BOYINGTON GOES ras għal ras mal DAYS Raio QABEL IL-ĠLIEDA: “I'M gonna GO fil hemm u jeqirdu lilu”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Ġunju 10, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” din is-Sibt lejl, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Recently, headliners Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8), l-NEF MMA Professjonali Lightweight Champion, u John “Ewwel Klassi” Ray(2-7) ssieħbu NEF ko-proprjetarju u matchmaker Matt Peterson fuq speċjali “Ras għal-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, fost suġġetti oħra.

 

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 “mewġa idejn.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington prinċipali sostna li huwa kien sempliċement sinjalar għal fannijiet tiegħu fil-folla li l-istiva ma kienet tagħmel ebda ħsara.

 

“I jista 'jgħidlek kif dak il-lejl ntemmet,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Bażikament, 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, u kif I grabbed bicep xellug tiegħi u tax-xellug tiegħi kien għaddej wara kap tiegħu, l-ref waqqaf il-ġlieda… I kien étonné li hu kien sfruttat minħabba, onestament, Jien kont naf li kelli ħafna pressjoni fuq xedaq tiegħu… Jekk fil-fatt kien waving, li sucks għalih.”

 

“F'dik is-sitwazzjoni, Jiena speċifikament remember BICKFORD tħares lejn me, Jien jiffaċċjaw up, huwa għaddej għal għonq tiegħi u jien waving,” Said Boyington. “Kulħadd jibda roaring loud reali u I remember BICKFORD qal, "L-ebda Bruce, inti ma tista 'tgħid li "… Jekk inti taħseb li jien sottomissjoni jew jien fl-inkwiet jew ma tistax nifs, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inti ma tistax tgħid li,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Nara ħafna affarijiet differenti li John qal online, u ħafna affarijiet nies oħra qalu, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Qabel ma Boyington jċedu lura tiegħu, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tabilħaqq, 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.

 

“Inevitabbilment, Naħseb John se kont qed knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “I do not think jien gonna jissottomettu lilu, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Naħseb jekk il-ref ma waqfitx fil-ħin, meta I kien fuq xedaq tiegħu ma driegħ tiegħi u I kien jilħaq wara l-għonq tiegħu,” Ray spekula, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Allura, I ma naħsibx li kieku stajt marret għat-tieni rawnd.”

 

Fil-jiem, ġimgħat u xhur wara l-ġlieda, 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,” kemm atleti mimsus fuq dak il-rematch tfisser għalihom, u dak li għandhom bżonn biex jipprova dan weekend li ġejjin.

 

“I biss ma tistax tmur fil hemm u taħbit John,” Said Boyington. “Anke partitarji tiegħu stess qed jistennew li… I ma tistax biss jmorru fil hemm fuq Ġunju 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Naf li, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, minħabba li l-driegħ l-ieħor lanqas ma huwa taħdem id-dritt issa… 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.”

 

“Fir-rigward Bruce irfinar me malajr, u jagħmilha faċli, u mhux verament inkwetanti dwar il-ġlieda wisq, I biss jsibuha turi diżrispett bħal ħafna affarijiet hu qal lili, familja tiegħi u l-ħbieb tiegħi,” replied Raio. “Kien hemm żminijiet wara l-aħħar ġlieda meta n-nies kienu feraħ me (fuq 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. Allura, wara li għidt "Bruce u I ma humiex verament ħbieb jibqgħalu,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… imma meta n-nies diżrispett me simili hu għandu huwa diffiċli li bħall-Guy.”

PROFESSIONAL LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Ħalli kumment

Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 29, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the fight card. Mike “L-MOUSTACHE” Hansen (2-1) huwa skedat li jissodisfaw Cody Anderson (1-2) fi piż ġlieda ta '205-liri.

 

A native of Rumford, Maine, Hansen won a state championship in 2004 wrestling for Mountain Valley High School. After graduation, Hansen began training in MMA and made a successful debut in 2005. He would put his MMA career on hold to serve his country in the United States Army as a combat engineer. Aktar kmieni din is-sena, Hansen returned to the sport and founded Berserkers MMA in his hometown of Rumford. His first fight in the cage in nearly a decade saw him triumph over Artie Mullen (0-11) this past February at “NEF XVI.”

