EWER WILL TRY TO MAKE CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY AT NEF 32

Залишити коментар

Льюїстон, Мен (Грудня 28, 2017) - New England Бої (NEF) returns to Lewiston on Saturday, Лютого 3, 2018 з наступним подією змішаних бойових мистецтв в продукту, що просувається боротися в, “NEF 32: Super Saturday.” Раніше сьогодні, NEF announced the addition of a professional championship bout to the card. CJ Ewer (3-0) зустрінеться Kemran Лачинов (5-2) for the vacant NEF MMA Professional Welterweight Title.

 

 

The bout will put Ewer in a unique position – to hold titles simultaneously in two weight divisions. It is a feat that has been attempted but never accomplished in NEF. Ewer is the reigning professional middleweight titleholder of the organization. He captured that title with a victory over Mike Hansen (5-8) last summer at “NEF 30” in Bangor, Мен. It took Ewer less than two minutes to finish Hansen with an arm triangle choke. The win not only earned Ewer the middleweight title but also a nomination for “2017 Submission of the Year.” Should Ewer emerge victorious over Lachinov on February 3, he will stand atop both the welterweight and middleweight divisions. He represents Young’s MMA of Bangor.

 

 

“My opponent is fierce with a granite jaw and an iron will,” сказав Глечик. “He’s by far the toughest fighter I’ve faced, and there will be a lot of pressure going into this fight given that it’s a title fight. I always rise to the level of competition and promise you’ll see the best, most prepared CJ you’ve ever seen.”

 

 

Kemran Lachinov is a seven-year veteran of the New England MMA scene. He is also a two-fight veteran of the Bellator cage where he remains undefeated. Lachinov is currently riding a three-fight win streak which began in early 2017. He will look to continue that success into 2018 starting with his bout against Ewer. Lachinov represents Team Link of Ludlow, Массачусетс.

 

 

NeF в наступному змішаних бойових мистецтв подія, “NEF 32: Super Saturday,” бачитиме, що компанія робить його повернення до Androscoggin Bank Colisee в Льюістон, Мен. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Лютого 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.TheColisee.com.

Річард “Popeye the Sailor Man” Рівера
Good to finish because he eats his spinach
Russell Kimber wins pro debut
HAMPTON, N годину. (Грудня 9, 2017) — Colorful light heavyweight prospect Річард “Папай Морячок Людина” Рівера залишився непереможеним (5-0, 4 КО), ветеран Роберто “Старий” Валенсуела, last night (Сб) в “Rumble at The RIM” головна подія, представлений Granite Chin Promotions, at The RIM Sports Complex in Hampton, Нью-Гемпшир.
Рівера, fighting out of Hartford (Коннектикут), controlled the action from the opening bell against his battle-tested opponent from Mexico, who had a tremendous experience advantage in his 147ї pro fight, compared to Rivera’s fifth.
Valenzuela spent most of the time on the ropes, while Rivera teed-off on him, until a beautiful placed left hook by Rivera decked Valenzuela, who failed to get up until after referee Майк Райан completed the 10-count.
A busload of Rivera’s fans drove five hours from Hartford through a snowstorm, arriving just before Rivera entered the ring. “That means a lot to me,” Rivera smiled as he spoke about his fans. “We’re more than a gym, ми сім'я.
“I was so used to an amateur style but now I’m a pro. I’m relaxing and picking my punches. Наступний, I want to win the New England title. It’s vacant and I want it!”
“This was our first show in New Hampshire and I consider it a success,” co-promoter Chuck Shearnз сказав, “despite some things going against us like tonight’s weather. We’re grateful for the support we received from Hampton, Нью-Гемпшир, the commission and local businesses. They worked with us and we can’t wait to return.”
The son and nephew of multiple-time world kickboxing champions – father Tommy and uncle – worked his corner — Peabody, Массачусетс Russell Kimber had a promising pro debut against tough Nathan Schulte in a match contested at a 185-pound catchweight. The 32-year-old Kimber, who was the crowd favorite having lived several years in New Hampshire, overcame the determined Schulte for a hard-fought victory by way of a four-round majority decision.
“I was a little nervous with this being my first time in a pro ring,” Kimber admitted after his fight. “I hadn’t been in a ring for 1 ½ years and there was some ring rust. Зараз, I know what I need to good, and I’ll be a lot better next fight. This was my first camp and I’ve learned a lot. I’d like to stay busy, come back in late January, early February.”
Undefeated Whitman, MA junior welterweight prospect Майк “Bad Man” JE, Молодший.charged across the ring, unloading a powerful right that immediately sent Bardraiel Smith to the canvas. Smith somehow got to his feet but Ohan quickly ended Smith’s night, only 30-second into round one, as referee Ryan waved off the action.
New England cruiserweight champion and the show’s co-promoter, Iraq War veteran Кріс Траєтті (25-5, 19 КО) outclassed Fabian Valdez en route to a win by second-round knockout in a stay-busy fight to close out 2017. In a non-title fight contested at a 185-pounds catchweight, the Quincy, MA-based Traietti floored his game Mexican opponent with a straight right midway through the opening round, closing the show in the second round with a series of unanswered punches.
The only New Hampshire native on the card, Claremont junior middleweight Ricky Ford(1-1-1) won his first pro fight, taking a lop-sided, four-round unanimous decision over pro MMA fighter Andy Aiello, who made his pro boxing debut.
In another stay-busy fight, former world-rated Райан “Польський князь” Kielczweski(27-3, 9 КО), fighting out of Quincy (Массачусетс), needed only 51-seconds to finish off Mexican lightweight Франциско “Мавпа” Medal. Kielczweski hit Medal with a with a lethal left to the body, leaving Medal in obvious pain and unable to rise before the 10-count.
New Jersey middleweight Кріс “Sandman” Томас (7-0-1, 4 КО) kept his unbeaten pro record intact with a second-round stoppage of Demetrius Thomas. Thomas used a rapid-fire combination to drop Thomas, who beat the count, but he was getting hammered when referee Ryan stopped the fight late in the second round.

