WOMEN’S FIGHT AT NEF 29 IS A MATTER OF RESPECT

PRESSMEDDELANDE: Lewiston, Maine (Maj 9, 2017) - “I wanna knock her out!” Those were the emphatic words of Alex Walker (3-1) when asked last weekend atNEF 28for her prediction on her upcoming fight with Sarah Ziehm (1-0). The crowd at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee erupted in response.

 

Walker and Ziehm are scheduled to face off when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Colisee onLördag, Juni 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.Walker, a two-fight veteran of the NEF cage and a member of Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Team Kaze, has made it her mission to teach Ziehm a lesson in respect for what Walker viewed as acockyperformance in Ziehm’s debut earlier this year.

 

I have respect for 99% of the females I do battle with, but I do not respect her,” said Walker when reached for comment. “I don’t like the way she handled herself in her first fight, I think she needs to be humbled and I will do that in Juneif she even shows up! My manager told (NEF matchmaker) Matt Peterson to have a backup because she will come up with an excuse not to get a beating.

 

Ziehm made her MMA debut last February with a win over Nicole Burgess (0-2). She submitted Burgess in the third round after a dominant performance. (Of note, Walker also submitted Burgess in the third round just a few months earlier.) Ziehm trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) i Lewiston.

 

This will be a good battle,” predicted Ziehm. “Alex is a seasoned and skilled warrior. I’m not underestimating her at all. I’m excited to get back into cage and do some work.

ONLY ONE CAN MAKE IT TWO-IN-A-ROW AT NEF 29

 

 

PRESSMEDDELANDE: Lewiston, Maine (Maj 5, 2017) -Nya England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Lördag, Juni 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Tidigare idag, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (4-6) kommer att ta på Dominic “Domination” Jones (1-0) at a weight of 145-pounds. Both athletes are coming off wins last weekend atNEF 28.

 

Denning entered the cage six days ago looking to break a four-fight skid. The Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) featherweight worked his ground game and submitted Josh Parker (5-9) with a Guillotine Choke in the first round. He donated a portion of his earnings for the fight to Derek Shorey’s (4-9) family members recently left homeless by a fire in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Denning has now vowed revenge for his teammate, Tollison Lewis (1-6), who fell to Jones last weekend, and he has committed to going undefeated for the remainder of the year.

 

I’m excited to continue my fighting career with New England Fights,” nämnda Denning. “I’m coming for another win against someone who just TKO’d my teammate. He seems like a nice kid and a solid wrestler, but I’m a better striker and have far superior jiu-jitsu! I’m not losing again this year! See you guys June 17th.”

 

After a takedown early in the first round, Dom Jones was able to do exactly what his nickname saysdominateagainst Tollison Lewis last Saturday night atNEF 28.Jones used his wrestling to smother Lewis, defending submission attempts in the process, and pounding a TKO win out of Lewis in the final minute of the first round. The bout was Jonesfirst in Maine after a lengthy amateur career in his previous home state of Florida. Jones predicts that he will be the one walking away with a two-fight win streak on Juni 17.

 

I’m excited for this match up,” stated Jones. “Wrestling versus jiu-jitsu! Än en gång, our gyms clash! It’s a good fight for me. Denning has worked to get where he is now, and I respect his work he has put in. I have to fight smart and not get caught. Såsom June 17th, when that cage door closes, I’m walking out 2-0! Thank you NEF for having me again.

THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER, NOW IT’S TIME TO FIGHT!

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 1, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presenterar sin nästa blandade krigs-arts händelse “NEF 28: OÖVERVINNERLIG” på lördag, April 29, 2017 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidigare idag, kampen främjande meddelat tillägget av en professionell fjäder bout till kortet. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-6) kommer att träffa Josh Parker (5-8) vid ett slagsmål vikt av 145-pounds.

The fight will mark the culmination of months of trash talking on social media between Denning and Parker’s camp. Denning, a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Auburn, Maine and a veteran of the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) cage, will be looking to rebound from a loss to Ricky Dexter (1-0) förra månaden på “NEF 27.”

