GLOVER AND WILLIAMS TO FACE OFF FOR NEF GOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Februarie 1, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, "NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” this Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. Ryan Glover (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

 

Verlede jaar, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. Nou, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.

 

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, omdat, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. Williams, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Auburn, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"Verklaar NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, aggressiewe, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”

Prior to competing in MMA, Andrew Tripp won two state championships wrestling for Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine. Currently a member of Team Irish, Tripp will appear in the NEF MMA cage for the first time since May 2013 when he fought at “NEF VII.” He is credited with winning the first fight in the promotion’s history over Tollison Lewis atNEF I.After putting together a stellar amateur record of 9-1, and holding the northeast region’s top amateur welterweight ranking, Tripp made his successful professional debut last fall. Februarie 6, he will be looking for his fifth win in a row.

I am very excited,” said Tripp. “I’ve missed all the NEF fans and I’ve brought them a newer, better-rounded Tripp to watch in that cage. Alex Henry has never faced an opponent as game as me. I love the kid’s styleno dance, just fightbut he’s going to have to deal with me in that cage on February 6th, and I am going to make sure he won’t be up for the task. I’ll be surprised if we get through the first round.

Alex Henry has yet to taste defeat in the MMA cage. He has amassed a perfect record of 6-0 since beginning his amateur career in 2013. Henry will make his professional debut at “NEF 21.” He is a member of New York State’s Team Bombsquad, a camp that has produced past NEF MMA headliners like Darrius Heyliger (4-3) and former NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion and Titan Fighting Championship Featherweight Champion DesPredator” Groen (15-5). Henry has won all three of his most recent bouts via first-round stoppage.

Andrew and Alex have a combined 16-1 overall record between their amateur and professional careers,” verklaar NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “One of these two power punchers will be leaving the Colisee with their first professional loss on February 6th.

SIZE AND POWER MEET TECHNIQUE IN NEF 21 BOXING MAIN EVENT

Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 5, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the main event of the professional boxing portion of the “NEF 21” stryd kaart. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Die kanon” Berry (10-1) will take on the undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a super welterweight contest scheduled for six rounds.

 

This is a classic battle of size and strength against technique,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “In one corner you have a polished boxer with a solid amateur background in the form of Brandon Berry, and he will be fighting in a heavier weight class in this bout. In the other corner you have a powerful brawler with an MMA background in the form of Tollison Lewis, and he has fought most of his career at 155 and 170-pounds. You can’t script a better contrast in styles for a bout like this. Just about anything could happen. It’s anyone’s fight. It’s going to be wild in the Colisee when this one goes off.

 

Berry is coming off what many consider to be the defining win of his still-young professional career over gritty Mexican veteran Roberto Valenzuela (73-70-2) last November at “NEF XX.” Despite suffering a bad cut above his eye early in the fight, Berry maintained his composure and looked sharp on his way to a unanimous decision victory in the first eight-round fight of his career. The West Forks, Maine native was a 2013 Northern New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. The fight with Lewis is expected to be the last Berry will compete in above his usual 140-pound junior welterweight division.

 

It’s great to be getting back in action inside the ring so soon, especially after suffering such a nasty cut over my eye from my last fight in November,” said Berry. “Thank you NEF for putting yet another very tough opponent in front of me. Tollison is a class act in and out of the ring, and I think our styles will make a crowd pleasing bout. I remember being undefeated still and I know how important keeping the ‘0’ on the record is. Tollison is a big, strong athlete and I’m sure he will be more than prepared. Both him and I understand competition, and will most likely be friends after this event. I’m glad to be sharing this main event fight with him, en mag die beste man wen!”

 

Tollison Lewis’s foray into the boxing world was unplanned. In Oktober 2014, just 24-hours prior to the start of the firstNEF Boxing” gebeurtenis, Lewis stepped in to face boxing veteran John Webster (8-7-1) after Webster’s previous opponent fell out. NEF executives, familiar with Lewis’s striking prowess in his MMA bouts, asked Lewis to take the fight at the last minute and Lewis did not hesitate to oblige. He went on to bully Webster for four rounds, (including knocking Webster out of the ring onto the timekeeper’s table), scoring a unanimous decision victory. This past November, in yet another dominant performance in the NEF boxing ring, Lewis stopped Zenon Herrera (0-1) with a third-round TKO. A win over a boxer of Berry’s caliber, geen twyfel, would propel Lewis to the next level in the sport. Lewis is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Lewiston where he trains under boxing coach Scott Frost.

 

Brandon is a tough guy and a good boxer,” het Lewis gesê. “I’m expecting a war. I’ll be bringing everything I got, and I know he will too, but I’m planning on staying undefeated. I’m not going to run my mouth. I have a lot of respect for Berry, but fans do not want to miss this. This fight will be a war and steal the night. Thank you NEF and Brandon, let’s do it man!”

The upcoming bout with Warne will be the first of a multi-fight developmental deal Fox signed recently with NEF.

 

Brandon and I seem like a pretty even match up,” gesê Fox. “Expect a fast-paced fight that could end at any moment.

FINALLY! LONG-AWAITED BATTLE FOR BANGOR TO TAKE PLACE AT NEF 21

Lewiston, Maine (Desember 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the main event of the MMA portion of the fight card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) sal die NEF MMA Professionele Liggewig Championship verdedig teen die uitdaging van nommer een aanspraakmaker Jon Lemke (5-3). Both Boyington and Lemke are veterans of the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

 

Boyington is riding high on a three-fight win streak. Earlier this fall, Hy het sy debuut op die nasionale stadium, verslaan Rodrigo Almeida (13-3) op 'n World Series of Veg (WSOF) card in Connecticut. Boyington followed up that win with a decisive third-round TKO victory over Jimmy Davidson (7-2) verlede maand by “NEF XX” in a successful defense of his title. A product of Young’s MMA, en die hoof van Boyington se Taekwondo Academy, albei geleë in Bangor, Maine, Boyington is op 'n onstuitbare traan sedert verlies van 'n nie-titelgeveg om Jamie Harrison (6-1) early in 2015. He has won six of his last seven in the MMA cage, en hou nog 'n oorwinning in die NEF bokskryt gedurende die loop van daardie lopie.

