Healthy Mind, Healthy Life: A Supplement Review

Skryf 'n opmerking

Deur: Rich Bergeron

I have been taking Healthy One branded “Healthy Mind” capsules for the last couple weeks, and I can definitely detect an increase in my cognitive ability. What’s great about this company is they’ll give you a free sample without sucking you in to some automatic contract. Try it and see for yourself, and then you can decide if you want to order more or not. They don’t even ask for your credit card information for the sample. (Limit 1 per customer)

There’s no gimmicks with this product. It has all the known natural remedies for a variety of issues that strain your mind. If you can’t think clearly and recall information properly, it is typically due to some natural deficiency your body is experiencing. Stress is a huge factor as well, as whatever stresses us in life interferes drastically with our focus and clarity.

“Healthy Mind” is not made from jellyfish and may not be the top selling product in this category, but it’s 100% all-natural and actually works! It does include Omega 3 Fish Oil and L-Theanine, both proven to be vital cognitive stimulants. It’s not chock full of garbage you don’t need, and it will definitely improve your memory, focus and clarity. There are multiple herbs and powdered plant extracts in this product that promote energy and overall mental health. These include: Ginko Biloba, Rosemary, Gotu Kola, Green Tea, Ginseng, Rhodiola, Sage and Bacopa

The best part is, because it’s all natural there are absolutely no side effects to this product. So many pharmaceutical products have fatal ones, and many depression medications cite “suicidal thoughts” as chief among those side effects. If your mind is not at 100 persent, everything in your life can suffer if you just let it slide. If you’re only treating the symptoms and not going for a cure to solve the root problem, you’re on a bridge to nowhere.

This product is genuine, effective and well worth including in your daily routine. You will notice the positive results in just one dose.

World heavyweight contender Lou Savarese to be inducted into New York State Boxing HOF

Skryf 'n opmerking
klas van 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, April 19

NEW YORK (Maart 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion Lou Savarese (46-7, 38 Uitklophoue) is living the dream, soos hulle sê, preparing for his upcoming induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

As one of the 28-member Class of 2020, the popular Savarese will be formally inducted at the ninth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner, Sondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), April 19, by Russo se On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.

“I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy gesê. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, in en uit van die ring. His friends and family know that this honor is well deserved.”

Savarese was a local favorite, born in the Bronx and from Greenwood Lake, who was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion having fought at the famed Madison Square Garden.

“This is truly amazing,” Savarese spoke about being inducted into the NYSBHOF. “I’m a New York boxing historian, going back to the 1920’s of New York boxing history. It’s so nice to have fought in the best place, New York, the epicenter of boxing.

Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, klop uit James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro gevegte, highlighted by his 36ste by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) swaargewig titel. It also set up a high profile 1997 konfrontasie met George Foreman in Atlantic City, when Savarese lost a 12-round split decision (114-113, 112-115, 110-118) for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) championship.

Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion James “Buster” Douglas in 1998 for the International Boxing Association World heavyweight title is his greatest accomplishment in the ring.

“I was a big underdog in the Douglas fight,” Savarese remembered. “He had a good jab. That’s No. 1f or me. Winning my first New York Golden Gloves title (1985 toe hy gestopJonathan Hill in the finals) in front of my fans, family and friends was my amateur highlight.”

In addition to the aforementioned IBA World, Savarese also won the WBO Inter-Continental, and IBA Continental championships.

Beside former world champions Douglas and Witherspoon, as well as Mathis Jr., Savarese also defeated world-class heavyweights such as David Bostice, Lance Whitaker and Leo Nolan.
“This is special. I know most of the guys going in and it’s an honor to be amongst them. I fought six world champions (Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Foreman, Witherspoon, Douglas, en Riddick Bowe in die amateurs. Max Kellerman (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. That’s good, I love that.”

Nou 54, Savarese lives in Houston, Texas, where he runs Savarese Promotions, as well as two gyms, in which he trains white-collar boxers. “It’s going to be fun seeing family and friends from back since I first started in boxing,” Savarese concluded. “A ton of people are coming (to the induction dinner), including some from Houston. I turned pro there in 1990, moved back to New York between 2000-2008, and have lived in Houston since then.”