“Collegiate Fight Night” Homecoming for two West Point Cadet Boxers Luca LoConte Botis & Jack Ward

Залишити коментар
Субота, Листопад. 11 in Winchester, Массачусетс
(L-Р) – Luca LoConte Botis, head coach Ray Barone, and Jack Ward
WINCHESTER, Маса. (Жовтень 29, 2017) – “Collegiate Fight Night”, presented by the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) in association with USA Boxing, в суботу ніч (7 p.m. І початок), Листопад 11, will be a homecoming for a pair of West Point Cadets boxers with close ties to the town of Winchester (Массачусетс), Luca LoConte Botis і Jack Ward.
Ten amateur bouts are on tap at Maurer Auditorium in Winchester Town Hall (on Mt. Vernon St.) as the Cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point are matched against a New England all-star caliber team comprised of boxers from the Coast Guard Academy (New London, Коннектикут), University of Massachusetts, University of Connecticut, Trinity College and Harvard University.
West Point requires all its Cadets, male and female, to take 19 lessons of boxing and that, combined with the program’s tremendous success in competition over the years, results in its relatively high number of boxers (40) on a college boxing team. West Point voluntary head boxing coach Ray Barone is a military retiree who taught at West Point.
“Luca and Jack work hard in the gym and are leaders amongst their peers,” Coach Barone said. “They are top-of-the-line guys and we’re fortunate to have both on our team. West Point is a high-end academic school, like an Ivy League school, and we aren’t allowed to recruit boxers.
“We have another great group of boxers this year. It’s always, ‘Yes, сер; НЕ, сер’ and they’re all very articulate. Luca and Jack, like other boxers on our team, are very respectful. Luca is a very good boxer who could very well be in the Fight of the Night. Jack came here as a football player and he’ll be in his first boxing match on November 11ї.”
LoConte Botis and Ward, who has close to a 4.0 GPA, are sophomores who aspire to be Infantry officers upon graduation from West Point.
Luca attended West Point Prep School for one year before entering West Point Military Academy. A 2015 graduate of Winchester High School, he started boxing at a young age, capturing top honors in the New England Junior Olympics, and he developed his skills at Peter Welch’s Gym in South Boston, as well as with the Rivera brothers at the Somerville Boxing Club.
Because he always intended to box at West Point, Luca contacted boxing officials there when he was still in high school, and he knew the coaches and boxers before he officially got there. З 18 (11-7) amateur matches under his belt, Luca has invaluable experience in a sport he passionately views as a lifestyle, much more than a sport
“I am from Winchester and look at this show as a homecoming,” Luca remarked. “I fought there once as a freshman and now I want to show everybody at home that I’ve grown. I’m no longer a boy, I’m growing into a man, and boxing has a lot to do with that. Styles make fights and I know who I’m fighting. I plan to relax in the ring and give everybody a real show. I’m going to have a lot of fun, занадто, and leave with a smile on my face.
“I become a better version of myself, щодня, by getting in the ring. Boxing takes its toll on the body and mind but, if I have a tough day academically or during military training, I get that anger out in the gym. Boxing is a release for me. It reminds me why I’m here. What I overcome in the ring, I can do in any other way. I plan to compete in the Golden Gloves this year and as an officer, I will lead men and women soldiers.”
Ward grew-up in Hampton, Нью-Гемпшир, but he has roots in Winchester, which he considers his second home. Jack attended Salisbury School, в Коннектикуті, and he was recruited as a football player. He decided not to play football at West Point and, despite having no prior experience as a boxer, he joined the West Point Boxing Team after meeting Coach Barone and some members of the squad.
“Я люблю конкурувати, discipline and conditioning and I’ve never been in as good shape as I am now as a boxer,” Jack explained. “Boxing adds to my overall development, розумово і фізично, and the it will help me become a more effective leader: Calm under pressure, в і з кільця.
“Because my entire mother’s side is from Winchester, my extended family lives in Winchester, which is like home for me. I’m very happy to be boxing for the first time there and I plan on having a great outing.”
Former professional world champions “Ірландський” Міккі Уорд (Лоуелл) – no relations to Jack Ward — і Jose Antonio “Gallo” Рівера (Вустер) will be special guests at “Collegiate Fight Night”.

“It’s tough to judge,” said the Polish native who lives in nearby Marshfield (Массачусетс) regarding her position for another world title shot opportunity. “Сподіваюся, що це так. I respect her but I felt that I should implement my sharper skills. She fought hard and came at me. I thought she’d go flat in the later rounds but she didn’t.

“I’m always tough on myself, Wayne (Лопес, her trainer and husband) was happy. I feel that I should have taken it to her more and I got caught up in clinches too much. The heat was difficult, I felt heated before the fight. I was more tired than usual and I let her come in winging wild punches.”