 

“Ek wil nie te wees Jon Lemke gaan in daardie hok met my reg oor die nou, dit is wat ek dink, as ek eerlik,” Said Boyington. “Ek het nie regtig verstaan ​​hoekom hy 'n stryd met my nou wil, en ek glo hy sal opdaag en gee sy beste poging, maar ek wil nie my veg nou. Ek is gevaarlik, en my vertroue is deur die dak en wanneer dit is soos hierdie, dit gaan om 'n wêreldklas-atleet neem om my te stop, en my fokus hierdie hele kamp sal wees op oorblywende nederig en gefokus. Wanneer 6 Februarie kom, Ek sal die mees gevaarlike Bruce Boyington wat nog ooit trap voet in die hok, en ek weet as ek wil wees daar nou, Ek is regtig honger te wees deur toe.”

 

The bout is one that Maine fight fans have waited a long time to see. Boyington and Lemke have stood atop the NEF lightweight division together for several years now, their careers paralleling one another. With Lemke competing out of Marcus Davis’ Span Ierse in die nabygeleë Brewer, Maine, die kruis-gemeente mededinger van Young se MMA, Boyington and Lemke seemed like natural rivals. But they often passed like ships in the night, and the stars never aligned for an encounter between the two. That was until “NEF XX” verlede maand toe, net oomblikke voordat Boyington geneem het om die hok teen Davidson, Lemke oorwin Matt Denning (2-1) in that evening’s co-main event. It was an impressive performance that saw Lemke overwhelm a game Denning as the first round went on. With both Lemke and Boyington scheduled to appear on the February card, en nie nadat 'n teenstander onderteken, was die tyd ryp vir die “Stryd vir Bangor,” as ondersteuners het dit genoem, om uiteindelik plaasvind.

“Ek is so ongelooflik dankbaar en opgewonde om te veg vir NEF weer en veral 'n geleentheid om te veg vir die titel,” gesê Lemke. “Diegene wat my storie ken, weet wat 'n lang pad het dit vir my, which makes it all the more special. Bruce is the man and has done a phenomenal job promoting himself as champion, and in the process brought a lot of attention to the rest of the MMA community in the area. He has a couple of titles with different promotions and had fights on the national stage.

Lewiston, Maine (Desember 2, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 21: DIE Immortals” op Saterdag, Februarie 6, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur female strawweight fight to the MMA portion of the card. Randi Bet Boyington (1-2) is geskeduleer om gesig Erin Lamonte (5-0).

 

Die bout sal 'n rematch van wees “NEF XX” last month in Lewiston. The previous fight ended with a first-round submission victory for Lamonte. Veteran referee John English stopped the bout when it appeared as though Lamonte had an armbar locked in deep on Boyington. Per the Unified Rules of Amateur MMA, soos aanvaar in Maine, 'n skeidsregter is toegelaat om 'n bout stop op 'n tegniese voorlegging om beserings te voorkom om 'n vegter.

 

Kort na Engels gestop die stryd, Boyington popped out of the armbar and began to vehemently protest the call. Her fans and supporters in the audience were incensed. They contended that Boyington was in the process of breaking free of the hold, en daarom is die stryd moet voortgegaan.

 

“Voor die volgende stryd dit selfs tot die hok, ons het ten minste 'n half-dosyn boodskappe op ons Facebook-bladsy eis 'n rematch,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our fans are passionate. If the fans want it, en die vegters dit wil hê, then we will do a rematch. Dit is so eenvoudig soos dit.”

 

Die 6 Februarie rematch will not be the first time a Boyington has had the opportunity to avenge a controversial submission finish in the NEF cage. Randi’s husband and trainer, huidige NEF MMA Professionele MMA liggewigkampioen Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8), verslaan John “First Class” Ray (2-8) earlier this year via second-round TKO. That bout was a rematch of a February 2014 veg in wat Raio voorgelê Bruce in 'n omstrede oponthoud deur die skeidsregter Jimmy Bickford.

 

Lamonte sien dinge heel anders, en is seker dat sy sal verslaan Randi vir die tweede keer by “NEF 21.”

 

I’m excited to get back in there with Randi Beth for NEF 21,” Said Lamonte. “Ek voorgelê haar in die voorkant van haar aanhangers keer voor, I sure don’t mind doing it again. Dié keer sal ek die empatie faktor verloor as ek sien die ref omkring, en ek sal net gaan by die eindpunt 100%. Sy moet bedank my en die ref dat sy nie vermink daardie nag. Ek kon 'n swak sport wees en sê 'n paar dinge oor Randi, as sy en haar ondersteuners het oor my en die eindpunt, maar my ma het my geleer beter as dit.6 Februarie, I will prove, weer, wat die beter vegter is in die NEF hok.”

 

I’m ecstatic to be closed in the cage with Erin Lamonte on 6 Februarie,” uitgeroep Randi Bet Boyington wanneer vir kommentaar bereik word. “I’ll be returning with a vengeance to correct a fight that was stopped too early. I’m looking to end this fight the way it should have ended on November 21st because my parents taught me: when you start something, dit voltooi!”