But Lou Savarese will always embody what it is to be a New York boxer.

Other living boxers heading into the NYSBHOF include three-time World light heavyweight title challenger Jorge Ahumada (42-8-2, 22 Uitklophoue), of Woodside, Queens by way of Argentina; (1975-78) WBC super featherweight World Champion Alfred “El Salsero” Escalera (53-14-3, 31 Uitklophoue), of New York City by way of Puerto Rico; WBC super featherweight World title challenger Freddie “The Pitbull” Liberatore (20-4-1, 11 Uitklophoue), of Bayside, Queens; WBC middleweight World Champion and four-time New York Golden Gloves winner Dennis “The Magician” Milton (16-5-1, 5 Uitklophoue), van Bronx; and WBA super middleweight title World title challenger Merqui “El Corombo” Sosa (34-9-2, 27 Uitklophoue), of Brooklyn by way of the Dominican Republic.

Here is what the fighters had to say Thursday from the Tillary Hotel in Brooklyn:

ADAM Kownacka

“I love fighting here in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. It’s almost half my career that I’ve fought in that ring, so it’s definitely my second home.

“Fighting for a shot at the title is truly motivating. I know this is a big fight for Robert as well and he’s trained hard, but my title opportunity is right around the corner. I could have waited, but I decided to take on this big test. I’m going to show off why I’m ready to fight for the title soon.

“It’s truly amazing to see the Polish fans on fight night. I was an Andrew Golota fan and Tomasz Adamek after that. Now I’m trying to be the next motivation for young Polish kids. I want to show them that they can make it. I kept making the right decisions and now I’m right there so close to a title shot. Robert is in my way and I have to beat him to get where I want.

“I love hearing the fans yelling on fight night and that definitely gives me extra energy and motivation to fight in the later rounds.

“I’m looking for a spectacular knockout. I want to show why I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world. I have to take care of business.

“It’s truly amazing to have fans all over the world come to share this night with me. It’s an honor to have this following. It’s breathtaking really. I’d tell them to continue on this journey with toward becoming heavyweight world champion.

“This is a very friendly press conference, there’s a lot of respect between these fighters. I can tell that everyone is ready to put on a great show for the fans on Saturday.”

ROBERT HELENIUS

“I have an opportunity to make a great fight Saturday and that’s what I trained for. I’m ready and I had a great training camp. I can’t wait to get into the ring.

“This fight we came two weeks earlier to the U.S. My body has gotten used to the difference. Meer, the sparring in Alabama at Deontay Wilder’s gym really helped get me ready.

“We’re doing everything right and training has been great. We’ve sparred so many rounds, I feel very sharp and ready to get into the ring against Kownacki.

“I have a lot of fans in Europe and that support is why I can even do this and compete on this level. Everything has been so perfect coming into training camp. It makes me feel more confident than I have in many years.

“I trained for years with a broken hand and have had injuries in the past. But the last two years I’ve been healthy and with the same trainer and I feel physically as good as I ever have.”

EFE AJAGBA

“I’m excited to be on this great show full of heavyweights. I’m looking forward to Saturday night. I thank my opponent for taking this challenge. He’s a good fighter and we’re looking forward to give you a great fight.

“In the Iago Kiladze fight I had him hurt and tried to finish him, but I went too wild and left my guard down. That’s why he landed a shot and knocked me down. I felt okay when I got up and I came back and finished him off.

“It’s up to Cojanu how the fight goes. We’ll find out if he can take my punch or not on Saturday. We’ll see in the ring if he’s got a hard chin.

“Cojanu has a lot of good experience against good fighters. He’s going to try to box me, but if he can’t take my power, then I’ll be able to win the fight by knockout. If he can take it, I will be ready to win a decision.”

RAZVAN COJANU

“Efe is a fighter I respect a lot. He’s a great prospect. But I’m ready for him. I feel very confident in myself. I had a great six-week training camp. Everyone who supported me, I’m going to make them proud on Saturday.

“For this fight I got the chance to work with Henry Tillman and it’s made a huge difference in my game. I know the coach can’t fight for me, but I believe in his plan and his judgement. He knows how I can beat Efe Ajagba and Saturday night you’re going to see me shock the world.