 

“I’m pumped to be have an opponent like Cody,” said Hansen of the upcoming fight with Anderson. “He is a real tough guy and this should be a great battle.”

 

Cody Anderson is a member of Team Triumph/Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Nashua, New Hampshire. Formerly a top-ranked amateur, Anderson put together a perfect 5-0 record over the course of his amateur career. He turned pro in the fall of 2012, winning his debut over Hector Sanchez (3-12). Anderson’s last appearance in NEF saw him submitted in the final moments of his bout with Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-2) fi “NEF VII” sentejn ilu. Anderson had been winning the bout to that point, turning in a “fight of the night” performance along with his opponent.

 

“I’ve been away too long,” said Anderson. “Even with no fight camp and only two weeks notice, I will put my hands on this guy and put him to sleep.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Ħalli kumment

 

Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 21, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) jiffaċċjaw Johnny Snajja (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

 

Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, Maine, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the Ġunju 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “NEF XVIII,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.

 

“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so Ġunju 13 can’t get here fast enough.”

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “NEF XVIII,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 Rookie tas-Sena” by NEF fans.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”

Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 19, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, il-promozzjoni ħabbret l-karta ġlieda sħiħ għall-avveniment.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professjonali Lightweight Champion Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Ewwel Klassi” Ray (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. That win, madankollu, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Ġunju 13 fil Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, u 2014 “Fighter tas-Sena,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Il-Kelb Junkyard” Ryan Cowette (2-2) fi bout middleweight. Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

 

In other professional bouts: Jesse “Il Viking” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “NEF XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; u Elias “Periklu Mouse” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Ċad “Machine Gun” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.

 

“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 Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) uRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

 

In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) kwadri off kontra Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

 

A women’s fight will also be featured on the amateur card withAlex Walker (0-1) jiffaċċjaw Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 fi “NEF XVII” last month with her “Ġlieda tal-Lejl” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 8, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Il Viking” Erickson (4-4) huwa skedat li jissodisfaw Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) affiljat – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). L-aħħar xahar, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

“After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “Fl-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.”

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Maine, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “NEF XVII” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

“I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” Said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.”

MILITARY VETERAN IN BATTLE OF NATIONAL HONOR AT NEF XVIII

GĦALL-ĦRUĠ IMMEDJAT: Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 6, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will make his debut in the 135-pound division against Canadian Jeremy DiChiara (1-0).

 

Shorey is a fitting choice to face the native Ontarian on the patriotic-themed event. A 2000 graduate of Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where he won a Class-C state wrestling title in 1998, Shorey is a veteran of the United States Navy. He served four years of active duty in the branch, and did a tour of Iraq as a member of SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27.

 

Currently the head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club, Shorey is coming off a victory over John Raio (2-7) aħħar xahar fil “XVII NEF.” The win gave Shorey the upper hand in the three-fight rivalry between the two athletes dating back to their amateur days. While he has gotten off to a good start to his professional career, Shorey will be the first to admit he has more work to do, and the upcoming battle with DiChiara will be a real test of his skills, especially on the mat.

 

“It is truly an honor to fight in front of the NEF fans and represent this rapidly growing brand against a very dangerous opponent,” Said Shorey. “I feel that I still have a lot to prove to the fans, as well as myself in regards to the fighter I’m becoming, and distancing myself from my amateur days. Jeremy is an undefeated purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu, which everyone knows has been my biggest weakness. I see this as an opportunity to show everyone that I’m fixing the problem, and hand a very game opponent his first loss.”

 

Holding a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), DiChiara will undoubtedly test Shorey should the fight go to the ground. DiChiara is undefeated in MMA competition, having gone 2-0 as an amateur and now 1-0 bħala professjonali. He is accustomed to fighting in hostile territory with previous bouts in Michigan and half a world away in Thailand. While in Thailand, DiChiara trained with Phuket Top Team. He is presently a member of Canadian team Wulfrun MMA.