After Josh’s win over Derek Shorey, I wanted to fight him,” Denning said. “På papperet, both of our last wins were against the same opponent (Shorey). I thought the fight made sense. We both have had a lot of fights against very tough fighters. Eftersom denna kamp, there has been some Facebook bashing from Parker’s brother, and my response was for Josh to sign the contract. He was insulting me and trash talking, so I wanted to prove them wrong. There is no place in a fight where Parker can beat me and on April 29th, I’ll show that to the NEF fans. I’d like to thank (NEF owners) Nick (DiSalvo) and Matt (Peterson) for giving me another opportunity to fight for them. Också, I’d like to thank Kill Their Will and all my family at CMBJJ for their ongoing support.

Parker’s victory over Shorey last November marked his return to the MMA cage after a three-year absence. He spent the vast majority of that time competing in the boxing ring, yet it was a submission that Parker used to overcome Shorey. For Parker, the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine, the fight with Denning is not business as usual. The nature of the trash talking has turned personal, and Parker vows vengeance for what he sees as disrespect on Denning’s part.

There comes a time in every fighter’s career that the fight has nothing to do with records or money,” Said Parker. “It’s to prove a point. My name has come out of this kid’s mouth too many times. På April 29th, I’m gonna shut it.

SHATTERPROOF AND RUTHLESS IN MAINE TURF WAR AT NEF 26

Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 4, 2016) – New England Fights (NEF) presenterar sin nästa blandade krigs-arts händelse, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” på lördag, November 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Tidigare idag, NEF executives announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Josh Parker (4-8) kommer att ta på“Okrossbart 2,0” Derek Shorey (4-7) vid ett slagsmål vikt av 145-pounds.

 

Parker is the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine. A regular in the NEF MMA cage during the early days of the promotion, Parker has spent the last several years competing in the boxing ring. He battled Elias Leland to a draw last November in a boxing bout at “NEF XX.” Parker predicts a finish in his long-awaited return to cage competition.

 

I want to thank NEF for the opportunity and Derek for taking the fight,” Said Parker. “Jag är glad över att komma tillbaka i buren. I feel like I have a lot to prove. I will show up this time and I will finish this fightdon’t miss it!”

 

Derek Shorey, founder of the Shatterproof Combat Club at the Outlet in Dexter, Maine, is coming off a huge win in Rhode Island just over a week ago. It was the spark Shorey had been looking for after dropping his last four in a row in the NEF cage. Admittedly, Shorey is filled with both fear and excitement coming into the fight with Parker.

 

This is a fight that has scared the crap out of me in the past,” declared Shorey. “Han är en stor, strong 145er that has good movement and boxing. Standing and trading could end horribly for either of us. His strength may be enough to keep my slams in check and I’m not a jits expert, so he can probably power out of whatever I throw at him. It’s a puzzle I’m both excited and terrified to tackle.

 

The opening bell on Saturday, November 19 är inställd för 7 p.m. Biljetter börjar på $25 och finns på www.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisee biljettkassan på 207.783.2009, extension 525.

BOXERS LOOK TO GET ON THE WINNING TRACK AT NEF 22

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 29, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), USA: s nummer ett regionalt kamp främjande, kommer att hålla sitt nästa evenemang, “NEF 22: Alla vägar leder HÄR” på Lördag, April 23, 2016 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine.

He boxed to a draw against fellow NEF MMA alum Elias Leland (0-0-1) last November in Lewiston. Senast, Parker dropped a decision to undefeated Julio Perez (4-0) on a boxing card in Rhode Island. He is hungry for his first victory as a professional boxer.

 

I want to thank NEF for another opportunity to fight,” Said Parker. “I have a lot to prove. My skills have not been reflected in my past few performances. I’ve switched up some aspects of my training and I’m confident that I will finally be able to bring the real me to the ring. I will be facing an experienced opponent who will present some tough challenges for mewhich is exactly what I wanted. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced is myself, and now that I’ve figured him out, it doesn’t matter who’s standing in front of me.

 

A veteran of more than twenty professional fights, Evincii Dixon has been one of the northeast’s most active boxers since his debut in the summer of 2013. Dixon, who calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania his home, often fights multiple times in a given month in places as far away as Texas, California and, senast, Ohio.