“People think Efe has already won the fight, maar ek voel goed. There’s no pressure on my shoulders. I have nothing to lose. I believe in karma and I believe it’s my time for my moment to come this Saturday.

“I’m very happy to be fighting on FOX for the first time. Best of luck to all of the fighters to come through healthy and give the fans a great performance all night.”

FRANK SANCHEZ

“I’m very excited for this great opportunity to fight on this big PBC card. Saturday is going to be a great fight and you can expect a great performance from me.

“I wish Joey luck on Saturday, but not too much luck. I’m going to demonstrate that I’m one of the best heavyweights in the world.

“He’s not knocking out anybody. With my defense and movement, he’s not going to be able to hurt me. I have everything I need to dominate this fight.

“No one he’s ever fought is like me. He’s going to be shocked when I deliver a tremendous knockout on Saturday night. I’ll see you in the ring on Saturday.”

JOEY DAWEJKO

“I want to thank everyone who helped me get this opportunity. I have an opportunity to be great again. I know a little about Frank Sanchez. I know they’re moving him fast, but I think they took the wrong fight. They should have waited a couple more fights for me and I’m going to prove it.

“I am in great shape and I had a great camp with my trainer Justin Fortune. I can’t wait to get in there and give everyone a great fight.

“Experience will play a big part in this fight. I had a great amateur career and I’ve fought all around the world. I’ve sparred with every champion right now and it’s all going to help.

“Frank is a good fighter, but he’s not ready for me. He’s going to try to box me, but I’m going to be too much. I’m predicting a knockout. He’s going to be in for a big shock. He doesn’t have anything I haven’t already seen before.”

KEITH SHELDON, EVP of Programming & Development for BSE Global

“Soos ons almal weet, BROOKLYN BOXING is at its best when he we have heavyweights in the ring and this card has no shortage of them.

“Adam, you built your career at Barclays Center and we’re thrilled to see you headline for the second time. With nine wins there, it’s safe to say Barclays Center is your second home. We’re excited for you to put on a show for your hometown fans.

“Barclays Center continues to show to the world our steadfast commitment to the sport. This is our second PBC fight this year and the third in the last four months. This further demonstrates our commitment to our boxing program and the sport in general.

“Our partnership with PBC consistently brings great fights to our market and Saturday night is no exception. I’d also like to thank FOX. At Barclays Center we pride ourselves on being in the big event business, and there’s nothing bigger than a primetime heavyweight fight on FOX.”

559 Fights returns to Visalia

Skryf 'n opmerking

SELMA, Kalifornië. – Larry Gonzales hasn’t had the best of luck in his young mixed martial arts career. The Fresno heavyweight had three fights fall apart before he even had a chance to compete.

But once Gonzales stepped foot in the cage, he hasn’t looked back amassing a 4-0 rekord, capturing a 559 Fights Heavyweight Championship and climbing to a No. 3 ranking in the state.

Gonzales hopes to keep the good fortune going on March 13 – Friday the 13th – in a heavyweight title showdown with Fresno’s Kail Melton (1-2) at the Visalia Convention Center. Doors open at 6pm and first fight is at 7.

“Looking at things now this might be one of the largest fight cards we’ve ever put together," 559 Fights owner Jeremy Luchau said. “15 mma bouts in all, with three of them being title fights and a grappling tournament. I don’t know what more fight fans could possibly want.”

The co-main event features a California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization Middleweight State title fight, pitting two of the Valley’s best 185-pound prospects against one another – Hanford’s Marqus Blevins (3-0) and Orange Cove’s Jared Velasquez (4-3).

“It’s been a long time coming to get Blevins into the 559 Fights cage,"Luchau gesê. “Blevins trains out of Valley Fight Club and that’s where I had my start in mixed martial arts training. It’s an honor and a pleasure to be able to have them represented in our promotion. And I’m also excited to have Velasquez back in action. He’s as tough as they come and represents a great city in Orange Cove where we just had an extremely successful event.”

Flyweights will also take center stage, as 125-pound 559 Fights kingpin Johnny Maldonado of Bakersfield defends his perfect 4-0 record in a rematch with former champion Josue Gonzales (3-2) of San Luis Obispo.

