O New England bojuje

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 BOJ CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Marec 10, 2016) - New England zápasu (NEF), Číslo jedna regionálna podpora boj Ameriky, sa bude konať ďalšie udalosti, “NEF 22: Všetky cesty vedú TU” na Sobota, Apríl 23, 2016 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée v Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Dneska, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” boj karta. Nick Gulliver (2-0) sa stretne 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 – Brazílčan Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) v prvom kole. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) 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. Tak, 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) na “NEF 21” minulý mesiac.

 

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.

JOHN Raio prospievajúce v odchodov do dôchodku s prvotriednemu tímu

Lewiston, Maine (Septembra 3, 2015) - New England zápasu (NEF), Číslo jedna regionálna podpora boj Ameriky, sa bude držať jeho devätnástom zmiešané bojových umení (MMA) udalosť, “NEF XIX,” v sobotu, Septembra 12, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée v Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velada (0-0) a Nick Shea (1-0) od Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Nedávno, First Class MMA zakladateľ a hlavný tréner John “First Class” Lúč pripojil NEF spolumajiteľ a Dohadzovač Matt Peterson ako hosť na NEF Podcast.

 

Tento rok v júni, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, vrátane prípravy Sparrell, Velada a Shea pre svoje nadchádzajúce záchvaty.

 

“Rozhodne môžem dať oveľa viac času do mojich bojovníkov, rovnako ako moja rodina,” Said Ray. “Bojovníci, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, keď ste školenia pre boj, bez ohľadu na to, ako veľmi sa pokúsite zaostriť na Nick Shea alebo Nick Gully alebo Hannah Sparrell alebo Rafael, alebo niektorý z našich bojovníkov, Nemôžete naozaj dať 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, vaša rodina a vaše deti.”

 

Od narodenia NEF začiatkom roka 2012, a následné explózie športu popularity v štáte, mnoho nových telocvične sa objavili v posledných rokoch, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, viac ako čokoľvek iné, tesné, pletené, rodinná atmosféra, ktorá vyvinula v objekte, pretože on otvoril telocvičňu.

 

“Najväčšia vec sa mi páči o našej telocvični, Baví ma ísť a byť súčasťou, je tu veľmi skromný skupina študentov a inštruktorov,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.

 

The “First Class” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio vyslúžil povesť úctivý, nóbl, profesionálne, sympatický individuálny, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Snažím sa liečiť všetci rovnako,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (v posilňovni), na rade, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, v prípade, že nie ste konať úctivo inštruktorov alebo ostatnými študentmi, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Naše posilňovňa priťahuje, z nejakého dôvodu, ľudia, ktorí sú jednoducho milí ľudia.”

 

S viac a viac nových študentov prichádza dverami jeho telocvični v, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.

 

“Po poslednej výstave (NEF XVIII), keď som videl Nicka (Gulliver, 1-0) sa jeho paže zvýšila a Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Bol som tak šťastný pre tých chlapcov,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Som povedal, "keď pôjdeme 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.

Boyington GOES hlava-hlava s Raio dní pred BOJI: “Idem tam a zničiť HIM”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Jún 10, 2015) - New England zápasu (NEF), Číslo jedna regionálna podpora boj Ameriky, bude držať svojom osemnástom zmiešané bojových umení (MMA) udalosť, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” túto sobotu noc, Jún 13, 2015 Na Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewiston, Maine. Nedávno, headlinerov Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Ľahká Champion, a John “First Class” Lúč(2-7) pripojil NEF spolumajiteľ a dohadzovač Matt Peterson na zvláštne “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, medzi inými témami.

 

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 “ručné vlna.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington bolo tvrdil, že on bol len signalizácie svojim fanúšikom v dave, ktorý drží sa nerobí žiadnu škodu.

 

“Môžem vám povedať, ako sa ten večer skončil,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “V podstate, 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, a keď som chytil ľavou biceps a moja ľavá ruka sa deje za hlavu, ref zastavil boj… Bol som ohromený, že mu poklepal pretože, poctivo, Vedel som, že som mal veľký tlak na jeho čeľuste… Ak je v skutočnosti on mával, že naštve pre neho.”

 

“V takejto situácii, Ja konkrétne pamätám Bickford pri pohľade na mňa, Som lícom nahor, že to bude pre môj krk a ja som zamával,” Said Boyington. “Každý začína revúci skutočný nahlas a pamätať si ja hovoril Bickford, "No Bruce, nemôžete povedať, že "… Ak si myslíte, že som predloženie, alebo som v problémoch, alebo nemôže dýchať, you don’t tell the fighter, “Nemôžete povedať, že,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Vidím veľa rôznych vecí, ktoré John povedal on-line, a veľa vecí iní ľudia povedali, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Pred Boyington vzdať chrbtom, many felt he had been winning that first round. Naozaj, 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.

 

“Nevyhnutne, Myslím si, že John by sa už vyradení,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Nemyslím si, že budem predkladať ho, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Myslím, že keby rozhodca nezastavil v tej dobe, keď som bol na jeho čeľuste s mojím predlaktia a bol som dosiahol za krkom,” Ray špekuloval, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Tak, Nemyslím si, že by som išiel do druhého kola.”

 

V dňoch, týždne a mesiace po boji, 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,” Obaja pretekári sa dotkol o tom, čo pre nich znamená odveta, a to, čo oni potrebujú, aby preukázal tento nadchádzajúci víkend.

 

“Ja jednoducho nemôžem ísť tam a porazil Johna,” Said Boyington. “Dokonca aj jeho vlastné fanúšikovia očakávajú, že… Nemôžem len tak ísť tam na 13.červnaand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Viem že, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, pretože druhé rameno nie je ani teraz pracuje… 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.

 

“S ohľadom na Bruce mi rýchlo dokončovacie, a robiť to ľahké, a nie je naozaj starať o boji príliš veľa, Len som si to neúctivé ako kopa vecí, on povedal, aby ma, moja rodina a moji priatelia,” replied Raio. “Boli časy, po poslednom súboji, keď ľudia boli ma uvíta (na Facebooku) 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. Tak, potom, čo som povedal, "Bruce a ja sme naozaj priatelia už,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ale keď sa ľudia neúcta ma, ako že má je to ťažké mať rád toho chlapa.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Profesionálne Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “First Class” Lúč (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.

Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Jún 13 v Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, a 2014 “Fighter roka,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Junkyard Dog” Ryan Coweta (2-2) v middleweight záchvate.

“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 Táborový kotlík “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) aRyan Glover (1-0).

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 (Apríl 21, 2015) - New England zápasu (NEF), Číslo jedna regionálna podpora boj Ameriky, bude držať svojom osemnástom zmiešané bojových umení (MMA) udalosť, “NEF XVIII: Vyrobené v Amerike,” na Sobota, Jún 13, 2015 Na Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewiston, Maine. Dneska, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) sa stretne John “First Class” Lúč (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 na “NEF XII” v 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,” pripomenul NEF spolumajiteľ a propagátor 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, Jún 13 v 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, vlastne, 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 skutočný 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.”