NEW SPORT, SAMMA STRIDIGHET ENGAGEMANG FÖR JOSH PARKER

Lewiston, Maine (November 5, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USA: s nummer ett regionalt kamp främjande, kommer att hålla sitt nästa evenemang, “NEF XX: A History of Violence” på Lördag, November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Evenemanget kommer att innehålla en första för Maine – blandad martial-arts (MMA) anfall och professionell boxning matcher på samma händelse med en MMA bur och en boxningsring inrättas sida vid sida. In a featured lightweight professional boxing match, Josh Parker (0-1) har tecknat till ansiktet Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (0-0) i en fyra Ligt tävling.

 

Medan matchen blir Parkers första boxningsmatch med NEF, he is no stranger to longtime fans of the promotion. Parker was a regular on NEF MMA cards during the early days of the company. He put together a record of 4-8 as a professional MMA competitor over the course of five years. Parker feels that he has found his true home not in the MMA cage, men i boxningsringen.

 

“Boxning är en bättre passform för mig eftersom jag har alltid älskat standup delen av MMA,” noterade Parker. “När jag erbjöds Brandon Berry (9-1) kämpa och började fokusera på det ensam, Jag visste att jag hade hittat min sanna kallelse. Jag slutade mitt jobb, började bygga en kamp lag, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Jag skulle vilja att bekämpa varje par månader om möjligt.”

 

Såsom noterats, Parker började sin boxningskarriär under våren 2014 när han accepterade en dust med Brandon Berry i North Anson, Maine. Parker held his own in the bout, eventually dropping a four-round decision. Fans have speculated that there would be a rematch at some point down the road between the two.

 

“Du vet, människor alltid ber att, men jag verkligen inte bryr sig om att kämpa Brandon igen,” Said Parker. “Du ser kampen och berätta hur domarna kom upp med poängen de gjorde. That fight was on five weeks of boxing training. Now I’ve had a year and a half. If he’s standing in the path on the way to the top then so be it, men det är inte något jag tänker på.”

 

Vad är på Parkers sinne är hans kamp lag – Hänsynslösa MMA & Boxning. Opened in 2014 och med bas i Benton, Maine, Ruthless is one of the standout new teams emerging on the Maine fight scene consisting of scrappy young athletes. In founding the team, Parker är mycket tydligt att han är bara intresserad av att utbilda dem som menar allvar med att konkurrera som kämpar.

 

Ruthless is different because I’m not in it for the money. I don’t take people who are just trying to get in shape or learn about MMA or boxing. We don’t do ‘classes.We fight, varje dag. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, Vi letar efter målgång.”

 

Oturligt nog för Parker, he has had some trouble finding boxing matches in the past year-and-a-half following the Berry fight. With NEF now operating as an MMA and boxing promotion, Parker, och andra gillar honom, är avsedda att dra nytta av företagets stabilitet och konsekvent evenemang schema.

 

“Det har varit väldigt frustrerande,” sade Parker för att försöka hitta boxningsmatcher. “Jag har försökt att sätta upp ett par slagsmål genom andra kampanjer av staten och de har fallit genom. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for 21 November, särskilt för att vara en del av den första dual MMA och boxning show. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Jag har gjort något annat än tåg sedan. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.

 

Och Parker kommer, ingen tvekan, testas på November 21 vid “NEF XX.” Hans motståndare, Elias Leland, är en medlem av Jay Jack Academy of MMA i Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards. He is currently 2-1 som professionell MMA fighter efter att sätta ihop en 3-1 rekord som en amatör. While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, han har visat mycket goda händer och standup förmågor hittills i MMA matcher.

 

“Jag förväntar mig att det är en bra kamp för fansen,” sade Parker av den kommande boxningsmatch med Leland. “I’ve never been one to trash talk before a fight. I’ll let my hands do the talking on 21 November. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Det kommer att bli en spännande kamp.”

 

New England Fights’ nästa händelse, “NEF XX: A History of Violence,” sker på November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Evenemanget kommer att markera första gången i Maine historia en blandad-martial-arts (MMA) händelse och en professionell boxning händelse har ägt rum tillsammans på samma utställning. Biljetter till “NEF XX” startar vid bara $25 och finns det erbjudanden nu på www.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisée biljettintäkterna på 207.783.2009 x 525.