GĦALL-ĦRUĠ IMMEDJAT: Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 1, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. The bout will feature Corey Hinkley (2-3) kontra Cory Trial (0-1) at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Cory Trial made his NEF MMA debut this past February at “NEF XVI.” While Trial came out on the losing end of the fight, he showed powerful striking skills in a wild slugfest with Ricky Dexter (3-0). It is a fighting style that Trial and his teammates at Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, Maine have become known for. It is a style that has also produced some of the most memorable fights on the last several NEF events. Ruthless head coach Josh Parker (4-8) is confident in Trial’s ability to finish the bout coming up on Ġunju 13.

 

“When Cory walked into my gym, I knew I had something special,” Said Parker. “The guy is an animal, and in June he will be looking to show everyone that in his last fight the lights killed him. This fight won’t be going out of the first round.”

 

“Jien eċċitati għal din il-ġlieda,” exclaimed Trial. “Excited to get another chance to show people who I am as a fighter. Aħħar darba, I was overwhelmed with the lights and the crowd. Din id-darba, the real Cory will be in the cage, and I’ll be looking for the finish.”

 

When they meet at “NEF XVIII,” it will have been nine months since the last time Trial’s opponent, Corey Hinkley, stepped in the cage to compete. After starting his amateur career at 2-1, Hinkley has dropped his last two in a row. He and his coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), Jesse Erickson (3-3), say that Hinkley has been training harder than ever for his return and has put personal issues behind him since his last appearance for NEF.

 

“I’ve had a lot of personal things going on in my life in the past, but I’m now able to train the way I’ve been needing to and I’m coming back stronger than ever,” said Hinkley.

 

“I have never seen Corey so focused,” stated Erickson. “He’s training harder than he has for any of his previous fights, and I can’t wait to watch him do his thing in June!”

BANTAMWEIGHTS POISED TO STEAL THE SHOW AT NEF XVIII

Ħalli kumment

 

 

GĦALL-ĦRUĠ IMMEDJAT: Lewiston, Maine (April 30, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. The contest will feature Elias “Periklu Mouse” Leland (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite Ċad “Machine Gun” Kelly (3-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

“Chad Kelly and Eli Leland are two guys who couldn’t put on a boring fight if they tried,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Chad had the ‘Fight of the Night’ on one of the first cards I ever promoted in Massachusetts years ago. I’ve followed his career since and have seen how far he’s come. Eli’s fights always steal the show on the NEF events. Fans will only need the edge of their seats for this one.”

 

Kelly last appeared in the NEF cage in the fall of 2013 fi “NEF X.” That night, he defeated NEF regular Ernesto Ornelas (1-5) via second-round submission. Kelly has regularly competed in the flyweight 125-pound division throughout his career, but he and his coaches at The Fighting Arts Academy (FAA) in Leominster, Massachusetts decided to make the transition up to bantamweight beginning with the upcoming fight against Leland.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting for NEF in Lewiston, Maine again,” stated Kelly when reached for comment. “I fought for them my second pro fight and I loved the way they treat their fighters and how smooth everything went – aktar, getting the ‘W’ was nice. This fight I’m moving up to bantamweight. My coaches and I thought it was the right time. I started fighting at 19 and just have gained weight and have a massive cut to 125, plus I train with good 35ers and 45ers and do better when I’m heavier. Elias Leland is a tough grappler with good submissions. I’m sure he will be tough, but I think I will have an advantage everywhere the fight goes.”

 

Leland, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine, will look to avenge a loss he suffered earlier this month to Jay Perrin (2-0) fi “XVII NEF.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) f'Settembru 2011. Leland has become known as a finisher over the years, submitting four opponents and defeating one via technical knockout (WHO) at previous NEF events.

 

“I have nothing but respect for anyone that is willing to fight me,” Said Leland. “Madankollu, coming off a loss, I’m pissed and hungry as hell. This will be an exciting fight for anyone that sees it. So you all better be there to see an amazing show.”
