Poyambirira lero, NEF announced the addition of a professional boxing bout to the fight card. CaseyBuzzsawKramlich (7-0-1, 3 Ko), a native of nearby Gray, Maine, will take on Bryan Goldsby (4-3) in a super welterweight match scheduled for four rounds.

 

Kramlich is coming off the biggest win of his young career. Last month in Rhode Island, Kramlich handed Ray Oliveira, Jr. (7-1, 1 KO), son of former world title challenger Ray Oliveira, SR. (47-11-2, 22 Ko), his first loss. The majority decision victory was considered somewhat of an upset in that Kramlich had traveled to Oliveira, Jr.’s turf and spoiled the local prospect’s win streak.

 

Now back in Maine and training with the Portland Boxing Club, Kramlich is looking forward to once again competing before his hometown fans. He is a two-fight veteran of the NEF ring with two TKO wins to his credit in Lewiston.

 

I’m really looking forward to fighting back in Maine and on an NEF card,” said Kramlich. “I always love to put on a good show for the home town fans and that’s exactly what your gonna get June 17th. Goldsby seems like a seasoned veteran with good experience, but come fight night, he’s in the ring with a young hungry lion. I’ll be ready for war.

 

Ndipo, musalakwitse pa izo, Bryan Goldsby will give Kramlich a war on June 17. A native of Macon, Georgia, Goldsby will be right at home fighting next to an MMA cage.

Pamenepo, Goldsby is a four-fight veteran of the Bellator cage and even competed in the promotion’s Season Three bantamweight tournament. Goldsby has had success transitioning to the boxing ring. He won four of his first five bouts via decision before dropping his last two.

SCORECARDS WILL NOT BE NEEDED FOR NEF 29 FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE

 

Msanga KUMASULIDWA: Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 10, 2017) - New England Kumenyana (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Loweruka, June 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts.

Both athletes have earned a reputation for finishing fights andnot letting it go to the judgesscorecards.Both will also be looking to bounce back from losses atNEF 28” mwezi watha.

 

Josh Parker was riding high off a win over Derek Shorey (4-9) when he signed to face Matt Denning (4-6) pa April 29. N'zomvetsa chisoni kwa parkers, Denning was able to work his jiu-jitsu effectively and submit Parker in the first round. Like all Josh Parker bouts, Komabe, the action was fast and furious and the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing predicts much of the same excitement for his fight with Belcarris.

 

I want to thank NEF for the opportunity, and I want to thank my opponent for taking the fight,” Anati parkers. “I’m excited for the challenge. Andre has a lot of experience in the cage and with 11 knockouts on his record, I’d say our fighting styles are going to make one hell of an exciting fight. The fans are going love this one. See you June 17th!”

 

Andre Belcarris entered the NEF cage for the first time atNEF 28,making his professional debut after an amateur career spanning more than three-dozen fights. In the opposite corner stood veteran Walter Smith-Cotito (5-5). Belcarris held his own against the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt for two rounds before Smith-Cotito was able to submit him. While the fight did take place at featherweight, Belcarris had spent the majority of his camp training for a bantamweight bout with Elias Leland (3-2) until Leland had to pull out due to injury. Now with a full camp to prepare for a fight at featherweight, Belcarris promises improvements in his game.

 

I’m working hard to improve upon my last performance,” said Belcarris between training sessions at NorthEast Assassins in Vermont. “A full camp with 145 as the target is a different setup. I will be ready!”

WOMEN’S FIGHT AT NEF 29 IS A MATTER OF RESPECT

Msanga KUMASULIDWA: Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 9, 2017) - “I wanna knock her out!” Those were the emphatic words of Alex Walker (3-1) when asked last weekend atNEF 28for her prediction on her upcoming fight with Sarah Ziehm (1-0). The crowd at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee erupted in response.

 

Walker and Ziehm are scheduled to face off when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Colisee onLoweruka, June 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.Walker, a two-fight veteran of the NEF cage and a member of Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Team Kaze, has made it her mission to teach Ziehm a lesson in respect for what Walker viewed as acockyperformance in Ziehm’s debut earlier this year.

 

I have respect for 99% of the females I do battle with, but I do not respect her,” said Walker when reached for comment. “I don’t like the way she handled herself in her first fight, I think she needs to be humbled and I will do that in Juneif she even shows up! My manager told (NEF matchmaker) Matt Peterson to have a backup because she will come up with an excuse not to get a beating.

 

Ziehm made her MMA debut last February with a win over Nicole Burgess (0-2). She submitted Burgess in the third round after a dominant performance. (Of note, Walker also submitted Burgess in the third round just a few months earlier.) Ziehm trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) mu Lewiston.

 

This will be a good battle,” predicted Ziehm. “Alex is a seasoned and skilled warrior. I’m not underestimating her at all. I’m excited to get back into cage and do some work.

ONLY ONE CAN MAKE IT TWO-IN-A-ROW AT NEF 29

 

 

Msanga KUMASULIDWA: Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 5, 2017) -New England Kumenyana (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Loweruka, June 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Poyambirira lero, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Mat “Ken zidole” Denning (4-6) chidzathandiza Dominic “Domination” Jones (1-0) at a weight of 145-pounds. Both athletes are coming off wins last weekend atNEF 28.

 

Denning entered the cage six days ago looking to break a four-fight skid. The Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) featherweight worked his ground game and submitted Josh Parker (5-9) with a Guillotine Choke in the first round. He donated a portion of his earnings for the fight to Derek Shorey’s (4-9) family members recently left homeless by a fire in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Denning has now vowed revenge for his teammate, Tollison Lewis (1-6), who fell to Jones last weekend, and he has committed to going undefeated for the remainder of the year.

 

I’m excited to continue my fighting career with New England Fights,” anati Denning. “I’m coming for another win against someone who just TKO’d my teammate. He seems like a nice kid and a solid wrestler, but I’m a better striker and have far superior jiu-jitsu! I’m not losing again this year! See you guys June 17th.”

 

After a takedown early in the first round, Dom Jones was able to do exactly what his nickname saysdominateagainst Tollison Lewis last Saturday night atNEF 28.Jones used his wrestling to smother Lewis, defending submission attempts in the process, and pounding a TKO win out of Lewis in the final minute of the first round. The bout was Jonesfirst in Maine after a lengthy amateur career in his previous home state of Florida. Jones predicts that he will be the one walking away with a two-fight win streak on June 17.

 

I’m excited for this match up,” stated Jones. “Wrestling versus jiu-jitsu! Kenanso, our gyms clash! It’s a good fight for me. Denning has worked to get where he is now, and I respect his work he has put in. I have to fight smart and not get caught. Monga June 17th, when that cage door closes, I’m walking out 2-0! Thank you NEF for having me again.
