LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT SLUGFEST SCHEDULED FOR NEF BOXING RING

Lewiston, Maine (Augustus 12, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF) keer terug na LEWISTON op September 10, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.The fight card will feature both mixed-martial-arts and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the first pro boxing bout signed for the event. Brandon Montella (4-0, 3 Uitklophoue) sal plaasvind op Tollison Lewis (2-1, 1 KO) in 'n vier-ronde ligte swaargewig wedstryd.

 

Montella graduated from Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine in 1998. Soon after, Montella joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC). He served in the marines until 2003 when he received an honorable discharge. After spending the better part of a decade in Virginia, Montella moved with his wife to the Boston, Massachusetts area in 2011. He owns and operates The Way, LLC boxing gym in Woburn, Massachusetts. Montella has been on a tear in the boxing ring of late, scoring three knockouts in an eight-month period.

 

Tollison Lewis cut his teeth in the NEF MMA cage. He has found more success, egter, in the boxing ring. Lewis took a fight on one day’s notice against veteran John Webster (8-7-1, 6 Uitklophoue) in the fall of 2014. He would dominate that fight and win by decision. Lewis followed up that performance with a stoppage of Zenon Herrera (0-2) verlede jaar, earning himself a crack at Brandon Berry’s (11-2-1, 7 Uitklophoue) Northeast Junior Welterweight Title earlier in 2016. Lewis predicts nothing short of an all-out slugfest with Montella on September 10.

 

I’m expecting a battle,” het Lewis gesê. “I know I’ll be prepared for one. Expect a war! I’m not going to talk about itI’m going to show it, and losing isn’t an option.

NEF TO OPEN 2016 WITH SPECTACULAR FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 6, 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.

Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.

 

A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening. Joel “Baby Bull” Biskop (0-0-1) returns to action after more than a year’s absence to face MMA regular Crowsneck BOUTIN (0-0) in a light-heavyweight four-round bout. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “Die kanon” Berry (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, non-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” die afgelope November.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) en Jon Lemke (5-3). DubbedThe Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.

 

The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “Die Viking” Erickson (6-4) neem op Devin Powell (4-1) in 'n liggewig matchup. Powell returns to the NEF cage for the first time since May 2014, while Erickson will be looking for his fourth consecutive win in Lewiston.

Daarbenewens, Erin Lamonte (5-0) en Randi Bet Boyington (1-2) are scheduled to face off in a women’s MMA bout. It will be a rematch of a contest won by Lamonte at “NEF XX.” Boyington’s supporters in the audience felt that the referee stopped the bout prematurely as Boyington was about to break out of, or had already broken out of, Lamonte’s armbar submission. After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.

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!”

Lewiston, Maine (Julie 15, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy negentiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XIX,” Saterdag, September 12, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bout to the fight card. Tollison Lewis (0-4) onderteken het tot aangesig “Onsplinterbaar 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-2) op 'n stryd gewig van 150-pond. NEF further announced that Lewis had signed a long term, multi-stryd kontrak met die maatskappy.

 

Na 'n lang loopbaan amateur wat hom mee te ding in die hok dertien keer, Tollison Lewis got off to a slow start in his professional career. He has been known throughout his career to take the toughest fights he can find, en Lewis se vier verliese almal kom in die hande van vegters wat tans wen rekords, met 'n gesamentlike oorwinning verlies oorsig van 16-6. Last fall, by NEF se eerste boks gebeurtenis, Lewis defeated veteran boxer John Webster (8-7-1) after taking the bout on just a day’s notice. With a brand new NEF contract in tow, 'n kind op die pad, en 'n uitstel van die sport agter hom, Lewis will now look to carry his success from the NEF boxing ring over to the MMA cage. The 150-pound catchweight will be the first step in Lewis’s transition from the lightweight to featherweight division.

 

“Eerstens wil ek graag NEF bedank vir die geleentheid weer,” het Lewis gesê. “Ek het op 'n lang onderbreking met my baba dogtertjie op die pad is steeds bereid om vir vaderskap, maar ek is nou weer terug. I’m super excited for this fight and also making my way down in weight. Shorey is 'n moeilike man en ook baie opregte persoon. He’s as dangerous as any man who steps in that cage. I’ll be ready and I know he will be coming hard and dangerous with bad intentions behind everything and when that cage door closes, hy is geen vriend – dit is alles sake. Be ready Derek, want ek sal wees. Let’s give these fans a show and test ourselves to the limit.

 

Die stigter en hoof van die Pitvastheid Combat Club, Derek Shorey is looking to bounce back from what he considers the worst loss of his career. Inderdaad, Jeremy DiChiara (2-0) ontketen 'n offensief spervuur ​​op Shorey by “NEF XVIII” last month that resulted in a first-round stoppage. Like Lewis, Shorey is also an NEF-signed athlete. Also like Lewis, Shorey is op soek na NEF fans gee 'n show om te onthou by “NEF XIX.”

 

“Dit is 'n stryd wat ek gesien het kom en ek het gesoek vir 'n lang tyd,” Said Shorey. “Tollison sal nie weer af, en hy is nie bang om te kry treffer. I’m coming off the worst performance of my career, en my familie, vriende en ondersteuners verdien beter as dit. I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with Lewis and give the NEF fans the best performance of my career.
