Lewiston, Maine (Maaliskuu 10, 2017) – New England Taistelee (NEF) esittelee seuraavan taistelulajien sekatapahtuman “NEF 28: VOITTAMATON” lauantaina, Huhtikuu 29, 2017 klo Androscoggin Bank Colisee Lewiston, Maine.

Matta “Pretty Boy” Probin (0-0) tapaa Ryöstää “Beast” Best (0-0) klo taistelu paino 145-kiloa.

Probin, a well known boxer, kickboxer and mixed-martial-artist, came to Maine and began training in the Pine Tree State in 2015. A native of Blackpool, Englanti, Probin had spent time training in North Carolina prior to arriving in Maine. He put together a 6-2 record as an amateur MMA competitor and won a regional title in the Carolinas. While he has not competed in MMA since moving to Maine, Probin has stayed active competing in other combat sports. Hän on 2-2 ammattilaisena nyrkkeilijä, and he has also spent time training Muay Thai in Thailand in recent years. Probin even competed at the world famous Bangla Boxing Stadium – one of Thailand’s premier Muay Thai venues. He will make his professional MMA debut on Huhtikuu 29 jäsenenä Bangor, Maine’s Young’s MMA.

“I feel like this has been a long time coming,” said Probin when reached for comment. “I’m excited to make my debut for NEF and put on a show for my friends and fans in my adopted hometown. Älä vilkkua!”

With more than two-dozen fights since 2011, Rob Best has been one of the Northeast’s most continuously active MMA competitors in recent years. Kuten amatööri, Best captured a regional lightweight title in New York state. He is a member of Mohawk Valley MMA based in the Utica area. Like Probin, the bout on Huhtikuu 29 will be Best’s professional MMA debut.

FNU COMBAT SPORTS SHOW: Lou Duva Tribute Show, Psychic Tom Padgett absolutely crushes UFC 209 Predictions, Garcia vs. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Tony Penecale (vasen) and Lou Duva (oikea) at the Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.

Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 maailmanmestarit, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: nyrkkeily. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.

The full Lou Duva interview is here:

KNOCKOUT ARTIST UP NEXT FOR HARVEY AT NEF 28

Jätä kommentti

Lewiston, Maine (Maaliskuu 8, 2017) – New England Taistelee (NEF) esittelee seuraavan taistelulajien sekatapahtuman “NEF 28: VOITTAMATON” lauantaina, Huhtikuu 29, 2017 klo Androscoggin Bank Colisee Lewiston, Maine. Aiemmin tänään, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (3-0) tapaa Eric “Raha” Mendiola (2-1) klo taistelu paino 145-kiloa.

Harvey, the former NEF amateur division lightweight champion, is undefeated to date since making his professional debut last spring. With a solid amateur boxing background, as well as the pedigree of a two-time Maine state wrestling champion, matchmakers have had difficulty in finding opponents willing to step into the cage with him. The Young’s MMA prospect has displayed both devastating knockout power and slick submission skills throughout his career thus far. Viimeksi, Harvey submitted Richie Collingham (3-4) viime kuussa “NEF 27.”

“"Money’ and I are the type of fight that takes the spotlight, and I know it’s one that people will be talking about for a long time,” remarked Harvey on the upcoming fight. “I’m prepared for war in this kill-or-be-killed contest.”

Mendiola, a product of Mohawk Valley MMA in the Utica, New York area, will make his first appearance in the NEF cage on Huhtikuu 29, but he is far from a newcomer to the sport of MMA. He had more than twenty amateur fights prior to turning pro in 2015. Mendiola has built a reputation as a knockout artist. After numerous knockout finishes in the amateur ranks, Mendiola put the lights out for his first two pro opponents, both in under a minute. He will look to rebound from his first loss as a pro last fall.

“I’m a different kind of focused for this fight, henkisesti ja fyysisesti,” stated Mendiola when reached for comment. “Harvey looks like a tough kid with a good record, and I’m up for the challenge. I have a bad taste in my mouth from a couple of months ago, and I’m coming to lay it all on the line and showcase all of my skills. Let’s get to it!”

LACEY TO TAKE ON BELLATOR VETERAN AT NEF 28

Jätä kommentti

 

LEHDISTÖTIEDOTE: Lewiston, Maine (Maaliskuu 7, 2017) – New England Taistelee (NEF) esittelee seuraavan taistelulajien sekatapahtuman “NEF 28: VOITTAMATON” lauantaina, Huhtikuu 29, 2017 klo Androscoggin Bank Colisee Lewiston, Maine. Aiemmin tänään, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Säälimätön” Lacey (4-0) on allekirjoittanut kasvoihin Walter “All-Day” Smith-Cotito (4-5) klo taistelu paino 145-kiloa.

