GLOVER VACATES; A NEW LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED AT NEF 25

Pustite komentar

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mešane borilne veščine- (MMA) amateur light-heavyweight title. The months to come would see Glover accept a new job that would take him up and down the East Coast. With little time to train to defend the title, and in the interest of doing right by the division, Glover recently made the difficult decision to relinquish the championship.

 

NEF executives were quick to act. Že danes, the fight promotion announced that Victor Irwin (2-0) would meet Nick Shea (2-0) to fill the vacancy. The two undefeated athletes are scheduled to face-off to determine a new light-heavyweight champion at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” naSeptember 10, 2016 v Lewiston.

 

Irwin was a standout wrestler at Brewer High School in Brewer, Maine at 195-pounds where he was a Class-A state champion. His love for the sport is so strong that when Irwin attended Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) and learned the school did not have a wrestling program, he created one himself. As a college freshman in 2014 Irwin went to Nationals and achieved All-American status. He currently trains out of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

 

“I’ve thought a lot about this fight and I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what I say,” said Irwin, “it matters what I do, and come September 10thyou’re gonna see some serious doing.”

 

2015 was a great start to the MMA career of Nick Shea. In February of that year, he won his debut fight over the much more experienced Jacob Cameron (1-5) po prvem krogu tehnične Knockout. Later in the year, Shea would go on to defeat Ruben Redman (0-1) by decision in a hard-fought contest. It would earn Shea a nomination for the “Rookie of the Year” v 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. On September 10 v Lewiston, Shea will attempt to become the first member of the First Class MMA fight team to capture gold in the NEF cage.

 

“It’s an honor to fight someone from Young’s MMA,” said Shea. “I believe this will be my biggest test in the cage to date. I’m grateful and excited to compete for the amateur light heavyweight title. Victor and I will put on an exciting fight on Sobota, September 10th!”

BURGESS SIBLINGS READY TO BATTLE AT NEF 24

Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 16, 2016) – As the only girl in a rough-and-tumble household with three older brothers in Mexico, Maine, Nicole Burgess learned how to fight for pride, for respect, sometimes even just for fun.

Sometimes such sibling rivalries are a challenge and burden. In Nicole’s case, vseeno, the arrangement furnished three built-in fans and best friends. And the closest bond of all naturally formed with the family’s youngest boy, Ryan, exactly one year and three days older than his sister.

“We were born pretty much back-to-back,” said Ryan Burgess, the pride becoming perceptible in his voice. “She’s always been tough. She’s really strong, just very athletic.”

Ryan, 22, has backed up his three high school championships as a wrestler with a pair of impressive mixed martial arts wins and the New England Fights amateur flyweight title.

Not to be outdone, multi-sport athlete Nicole, 21, finished fourth against primarily male competition in the state wrestling meet her sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. She has carved out a successful college field hockey career at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

Similarly accomplished, so close in age, rarely seen apart from one another in childhood, Ryan and Nicole’s athletic and life stories remain intertwined as young adults. Nicole will follow her brother into the NEF cage on Sobota, Junij 18, making her debut against Alex Walker (0-1) in a 115-pound women’s bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.”

Anybody who grew up with a brother or a sister probably can imagine the good-natured ribbing that has taken place in training camp.

“He thinks I’m probably going to want to throw up,” Nicole said with a laugh.

Ryan, who will defend his strap on the same card against Dustin Veinott in a rematch of their split-decision title tilt from November 2015, knows there is no substitute for experience in the cage.

Although he was one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the history of his proud community, Ryan discovered in his first two cage confrontations that the variety of skills and size of the crowd at an MMA event demanded a quantum leap.

“You don’t know what to expect,"Je dejal. “Before my debut, I had never been in a fight in my life. I thought I had, but I really hadn’t. I told myself ‘It’s just another wrestling match,’ but it’s not.”

Burgess stuck with what he knew best and ground out a unanimous decision over Justin Witham in June 2015.

He was introduced as an independent. His studies at Kennebec Valley Community College interfered with his training schedule, and Burgess’ coaches at Berserkers MMA didn’t want him representing the stable until he spent a full cycle under their watchful eyes.

The same night, he scouted out Veinott’s win over Norman “Sleepy” Fox and felt that he compared favorably to both fighters. He proved it in a championship setting five months later, albeit by an on-paper verdict that most cage-side observers felt could have gone either way.

