BOYINGTON GOES head-to-head med Raio DAGER FØR KAMPEN: “Jeg skal gå inn der og ryddet ham”

Legg igjen en kommentar

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Juni 10, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” denne lørdagen natt, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Nylig, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Lett Champion, og John “Første klasse” Ray(2-7) sluttet NEF medeier og matchmaker Matt Peterson på en spesiell “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, blant andre emner.

 

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 “hånd bølge.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington har hevdet at han var bare signaliserte til sine fans i mengden at sperringen ikke gjorde noen skade.

 

“Jeg kan fortelle deg hvordan den kvelden endte,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “I utgangspunktet, 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, og som jeg tok min venstre biceps og min venstre hånd skulle bak hodet, Dommeren stoppet kampen… Jeg ble overrasket over at han hadde tappet fordi, ærlig, Jeg visste at jeg hadde mye press på kjeven hans… Hvis faktisk ble han vinket, som suger for ham.”

 

“I en slik situasjon, Jeg spesielt husker Bickford ser på meg, Jeg er forsiden opp, han kommer for halsen min og jeg vinket,” Said Boyington. “Alle begynner brøl virkelig høyt, og jeg husker Bickford sier, «Ingen Bruce, du kan ikke si at "… Hvis du tror at jeg sender eller jeg er i trøbbel eller ikke kan puste, you don’t tell the fighter, “Du kan ikke si at,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Jeg ser mange forskjellige ting som John har sagt online, og en masse ting andre har sagt, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Før Boyington gi opp ryggen, many felt he had been winning that first round. Faktisk, 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.

 

“Uunngåelig, Jeg tror John ville har blitt slått ut,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Jeg tror ikke jeg skal sende ham, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Jeg tror at hvis dommeren ikke stoppe på tiden, da jeg var på hans kjeven med underarmen min og jeg var kommet bak nakken,” Ray spekulert, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Så, Jeg tror ikke det ville har gått til en ny runde.”

 

I dagene, ukene og månedene etter kampen, 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,” både idrettsutøvere rørte på hva omkamp betyr for dem, og hva de trenger å bevise dette kommende helg.

 

“Jeg kan bare ikke gå inn der og slå John,” Said Boyington. “Selv hans egne fans forventer at… Jeg kan ikke bare gå inn der på 13 juniand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Jeg vet det, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, fordi den andre armen ikke engang fungerer akkurat nå… 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.”

 

“I forhold til Bruce behandling meg raskt, og gjør det enkelt, og egentlig ikke å bry deg om kampen for mye, Jeg bare synes det er respektløst som en masse ting han har sagt til meg, min familie og mine venner,” replied Raio. “Det var tider etter den siste kampen når folk gratulerte meg (på 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. Så, etter at jeg sa "Bruce og jeg er egentlig ikke venner lenger,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… men når folk ikke respekterer meg som han har det vanskelig å like fyren.”

PROFESSIONAL LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Mai 29, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the fight card. Mike “Den Mustache” Hansen (2-1) er planlagt å møte Cody Anderson (1-2) på en kamp vekt på 205-pounds.

 

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. Tidligere i år, 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) ved “NEF VII” to år siden. 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

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

Lewiston, Maine (Mai 21, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) vendt Johnny Crafts (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 Juni 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 13 juni 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 of the Year” 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 (Mai 19, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, fremming annonserte full kampen kort for hendelsen.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional Lett Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Første klasse” 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, men, 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 Juni 13 i Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, og 2014 “Fighter of the Year,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) i en mellomvekt bout. 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 “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); “Splint 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; og Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Tsjad “Maskingevær” 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) ogRyan 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) firkanter off mot 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) vendt Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 ved “NEF XVII” last month with her “Fight of the Night” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Mai 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: Laget i Amerika,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Viking” Erickson (4-4) er planlagt å møte 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) affiliate – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Forrige måned, 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. “I min siste kamp, 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.”

 

NEF sin neste MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Laget i Amerika” vil stamme fra Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine i juni 13, 2015.

FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (Mai 6, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: Laget i Amerika,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, fremming annonsert tillegg av en profesjonell bantamvekt bout til kampen kortet. “Splint 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) forrige måned på “NEF XVII.” 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 som en profesjonell. 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.

FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (Mai 1, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: Laget i Amerika,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. The bout will feature Corey Hinkley (2-3) mot 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 Juni 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.”

 

“Jeg er begeistret for denne kampen,” exclaimed Trial. “Excited to get another chance to show people who I am as a fighter. Sist, I was overwhelmed with the lights and the crowd. Denne gangen, 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

FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (April 30, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sin attende mixed-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet, “NEF XVIII: Laget i Amerika,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, fremming annonsert tillegg av en profesjonell bantamvekt bout til kampen kortet. The contest will feature Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite Tsjad “Maskingevær” 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,” sa NEF medeier og 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 ved “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 – mer, 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) ved “NEF XVII.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) i september 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. “Men, 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.”