559 Fights will also be hosting its first grappling tournament, which will take place in the 155-185 weight classes and feature competitors from all over the Central Valley.

Sam Clarkson Jr.. Squares off Against Israel Duffus for Ring Of Hope’s “Night To Fight” on March 7 in Irving TX

Skryf 'n opmerking
IRVINE, TX (Maart 4, 2020) – Fort Worth born-and-bred boxer Sam Clarkson Jr. was highly motivated by the wrong forces growing up. He was heading down dangerous Dallas roads, ones that could potentially not only derail his life, but spoil his boxing talents as well.


Before the Cedar HIll native found the sweet science at the age of 17, he was already going in and out of jail.


Reflecting on his regressions today, Clarkson Jr. is not proud of his decisions, but he doesn’t regret them either because it made him the stronger.


Non-profit organization Ring Of Hope was created in 2010 to help kids like Clarkson Jr. in the greater Dallas area escape trouble. Oor die afgelope dekade, Ring Of Hope has transformed communities and changed the lives of the youth by educating, studente te bemagtig en te betrek deur die grondbeginsels van boks.


Clarkson Jr. is proof of the promise that Ring Of Hope presents. He embodies the organization’s mission , en nou, Clarkson Jr. (22-5, 15 Uitklophoue) will headline Ring Of Hope’s ninth annual “Night To Fight” on Saturday, Maart 7 when he takes on the Freddie Roach-trained Israel Duffus (19-6, 16 Uitklophoue) by die Toyota Musiekfabriek in Irving, Texas.


“It’s truly a huge blessing to headline Ring of Hope’s event,” said Clarkson Jr. “It’s great to see how Ring of Hope opens its doors to everyone and people of all different backgrounds. I want to become a part of a movement to show kids who may have troubled backgrounds that boxing accepts you no matter who you are.”


The light heavyweight Clarkson is a nine-year veteran who’s defeated the likes of Cedric Agnew and also challenged Dmitry Bivol and Jesse Hart in the past.


Before the 29-year-old southpaw appeared multiple times under the bright lights of Showtime television, he racked up an amateur record of 89-9 and won the National Pals in 2009 and the Ringside silver medal in 2010. Clarkson is also a two-time Texas Golden Gloves champion.


“I was a firecracker always up for a fight,” said Clarkson Jr. “I turned a negative into a positive. When I got introduced to boxing, it was mine, and I have stayed out of trouble for the last 13 jaar. Boxing has changed my life. For kids who are like me when I was growing up, if you have the right passion, there are no limitations to who you can become.”


Clarkson Jr. has frequented Ring of Hope gyms ever since its inception, whether it be for sparring, reconnecting with coaches and old friends or simply speaking and guiding children.


“A lot of the kids at Ring of Hope look up to me because I am a professional boxer. It feels great to motivate them,” said Clarkson Jr. “Ring of Hope is a great platform to help kids escape the streets. I take my hat off to them.


“I’ve returned to my comfort zone with spirituality. I’ve been reading the Bible a lot more and believe that God will set-up everything for me as a family man and a provider. I’ve fallen short a lot in the past, but ever since I’ve refocused my career, everything is falling back into place. Ek is opgewonde, and I can’t wait to put on a great show. Everyone will be pleased to see my skills. I’ll be coming to make a statement. I’m coming with a chip on my shoulder and I’m looking to dominate.”


Clarkson Jr. will attempt to conquer the Panamanian pugilist Duffus, a 27-year-old who’s been training with the Hall of Fame coach Roach at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles ever since he permanently moved to the United States in 2014.


“The last few years have been rough for me. I split with my wife, and we have two very young children. The last thing on my mind in the middle of the storm was boxing,” said Duffus. “My personal issues were affecting me, but I’m doing better now, and I’m focused on putting my career back on track.”


Duffus was riding an eight-fight winning from 2017 en 2018 before his problems outside of the ring took over. He lost his next two fights by unanimous decision. Finally in a better place, he’s looking to bounce back versus Clarkson Jr.


“Freddie has a lot of confidence in me and my talent,” said Duffus, who also has an amateur record of 98-10. “He tells me exactly what I need to do to take advantage of my opponent, and that’s what I plan on doing March 7.”


