārās kāds mačs tiks viņiem nozīmē, un kas viņiem ir nepieciešams, lai pierādītu šo nāk nedēļas nogalē.

 

“Es vienkārši nevaru iet tur un sita Jāņa,” Teica Boyington. “Pat viņa paša fani gaida, ka… Es nevaru vienkārši iet tur 13. jūnijsand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. ES to zinu, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, jo otra roka nav pat strādā tieši tagad… 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.

 

“Attiecībā uz Bruce apdares mani ātri, un padarot to viegli, un nav īsti neuztraucoties par cīņu pārāk daudz, Es tikai atrast to nerespektējošs piemēram, daudz lietas, viņš man teica, mana ģimene un mani draugi,” replied Raio. “Bija laiki pēc pēdējās cīņas, kad cilvēki ir apsveikt mani (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. Tik, pēc tam es teicu "Bruce, un man nav īsti draugi vairs,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… bet, kad cilvēki necieņu mani, piemēram, viņš ir tā grūti patīk puisis.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional Viegls Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Pirmklasīgs” Stars (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014.

Neatkarīgi, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Jūnijs 13 Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, un 2014 “Karotājs Gada,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) ar middleweight cīkstēšanās.

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Runga “Sniega cilvēks” Leahy (2-1) unRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

Bruce Boyington protests to referee Jimmy Bickford after his first fight with John Raio is stopped

Lewiston, Maine (Aprīlis 21, 2015) - New England cīņas (NEF), Amerikas numurs, viena reģionālā cīņa veicināšana, rīkos savā astoņpadsmitajā jauktas cīņas-Arts (MMA) notikums, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” par Sestdiena, Jūnijs 13, 2015 pie ANDROSCOGGIN Bank COLISEE Lewiston, Maine. Agrāk šodien, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) tiksies John “Pirmklasīgs” Stars (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 pie “NEF XII” Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

 

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

 

Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Jūnijs 13 Lewiston!”

 

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, patiesībā, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

 

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get reāls in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “NEF XVII.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.

 

“I know this is a fight that I want, Bruce wants, and a lot of MMA fans have asked for,” stated Raio when reached for comment. “I look forward to fighting Bruce. Hopefully when the fight is over, there will be no controversy.”
