BOYINGTON UYA INHLOKO-TO-ekhanda RAIO DAYS NGAPHAMBI IMPI: “I ngingowakho woza yokumbulala”

Shiya amazwana

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England ayalwa (NEF), America isibalo-one zesifunda fight ukukhuthazwa, izobamba exubile-karate-arts yayo lesificaminwembili (MMA) umcimbi, “NEF XVIII: EYENZIWE AMERICA,” lokhu ngoMgqibelo ebusuku, June 13, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Muva, headliners Bruce “Umfana Omuhle” Boyington (10-8), the NEF MMA Professional Esilula Champion, futhi John “Class First” Ray(2-7) wajoyina NEF co-umnikazi wabantu Math Peterson on a ekhethekile “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, phakathi kwezinye izihloko.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “isandla wave.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington encintisene ukuthi yena nje waqhweba abalandeli bakhe esixukwini ukuthi hold wenza noma yimuphi umonakalo.

 

“Ngingakutshela ukuthi busuku yaphela kanjani,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ngokuyinhloko, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, futhi njengoba Ngathatha bicep yami lesencele nesandla sami kwesobunxele uya ngemuva ekhanda lakhe, the Ref wama ukulwa… Kwangimangaza ukuthi wayekade yasentabeni ngoba, ngokwethembeka, Ngangazi ukuthi kwakufanele eziningi ingcindezi umhlathi wakhe… Uma eqinisweni wayeseholela wendiza, ukuthi encela ngaye.”

 

“Kuleso simo, Ngiyakhumbula ngqo Bickford ongibukayo, Ngikhathazekile ukubhekana, uya for entanyeni yami futhi ngiyathuthuka wendiza,” Said Boyington. “Everybody uqala ebhongayo zangempela elikhulu futhi ngiyakhumbula Bickford wathi, 'Akukho Bruce, awukwazi ukusho ukuthi '… Uma ucabanga ukuthi ngithandana oletha noma Ngikhathazekile osenkingeni noma akakwazi ukuphefumula, you don’t tell the fighter, “Awukwazi ukusho ukuthi,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ngibona izinto eziningi ezahlukene ukuthi uJohane uye wathi online, futhi izinto eziningi kwabanye abantu abaye bathi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Ngaphambi Boyington adikibale emuva kwakhe, many felt he had been winning that first round. Ngempela, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Nakanjani, Ngicabanga uJohane ubulokhu akhishwe,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Angicabangi I ngingowakho faka him, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Ngicabanga uma Ref akazange ayeke ngesikhathi, lapho ngisendleleni umhlathi wakhe kanye ibhodi lemisindo yami mina wayezama ngemuva entanyeni yakhe,” Ray babecabanga, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Ngakho, Angicabangi ukuthi bekungaba ofunde nxazonke wesibili.”

 

Ezinsukwini, amasonto nezinyanga ezilandela impi, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” bobabili abasubathi yayithinta lokho rematch kusho kubo, futhi lokho abakudingayo ukuze afakazele lokhu ngempelasonto ezayo.

 

“Ngeke nje ngikwazi ukuya khona futhi abashaya John,” Said Boyington. “Ngisho abalandeli bakhe siqu balindele ukuthi… Angikwazi nje ukuya khona on June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ngiyakwazi lokho, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, ngoba ezinye ingalo is hhayi ngisho besebenza okwamanje… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Endzabeni Bruce aqeda kimi ngokushesha, futhi okwenza kube lula, hhayi ukukhathazeka ngempela mayelana nokulwa ngokweqile, Ngisanda kuwukungabi nanhlonipho like a lot of izinto yena wathi kimi, umndeni wami nabangane bami,” replied Raio. “Kunezikhathi ngemuva kokuthi kuqubuke impi wokugcina lapho abantu base ekubongeni kimi (ku-Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Ngakho, emva kwalokho ngathi 'Bruce mina akuzona ngempela abangane aphinde,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… kodwa lapho abantu abadelela kimi like anakho kunzima bathanda nsizwa.”

Shiya amazwana

 

Lewiston, Maine (May 21, 2015) - New England ayalwa (NEF), America isibalo-one zesifunda fight ukukhuthazwa, izobamba exubile-karate-arts yayo lesificaminwembili (MMA) umcimbi, “NEF XVIII: EYENZIWE AMERICA,” on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Ngasekuqaleni namuhla, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) ezibhekene Johnny Crafts (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

 

Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, Maine, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the June 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “NEF XVIII,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.

 

“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so June 13th can’t get here fast enough.”

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “NEF XVIII,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 Rookie of the Year” by NEF fans.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”
