AMATEUR FEATHERWEIGHT MMA TITLE UP FOR GRABS ON JUNE 13 U LEWISTON

April 23, 2015 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

Lewiston, Mejn (April 22, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju osamnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Subota, Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, Mejn. Ranije danas, the promotion announced that the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Champion will be crowned that evening when Aaron “Nemilosrdan” Lacey (5-1) poprima Alex Johnson (2-1). The fight will take place at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

A member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Mejn, Aaron Lacey had a phenomenal start to his amateur career, finishing his first three opponents before dropping a decision to Matt Tullos (7-0) on a card in New Hampshire. Lacey fired back, winning his next two in a row over Dom Cofone (5-5) and Nick Spencer (5-4) odnosno. Lacey is a perfect 4-0 in the NEF cage and he will look to continue that streak and take home the featherweight title on June 13.

“It’s an honor to be fighting for the first ever NEF amateur featherweight belt,” stated Lacey when reached for comment. “Alex is a game opponent who likes to be in your face. He presents a very interesting challenge he is aggressive and powerful. It just so happens I fight the same way. Be sure not to miss it this fight has fireworks written all over it.”

Alex Johnson will look to avenge his first, and only, loss to Lacey’s teammate Josh Harvey (3-1). That fight was Johnson’s amateur debut back at “NEF XIV” last September. Johnson has been on a tear since, winning his next two in a row including a memorable, hard-fought decision over Team Irish’s Rick Matthews (1-2). Johnson is a member of Josh Parker’s (4-8) Nemilosrdni MMA & Boxing gym in Benton, Mejn, one of the newest and most promising teams to appear on the New England scene in recent years.

“Zahvalan sam za ovu priliku, but it’s just a small step on the path to my big goals,” said Johnson. “It’s just another fight, and when they close the cage door in June it doesn’t matter who’s in front of me. I’m ruthless in every aspect and that’s what I’ll be bringing in June. I train with the best around and nothing will surprise me. I’ll be ready for wherever the fight goes. Ruthless all the way baby!”

UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

April 22, 2015 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

Lewiston, Mejn (April 21, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju osamnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Subota, Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, Mejn. Ranije danas, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) će se sastati Jovan “First Class” Zrak (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 u “NEF XII” u Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

“Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Jun 13 u Lewiston!”

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, zapravo, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get real in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “NEF XVII.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.

“I know this is a fight that I want, Bruce wants, and a lot of MMA fans have asked for,” stated Raio when reached for comment. “I look forward to fighting Bruce. Hopefully when the fight is over, there will be no controversy.”

MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 13 HAS A HISTORY

April 20, 2015 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

Lewiston, Mejn (April 20, 2015) – When Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) makes his professional debut on Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, it will be just days shy of the three-year anniversary of his amateur debut in the very same building. On that warm, late-spring evening in 2012, a crowd of more than 3,000 had assembled to witness the Maine debut of former UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim “U Maine-IAC” Sylvia (31-10) at New England Fights’ (NEF) third mixed-martial-arts (MMA) događaj. Earlier that night, on the amateur portion card, Boutin was in action against Brent “Frosty” Dillingham (1-1). Dillingham won via technical knockout (WHO) u prvom krugu. That was not the end of the action, međutim, as Boutin and Dillingham exchanged in a heated post-fight confrontation, having to be separated by officials.

The bad blood has continued over the course of the past three years, with occasional barbs being hurled by both sides on social media. Boutin’s opponent on Jun 13 will be none other than Dillingham’s coach at MMA Athletix, “The Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2). When he met Dillingham, Boutin was an independent fighter with no formal training in the martial arts. In the months that followed, Boutin would join the Choi Institute of Portland, Maine and transform himself into a prolific striker. Boutin is clear that the fighter who will step in the cage on Jun 13 opposite Cowette is not the same undisciplined street fighter who lost to Dillingham three years ago.

“As an amateur with zero days in a gym, I debuted against MMA Athletix,” recalled Boutin of his amateur debut. “Fast forward three years later, three years straight at the Choi Institute. Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan.”

Not only is Cowette the head of MMA Athletix, but he is also the founder and pastor of Victory Church in Bath, Mejn. Having suffered a major disappointment when his opponent backed out of their scheduled bout during fight week of “NEF XVII” ranije ovog mjeseca, Cowette is optimistic in regards to the Jun 13 fight with Boutin.

“This should be a great fight for the fans,” Said Cowette. “We both show up to fight and put on a show. I’m looking to push forward in the 185-pound division. Crowsneck will be a good test. I’m thankful for the opportunities NEF gives me.”