After struggling to find an opponent worthy for the title shot in his weight class, Burgess was eager to extend Veinott (4-4) a second chance.

“I’ve already been in the cage 18 minut, which is more fight time than a lot of guys who’ve been in four of five fights can say they’ve had,” Ryan said. “I’m completely confident now with the venue, ventilatorji. The only person I hear now is my coach.”

He doesn’t even hear Nicole, although little sister was so enamored with the environment as a spectator that she couldn’t wait to resume her own combat sports career.

“I always watched UFC and stuff like that,” she said. “I actually started boxing before Ryan even got into it.”

Nicole donned the gloves in high school after giving up softball. In sixth grade, she made a similar transition from basketball to wrestling after waiting for a ride home, watching one of Ryan’s grueling mat practices and deciding that it looked fun.

“It was weird at first. I didn’t want to touch the guys,” Nicole said. “Then you heard things like, ‘Oh, it’s just a girl.’ Often times the guys would be stronger, but I had good technique.”

Walker brings experience, in the form of a loss to Randi Beth Boyington, and a tough stand-up game.

Speaking with the typical subtlety of a big brother, Ryan said that Nicole “should be OK as long as she doesn’t get kicked in the head.”

He quickly noted that she has the poise and talent to enjoy a successful debut if she can shake off the requisite whirlwind of emotions.

“As long as she can put together everything she’s learned. You have to overcome the nerves and the adrenaline dump,” Ryan said. “I remember that from my debut. It stunk.”

Nicole said she would like to end the fight early but predicted that it probably will go the distance.

Her brother aims for his first stoppage and forecasts that his improved striking will catch Veinott and everyone else by surprise.

“Up until now, I was focused on school, just graduating in May, and trying to get my career started,” Ryan said. “I was working 40 hours a week for free as an internship and working 20 more hours on the weekend trying to make ends meet. Dustin is going to see a completely different fighter this time.”

MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST

Pustite komentar

Mike Hansen

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, kjerkoli, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.

No surprise, potem, that the 30-year-old father of three from Rumford, ME will gladly entertain the idea of a mixed martial arts contest … against an opponent about whom he admittedly knows precious little … on the eve of Father’s Day.

Hansen (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «dne Sobota, Junij 18 pri banki Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

There is no fear of the unknown in a man who has carved out his reputation confronting substantially bigger foes since his days as a state champion wrestler at Mountain Valley High School. During his relatively short time in NEF, Hansen has fought as a middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.

“When I took the fight (at NEF 23 in Massachusetts) against Brendan Battles, people were saying, ‘You’re crazy! He’s going to bust your head!’ I understand why the weight classes exist, and I respect that it’s about safety and all that, but I’ve always felt that a fighter should be ready to fight anybody, no matter what,” Hansen said. “In high school, I would drink two gallons of water and put lead in my uniform just so I could get to the minimum weight for the unlimited class.”

That’s the attitude of a fighter whose skill and talent level far exceed his current record as a professional.

Hansen’s docket includes a stoppage win over former NEF “Fighter of the Year” Crowsneck Boutin. His record also includes TKO losses to Battles and Cody Anderson and a choke-out at the hands of Zach Elkins.

When he reflects upon his unique life story, Hansen, who fought twice for the World Fighting League as a 20-year-old college student, marvels that he ever got back into the cage at all.

“I started the winter of 2004-05. I started training because I had gone from 187 da 242 pounds in a few months. I was seeing stretch marks,” Hansen recalled. “I was pretty upset with myself for allowing that to happen. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu two nights a week to get in shape. Then I went home for the summer and ended up with my first fight in August. My friends got me the fight without my coaches knowing about it. They told me it was a good thing I won, or they would have kicked my butt.”

Hansen kept a promise to his father to quit the sport after a knockout loss to Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. He was studying at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, with intentions to enter the medical field.

He was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat by three men in a case of mistaken identity not long thereafter. “I walked out of the hospital the next day, and all three of them were still in there from the beating I gave them in self-defense,” Hansen said proudly.

That dogged determination served Hansen well in the United States Army, where he studied in the elite Combatives program.

“They ask you ‘Who wins the fight?’ and the answer is, ‘Whoever’s buddy gets there first to help him clean up.’ That’s what Combatives taught me: How to survive that extra 30 da 60 sekund,” Hansen said. “Work ethic is what it taught me. It helped me grow and do things I might have questioned mentally whether or not I could do. Not many people find that extra little motivation. The Army taught me how to find it and utilize it.”