Weltergewigte moet ook in afsonderlike wedstryde verskyn Jessy Martinez (14-0, 9 Uitklophoue) en Brandyn Lynch (10-1, 8 Uitklophoue), cruiserweight Robin Safar (10-0, 7 Uitklophoue) en die swaargewig Patrick Mailata (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue), Austin-gebaseerde super liggewig Robert Kevin Garcia (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) en die Corpus Christi-gebaseerde liggewig John Rincon (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue).


Night To Fight sal regstreeks beskikbaar wees op Integrated Sports Pay Per View op kabel, satelliet en digitale betaal-per-kyk via in aanvraag, Vubiquity, DIRECTV en GEREG in die Verenigde State van Amerika, Shaw PPV in Kanada en wêreldwyd via die FITE.TV app en webwerf.

Decorated U.S. amateur boxer Angel Gonzalez, Jr. to make pro debut on “Fight Night In Framingham” card

Skryf 'n opmerking

Fighting Life charity event,

 Maart 20ste at Sheraton Hotel

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (Maart 4, 2020) – The long-awaited professional debut of decorated amateurAngel Gonzalez, Jr. will take place Friday night, Maart 20, on the “Fight Night In Framingham” card, presented by Shearns Boxing Promotions (SBP), at Sheraton Framingham Hotel in Framingham, Massachusetts.

“Fight Night In Framingham”, the first pro boxing event ever in Framingham, is being held for the benefit ofFighting Life, an after-school youth boxing and academic empowerment program, available 100-percent free of charge, to students beginning in elementary school through high school education.

Gonzalez hasn’t fought in three years, since he moved from his native Hartford, CT to Florida. “It took me a while to settle in after I moved to Florida,” Gonzalez explained. “I’ve been going to a gym and now I’m on track and coming back to turn pro. I have the talent for bigger and better things.”

The 26-year-olldf super flyweight had a 45-6 amateur rekord, highlighted by three New England Golden Gloves, two Ringside National and 2014 National PAL championships.

The problem for Gonzalez, al, is finding appropriate opponents, especially where he was a standout amateur. Right now, he’s still without a signed opponent, largely because there are so few 115-pound boxers in America outside of California and the Southwest. “Most super flyweights are from Mexico, Japan, or other foreign countries,” Gonzalez said. “It doesn’t matter to me who I fight. I can slug or box, depending on my opponent. If he’s taller, I’ll fight on the inside; if shorter, I’ll box from the outside. I’ll adjust to my opponent. My best punch is my right. It’s solid and deadly.”

“I’ve offered this fight to guys with 5 te 10 fights and after consideration,” promoterChuck Shearns verduidelik, “they have declined to fight Angel. These lower weight classes can be hard enough to match, never mind against Angel. What you find is that these smaller guys need to step up their competition earlier than other weight classes, because it’s simply a smaller pool of fighters. We will see what Angel has very early in his career.”

Two unbeaten pro “graduates” of the Fighting Life Boxing Program, super featherweightsTimmy Ramos (5-0-2, 5 Uitklophoue) enNelson “Chino” Perez (2-0, 2 Uitklophoue), sal in aksie wees, onderskeidelik,  in the main event and co-featured event.

Ramos, fighting out of Framingham, was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. He is in the 6-round, main event against superCarlos Marrero, III (2-3-1), van Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Perez, who comes from nearby Marlboro, MA, is another New England Golden Gloves champion, who will be fighting Indianapolis lightweightDeWayne Wisdom (7-52-2, 3 Uitklophoue) in the 6-round. co-featured event. Perez faces

Boston heavyweightTracey Johnson (4-7-6), whose brother is past Olympian and reigning WBO super middleweight championDemetrius Andrade, gesigteLarry “Hitman” Pryor (11-22-5, 5 Uitklophoue) in a 6-round bout.

OMGEWINGSGEveg SAL 'N REMATCH BY NEF KRY 43 IN ORONO

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Orono, Maine (Februarie 28, 2020) - New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende gemengde-vechtkunsten aan (Plaasmoorde) byeenkoms in die Collins Centre for the Arts op die Universiteit van Maine se vlagskip Orono-kampus. Die geleentheid, getiteld “NEF 43: Rampage,”Vind Saterdag plaas, April 18, 2020, met 'n kloktyd van 7 pm EDT. Vroeër vandag, die strydpromosie het die toevoeging van 'n amateurvlieggewigstryd op die kaart aangekondig. Caleb “Dr.. Feelgood ”Austin (4-0) sal in die gesig staar James Ploss (1-2) teen 'n gevegsgewig van 125 pond.

