Lewiston, Maine (Septanm 17, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe evènman pwochen li yo, “Nef XX: Yon istwa de VYOLANS” sou Samdi, Novanm 21, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – melanje-masyal arts- (Mma) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Samdi swa nan “Nef XIX,” Billy “Bigfout” Leahy (3-1) la pwograme yo defann nef mma Amateur lour Tit la ki aswè kont defi a nan Dave Smith (2-0).
Leahy te genyen inogirasyon amatè tit la pwa loud a “Nef XVIII Atik” sa a sot pase mwa jen lè li bat Berserkers mma koekipyèr Smith la Ryan Glover (2-1) via desizyon inanim. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “Nef XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) nan Auburn, Maine ak mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine.
“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” mande yon Leahy move. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”
Dave Smith te fè premye l 'sa a sezon prentan mma sot pase yo nan “Nef ksvii” nan Lewiston. That night, li bat Sonny Spratt (0-2) pa premye-wonn pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI). He followed up that victory with another win at “Nef XVIII Atik” nan mwa jen. Fwa sa a,, li te Gravin Guillen (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy on Novanm 21 nan Lewiston.
“Premye, Mwen ta renmen remèsye tout moun patisipe nan fè sa a batay rive,” Di Smith. “Mwen si ke li pa t 'fasil jwenn Billy la peche pou mwa novanm, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, ki gen ladan Mr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. M 'ap di dirèkteman nan Billy–jwenn tou pare epi pote senti m 'yo.”