A few years later, Hansen found that inner fire again. Even as he returned to coaching wrestlers in his hometown, his own physical fitness suffered as work and fatherhood took precedence.

Hansen vividly describes sitting in a bean bag chair, eating snack food, watching TV at 2:11 a.m. when his phone rang. He assumed it was a friend in trouble.

“It was (NEF co-owner) Matt Peterson. Our families grew up maybe 200 yards apart. My high school wrestling coach had called him, unbeknownst to me, to tell him he needed to get me back in the cage,” Hansen said.

Three weeks later in 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.

V 15 months that have followed, Hansen has been instrumental in launching Berserkers MMA and building his reputation as both a fighter and an instructor.

Life is blossoming at home, also. Hansen is the father of two girls, starosti 5 in 2, and a boy of four months. His older daughter, Kaydn, often accompanies Dad to the gym at Greater Rumford Community Center. He returns the favor by chaperoning field trips for her kindergarten class.

“She and her friends will be on the playground practicing boxing stances and stuff,” Hansen said. “Her teacher says it’s adorable. Hopefully she is learning to take care of herself so I don’t have to.”

Kaydn’s parents are making plans to take her to her first live NEF show after she turns 6. Za zdaj, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.

“If we’re watching TV together,” Hansen said, “we have a thing where I get two shows and then she gets two shows. If I put in a fight tape, she’ll say, ‘Daddy, I know this doesn’t count as one of your shows, because this is your work.’”

Odprtje zvonec na Junij 18 je določen za 7 p.m. Vstopnice za “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «začetek ob $25 in so na voljo na www.TheColisee.com ali s klicem blagajni Colisée na 207.783.2009, podaljšanje 525.

BOJ Z DENNOM JE KRIŽJE ZA AVTO

Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 14, 2016) – Tako kot številni težki udarci z naslovom, ki jih je napadel New England Fights, Maine avtohtoni Brandon Bushaw (1-2) v svoji bojni športni karieri ni imel več ničesar za dokazati.

Bushaw je svojo sezono državnega prvenstva brez poraza spremenil kot maturant srednje šole Westbrook v Ljubljani 1999 v univerzitetno rokoborsko kariero na Michigan State University, kjer je bil soigralec prvaka UFC v polteški kategoriji Rashada Evansa (19-5-1).

»Bil sem s punco iz srednje šole (Cynthia), zdaj moja žena, tako da sem vedel, da bomo vedno povezani z Maineom,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Razen štipendiranja rokoborbe, Mislil sem, da sem končal z bojem. "

Par se je naselil na Myrtle Beachu, S.C., in odprl Island Bar and Grill, ki so jih imeli v lasti in upravljali ducat let.

Dobro je, udobno življenje. Razširjena družina je obiskala in ugotovila, da je območje tako privlačno, da so ostali za vedno.

Ti konkurenčni sokovi niso nikoli popolnoma izhlapeli, vseeno.

»Imel sem soigralce, ki so se usmerili v mešane borilne veščine,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Gledal sem jih, in ko sem se približal 30, je postala stvar seznama vedr. Zdaj sem tu, 17 kasneje se bori. "

Bushaw, 35, je potovanje razložil v telefonskem intervjuju, ko se je pripravljal na svoj četrti profesionalni dvoboj, peresni spopad z Auburnovim Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-2) na “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «dne Sobota, Junij 18 pri banki Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

Borba je prva Bushawova na svojem prvotnem domačem terenu od leta 2014 izguba z Eliasom Lelandom pri meji 135 kilogramov. Povzpne se do 145 funtov, kjer je priznal, da mu je bolj prijetno (»V moji visoki starosti,"Bushaw je potegnil) za soočenje z Denningom.

"To je čudno, ker sem mislil, da sem s takim tekmovanjem končal, ko sem končal srednjo šolo, ko pa grem domov po vseh teh letih, vsi stari prijatelji, ki jih že leta nisem videl, so me gledali, kako se borim,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Ves čas sem se boril, ampak kadar koli se borim na Myrtle Beachu ali v Mainu, bolj poseben je. "

Nekateri športniki se vrnejo v svojo tekmovalno areno, ker pogrešajo privlačnost navijaške množice.