Die stryd is 'n herkansing van die eerste stryd tussen Austin en Ploss wat drie jaar tevore in April plaasgevind het 2017 by “NEF 28.” Austin is as die wenner van die eerste wedstryd aangewys, maar nie sonder omstredenheid nie. Sekondes in die eerste ronde, Ploss het 'n stywe guillotine-verstikking op Austin aangebring. Austin tik uit, maar die skeidsregter was buite posisie om die kraan te sien. Ploss het Austin uit die ruim vrygelaat, dink hy het die stryd gewen. Die skeidsregter, tot Ploss se verbystering, het die geveg beveel om voort te gaan. Terwyl Ploss probeer het om die situasie te verstaan, Austin het hom van stryk gebring en die stryd oomblikke later met tegniese uitklophou afgesluit.

In die dae daarna, baie was kritiek op Austin op sosiale media. Dit lyk asof die saak na 'n paar dae dood is, net om einde verlede jaar weer op die voorgrond te bring toe die voormalige UFC- en WEC-ster Mike Brown (26-9) het die clip op Twitter gedeel as 'n voorbeeld van 'baklei totdat die skeidsregter vir jou sê om op te hou.' Skielik, die geveg het wêreldwyd aandag gekry van groot aanlyn nuusbronne soosBloedige elmboog, MMA Junkie, Die Atletiek, enDie Underground.

Die eerste geveg met Ploss was Caleb Austin se amateur-MMA-debuut. Hy was toe 18 jaar oud en nog steeds senior aan die Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Austin was 'n opvallende stoeier op hoërskool, opstel van 'n rekord van 208-11 meer as vier jaar en die verowering van staatstitels op 126 pond sy junior en senior jaar. Hy is aangewys as die 2017 “Stoeier van die Jaar” deur die Lewiston Sun Journal. Na die gradeplegtigheid, Austin sit sy stoeiloopbaan voort aan die Universiteit van Suid-Maine, maar hy neem die volgende twee jaar af van die MMA-kompetisie. Hy het verlede somer teruggekeer en het drie gevegte agtereenvolgens gewen sedert hy sy terugkeer gemaak het. Austin verteenwoordig tans die Brasiliaanse Jiu-Jitsu in Sentraal-Maine (CMBJJ) in Lewiston, Maine.

'Ek is opgewonde om uiteindelik weer met James te kan veg om 'n mate van sluiting te kry,”Het Austin van die herkansing met Ploss gesê. 'My MMA-debuut spook by my sedert dit amper drie jaar gelede gebeur het. Ek is James en sy span dankbaar dat hulle my die geleentheid gegee het om weer saam met hom daar in te kom. Ek wou dit al lank hê en ek belowe om die oomblik optimaal te benut. As ek hierdie keer die hok verlaat, dit sal sonder twyfel of kontroversie wees — dit sal definitief eindig. ”

James Ploss het nog twee keer in die stryd getree 2017 en het sedertdien nog nie deelgeneem nie. Hy is 'n lid van Greg Williams se Team Kaze in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Soos Austin, Ploss sal op soek wees na afsluiting van die uitslag van hul eerste ontmoeting.

'Ek is dankbaar vir 'n herkansing met Caleb,”Het Ploss gesê. 'Nadenke, Ek het die vraag nagedink, ‘Is ek beter as Kaleb, of is hy beter as ek?'Dit is die perfekte kans om uit te vind - 'n tweede kans vir ons albei om alles te gee en te sien wie bo uitkom en die ondersteuners gee, MMA-gemeenskap, en albei van ons die rematch wat ons almal wil hê! 18 April, ons toets albei onsself. ”

New England Fights’ volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vegkuns, “NEF 43: Rampage,” vind Saterdag plaas, April 18, 2020, by die Collins Centre for the Arts by UMaine Orono. Kaartjies is te koop nou opwww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.