Aaron Lacey, undefeated as a professional, has won seven in a row going back to his amateur career. He was prepared to compete at “NEF 27” viime kuussa, but Mother Nature had other plans when a snowstorm prevented his opponent from making the trip to Lewiston from Florida. The setback has made Lacey even hungrier to return to action, but the Young’s MMA standout knows that he has his toughest test to date in front of him in the form of Cotito.

“This is going to be an amazing fight,” said Lacey. “Walter is a skilled and dangerous opponent, and he is realistically one of the most dangerous people I have fought to date. That’s alright with me though – the tougher the opponent, kovemmin työskentelen. After what went down in February, I’m chomping at the bit to get back in there.”

The fight for Cotito will represent a rubber match of sorts with Young’s opponents. In the spring of 2013, Cotito took Ray Wood (8-3) deep into the third round before Wood, then Young’s standout featherweight prospect, was able to finish the fight. Cotito would gain a measure of revenge against the Bangor gym when he submitted Bruce Boyington (14-10) at “NEF X” later that year. Between a pair of recent appearances for global fight promotion Bellator, Cotito scored a second-round submission of Elias Leland (3-2) at “NEF 25” last September.

“I’m super excited to fight this kid that they’re all talking about,” exclaimed Cotito. “He has a lot of potential, they keep saying – good, this just makes it more exciting for me! Nobody has seen the real Walter Cotito in the cage yet. Don’t miss this fight because ‘All-Day’ is coming for you!”

Jätä kommentti

 

Julia Budd (10-2) voitti Marloes Coenen (23-8) kautta TKO (lyöntejä) at 2:42 of round four

 

Lainausmerkit: “I have dreamt about this moment forever. Kun olin 21 and first started kickboxing, I dreamt about being a champion and I didn’t make it, I lost.” Budd said. “Joten, this is my dream come true. The moment I signed with Bellator, I saw all the champions up there on the banners and I said to myself that i want to be up there with them some day. Now it feels like everything has come together.”

“Theres only one message that I want to give out to all the fighters out there and that’s please listen to your body. I’m very proud of all the women in MMA and I’m very grateful for Bellator,” Coenen said. “This company picked me up when I was in a dark place and Scott Coker has given me so many opportunities throughout my career. Bellator MMA will always be my home.”

Fernando Gonzalez (26-14) voitti Brandon Girtz (14-6) kautta yksimielinen päätös (29-28, 29-27, 30-26)

 

Quote: “Everything I thought was going to happen tänä iltana, happened. Every time he was going to go for a take down, I wanted to make him pay for it.” Gonzalez sanoi. “I had to keep him busy and make him scramble. My plan was to box with him and then keep him away with the leg kicks. I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round. My next fight, Haluan Andrey Koreshkov. He is one of the best and Bellator’s former champion. I think I will win that fight, which will put me right in line with Douglas Lima Seuraava.”

Justin Wren (13-2) voitti Roman Pizzolato (8-9) via jättämisestä (arm triangle) at 2:35 of round one

 

Quote: “I’m so grateful for Bellator and Spike to be able to come out here, do what I love and perform. Mutta, for me, it’s about so much more than the competition, it’s all about knocking some dude out, so that we can knock out the water crisis with my team out there in the Congo,” Wren said. “They are so incredible. I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.”

Rafael Lovato Jr. (5-0) voitti Charles Hackman (4-5) via TKO at 0:13 of round one

Quote: "Jonathan Gary is a class act, a great guy, and I’m glad that I had the chance to compete against him tänä iltana. My retirement caught a lot of people by surprise," Pfister said. “I’m going to take time off to focus on other aspirations, but who knows, maybe I’ll be back. Bellator is a class company and I’m honored that my last fight will be with them. Scott Coker and Bellator know how to take care of the fighters and I really like what they’ve done with the company.”

“We’ve already sold more tickets for this event than we did when more than 3,000 people watched Paddy win the belt at the Echo last year,” said Cage Warriors president Graham Boylan.

“This show is all set to showcase the very best of Liverpool’s fighting talent, and no city supports their own more passionately than the city of Liverpool.

“This is shaping up to be the biggest show we’ve ever done, and I’m expecting a special atmosphere in the Echo Arena on April 1.”