To velja za Bushawa, do neke mere, čeprav tudi gledalčevo zanimanje, ki ga je pritegnil z modrimi plameni in Spartanci, bledi v primerjavi s tistim, kar ga pozdravlja ob šestkotniku NEF.

»To ni nič drugega kot srednješolska ali celo fakultetna borba,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Prideš in dva sta, tri, štiri tisoč ljudi, ki gledajo. Tako drugačno je. V enem tednu ali celo v enem vikendu ne dobite več možnosti za boj. Traja nekaj minut, nato pa je najvišja od najvišjih ali najnižja od najnižjih. "

Fizični davek in potrebno dopolnilo spretnosti presegata tudi tisto, kar je Bushaw poznal v mladosti.

To odkritje je dosegel približno minuto pred začetkom amaterskega dvoboja.

»MMA je bolj dinamičen kot rokoborba. Spomnim se svojega prvega boja, tip me je pobral in me vrgel dol, jaz pa sem pristal na glavi,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Spomnim se, da sem razmišljal, ‘To verjetno ni bila tako dobra ideja,Ampak našel sem način, da dobim zmago. "

»Lahko si boljši od fanta v štirih različnih kategorijah, če pa je boljši samo v enem, sposoben te je premagati,”Je nadaljeval. "Mislite, da se stvari odvijajo po vaših željah, potem je to največje razočaranje na svetu."

V tistem nepredvidljivem kraljestvu je tovarištvo, ki ga v celoti razumejo samo veterani kletke. Bushaw, ki je treniral s prijatelji iz otroštva Jamiejem Harrisonom in Amosom Collinsom, ugotovil, da je postal prisrčen s skoraj vsemi svojimi predhodnimi nasprotniki.

Denning (3-2) je eden redkih, s katerimi je Bushaw (1-2) so postali prijatelji na družabnih omrežjih pred njihovim spopadom.

»To je nekako čudno, ampak vse te stvari gredo skozi okno,”Je rekel Bushaw. »Boril se je z mojim prijateljem Domom Cofoneom. Je lokalni fant. Vem, da bo zame hud izziv. "

V mnogih pogledih gre za križišče Bushawa, ki je priznal, da razmišlja o upokojitvi iz tega športa.

»Verjetno zadnjih pet borb, v katerih sem že rekel, ‘Še en boj in končal sem,’In potem nadaljujem. Nikogar se ne izogibam,"Je dejal. »Moj zadnji boj je bil proti otroku, ki je bil 23 na Tajskem pa je bil dve leti ali nekaj več (stvari). Takrat bi lahko rekel, 'Kaj počnem?'

»Zame je to družina, potem posel, nato boj. Za veliko teh mlajših fantov, boj je prvi, in to je izziv. "

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 2, 2016) - Kvečjemu New England Fights (NEF) Dogodki, Steve Bang, Sr. (1-1) bi bil na drugi strani kletke, bodisi gledal, kako se eden od njegovih sinov bojuje, bodisi kot zdravnik v kletki. Junij 18, 2016, vseeno, kot že dvakrat v preteklosti, Bang bo vstopil v kletko mešanih borilnih veščin (MMA) v Lewistonu kot tekmec. The 46 letni bariatrični kirurg iz Auburna, Maine bo nadaljeval 48 year-old Stacy Lupo (0-0) v amaterskem MMA lahkem dvoboju na “NEF 24: OBLJUBLJENA DEŽELA.”

 

“Obožujem tekmovanje in kako nas vodi k izboljšanju in postajanju popolnejša različica sebe,” je dejal dr. Bang. “Minilo je leto dni, odkar sem se boril v kletki. Preteklo leto je bilo napolnjeno z doseganjem osebnih mejnikov in športnih ciljev, še veliko jih je bilo še treba uresničiti. Sredi vsega tega kaosa, zvezde so se znova poravnale, da mi dajo priložnost, da ponovno vstopim v bojno areno, kjer je vložek konkurence, zame, so najvišje.”

 

Doma iz Rivertona, Wyoming, Dr. Bang je diplomiral na univerzi Brigham Young v Ljubljani 1994 in nato z univerzitetne šole za osteopatijo Des Moines v Ljubljani 1998. Prihaja s področja medicine, dobro se zaveda tveganj, ki jih prevzame vsakič, ko vstopi v kletko.

