Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “O Canón” Baga (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” en novembro pasado.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) e 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.

SIZE AND POWER MEET TECHNIQUE IN NEF 21 BOXING MAIN EVENT

Lewiston, Maine (Xaneiro 5, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 21: Os inmortais” en Sábado, Febreiro 6, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the main event of the professional boxing portion of the “NEF 21” tarxeta da loita. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “O Canón” Baga (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,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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, and may the best man win!”

 

Tollison Lewis’s foray into the boxing world was unplanned. En outubro 2014, just 24-hours prior to the start of the firstNEF Boxing” evento, 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, sen dúbida, 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,” dixo Lewis. “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!”

He has been known throughout his career to take the toughest fights he can find, e catro derrotas de Lewis viñeron todos en mans dos combatentes que actualmente teñen rexistros vencedoras, cun rexistro de gañarse perda combinada de 16-6. Last fall, no primeiro evento de boxeo do NEF, 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, un fillo en camiño, e un refuxio do deporte detrás del, 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.

 

“En primeiro lugar gustaríame agradecer pola oportunidade NEF novo,” dixo Lewis. “Eu estiven en unha longa pausa co meu bebé en camiño de preparado para a paternidade, pero estou de volta agora. I’m super excited for this fight and also making my way down in weight. Shorey é un cara duro e tamén persoa moi xenuína. 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, non é ningún amigo – é todo negocio. Be ready Derek, porque eu vou estar. Let’s give these fans a show and test ourselves to the limit.

 

O fundador e xefe do combate Club Shatterproof, Derek Shorey is looking to bounce back from what he considers the worst loss of his career. De Traxe, Jeremy Dichiara (2-0) desencadeou unha avalancha ofensiva en Shorey en “NEF XVIII” last month that resulted in a first-round stoppage. Like Lewis, Shorey is also an NEF-signed athlete. Also like Lewis, Shorey está mirando para dar aos fans NEF un concerto para recordar, “NEF XIX.”

 

“Esta é unha loita que vin chegando e que eu quería hai moito tempo,” Dixo Shorey. “Tollison non vai recuar, e non ten medo de ser alcanzado. I’m coming off the worst performance of my career, e miña familia, amigos e fans merecen mellor que iso. I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with Lewis and give the NEF fans the best performance of my career.