 

“Le nekaj dni po obračanju 47, I will face a warrior intent upon bodily harm and yet I find myself incredibly blessed and thankful for the health and privilege to do so,” Dr. Bang continued. “I bring the health of mind, body and spirit beyond what is required to just be a participant. I have checked all of the boxes that give me the tools required to be a victorious warrior at any age.”

 

Dr. Bang currently trains alongside his sons at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Steve Bang, Jr. (1-1), Skyler Bang (0-0), Shawn Bang (1-1) and foster son Conner Murphy (1-0) will join their father in cage competition at “NEF 24.”

 

“I am passionate about my training, and take advantage of every metric available to quantify and qualify that training. By every metric, I am at my peak performance levels. I am in the best shape of my life, better than I have ever been. One day that trend will indeed head south, but today is not that day. I do not take this health and privilege for granted. Every moment of life and every opportunity we are given is a gift and I plan to take full advantage of it as if it were my last.”

 

Dr. Bang’s opponent, pri “NEF 24,” Stacy Lupo, while making his debut in the MMA cage, is a longtime veteran of combat sports. Lupo currently trains out of the Shatterproof Combat Club in Dexter, Maine, but he has been a martial artist for an amazing 32 let. He holds black belts in both Taekwondo and Shotokan karate. He was an accomplished wrestler in high school, placing in states his senior year. For more than a decade, Lupo ran his own martial arts academy before closing shop to concentrate on raising his family. In the 1980s and 1990s, Lupo competed in amateur boxing and kickboxing. His last kickboxing bout saw him win a unanimous decision over Don Labbe in the main event of a 1995 card in Lewiston.

 

“I don’t know Steve personally, but like me, he is an old man in a young man’s sport, so I give him his due and my respect,” said Lupo. “As the saying goes, ‘be wary of old men in a world where men die young.’ I want to thank him for giving me the chance to compete in a sport I’ve always loved – tako, thank you Steven Bang, I look forward to our meeting.”

 

“I do not know my opponent personally, but I respect anyone willing to do what it takes to get to the cage door,” said Bang in closing. “That next single step across the threshold commands another whole level of respect. As with the warriors of old, we will battle with the same intensity to maim, kill or disable until compelled to mercy by the referee. Then we will have a bond that cannot be understood, nor shared, by anyone who has never been there.”

HAITIAN SENSATION WILL MAKE NEF DEBUT ON JUNE 18

Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Maj 31, 2016) – The Androscoggin Bank Colisée has a storied history of professional boxing inside the arena’s four walls. On Junij 18, Russell “Haitijska senzacija” Lamour, Jr. (13-2, 6 Kos) will add the next chapter to that story when he enters the New England Fights (NEF) ring for the first time. Na “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” Lamour will make his NEF debut in a middleweight bout against Mexican veteran Roberto “The Old” Valenzuela (69-71-2, 56 Kos).

 

“Definitely excited to be making my NEF debut,” said Lamour. “NEF does a lot of shows here in Maine, and from what I hear it’s always a packed show. So I’m looking forward being on this card. I am excited about fighting at the Colisée ’cause I can then say that I fought in the same building that Muhammad Ali fought in and also that it’s right here at home in Maine. Fighting here at home again is always a great feeling, especially when you’re fighting in front of the people that support you the most. Can’t ask for anything better than that when fighting here in your backyard.”

 

A native of Brooklyn, New York, Lamour entered the Portland Boxing Club shortly after graduating from Deering High School in Portland, Maine. He had a stellar amateur boxing career, finishing with a record of 79-16. Among his numerous amateur accomplishments, Lamour was a five-time New England regional Golden Gloves champion. He competed in the semi-pro World Series of Boxing (WSB) where he was the number-one ranked middleweight in the Americas.

 

Lamour’s success carried over to the professional ranks where he won his first 11 Konci. Over the course of that impressive run, Lamour would capture the vacant USA New England Middleweight Title with a TKO victory over Laatekwei Hammond (21-6) in Lamour’s hometown of Portland, Maine. Lamour has competed on ESPN’s Petek Night Fights before a national audience. Prejšnji mesec, he scored a TKO win over Borngod Washington (3-17) in Salem, New Hampshire. Lamour hopes to make it two in a row with a win over Valenzuela on Junij 18.

 

“He is a journeymen,” Lamour said of his upcoming opponent. “He’s been fighting for a while and has seen many different styles, but to me he’s just someone else that’s in my pathway that I have to beat to get to where I want to be, so I have to get him out of my way.”

 

Roberto Valenzuela is no stranger to Maine fight fans. He travelled from his home in Sonora, Mexico to Lewiston, Maine last fall to battle Brandon “Cannon” Berry (11-1-1). Valenzuela would lose the bout via unanimous decision, but he impressed all in attendance with his gritty performance, roughing up Berry and cutting him above the eye in the process. Valenzuela has faced the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (31-4, 24 Kos) in Steve Forbes (35-14, 11 Kos) in sedanji svetovni prvak Zahir Raheem (35-3, 21 Kos). He held the Mexican Pacific Coast Super Featherweight Title from 2003 da 2007.

 

“I am very excited to come back to Maine and fight again,” dejal Valenzuela preko prevajalca. “I love New England, and I’ve fought in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island during the course of my career. I’ve also worked corners in Connecticut and been pulled over for speeding in New Hampshire, so that must count for something. The last time I was in Maine, I busted open Brandon Berry’s eye and waged a bloody war. I’m ready to do the same with Russell Lamour. I hope he’s ready too.”

Mike Hansen won two state wrestling championships competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) in Rumford, Maine.

After retiring from the Army, Hansen returned to Maine and opened Berserkers MMA in Rumford, where he trains other MVHS alum to compete in the NEF cage. OnJunij 18, Hansen will face Robert Laroski (1-1).

 

“I hope he’s been training, ’cause I’ve been active starting this year,” said Hansen. “I’m looking for a win coming off my last fight. I will find his weaknesses and exploit them. I’m looking for the finish, and it won’t take long. Just over 51 Pred leti, (Muhammad) Ali got the first round, first minute stoppage over (Sonny) Liston right at the Colisee. My fight will end in similar fashion, under the same roof.”

 

CJ Ewer is a proud member of the United States Air Force security forces. When he is not overseas serving his country, Ewer can be found back home in the Bangor, Maine area training at Young’s MMA. After a successful amateur career, he submitted Zenon Herrera in his pro debut earlier this year. On Junij 18, Ewer will take on “The Fresh Prince” Phil Rowe (1-2) from Florida.

NO MORE DRAWS; THERE MUST BE A WINNER IN NORTHEAST TITLE FIGHT

Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Maj 25, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF) vrne na ANDROSCOGGIN Bank Colisée v Lewiston, Maine naJunij 18, 2016 s “NEF 24: OBLJUBLJENA DEŽELA.” The fight promotion will put on another full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) cagefights and pro boxing bouts. Že danes, NEF executives announced the headline fight for the boxing portion of the fight card. West Forks, Maine’s own Brandon “Cannon” Berry (11-1-1) will put the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title on the line in a rematch against Detroit, Michigan’s James “Bad City iz Motor Cityja” Lester (10-9-1).

 

Berry and Lester met earlier this spring at “NEF 22” v Lewiston. The six-round bout was ruled a majority draw on the judges’ zdravstvu. Tokrat, vseeno, NEF executives had a trick up their sleeves – add a seventh round to all but guarantee a winner.

 

Berry won the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title in October 2014 in Lewiston against West Virginia Toughman Champion Eric Palmer (4-3-3). He has been the kingpin of the 140-pound division in the Northeast ever since. The draw against Lester halted a three-fight win streak Berry had been on since returning from a shoulder injury last year.

 

“I think the main difference in a rematch between me and James will be more action,” Berry predicted. “We both know what we bring to the table, we both enjoy pleasing the crowd, and we both want to win. I think those are some key ingredients to a great matchup. I have a lot of respect for James , his boxing ability, and what he brings to the table. I was impressed with his speed, his all around toughness, and his ring generalship. I’m excited to headline another card in Lewiston, and can’t wait for the crowd to enjoy my fight, along with a few other boxing matches that include some talented Maine boxers. I hope that we can draw a big crowd and have a quality night of fights. See you all on the 18th!”

 

“I’m most definitely looking forward to fighting in Maine again,” said Lester, a former top-ranked national amateur boxer. “The fans there are awesome. I even gained a few fans from my last fight who’s been messaging me on a regular like a young guy by the name of Hunter Moore who messages me every week making sure I’m training hard for the rematch.”

 

Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where 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), med drugim, have prepared for world title bouts under legendary trainer, the late Emanuel Steward. “The only thing that will be different this time is I will be in better condition. That was my only downfall last time. This time I’ll be able to box and stay on my toes for the tough pressure that Brandon brings.”
