MATT GLOVER ATOPA FUTURO NA LOITA TRAS O FÚTBOL

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 22, 2016) – Durante os anos 2003-2006, Matt Glover (1-0) foi o xogador do Mountain Valley High School en Rumford, Maine que fixeches non quere acabar mirando dende o outro lado da pel de porco. De máis de seis metros de alto e un peso de 250 quilos, o apoio medio pesadelo axudou a construír Mountain Valley (MV) nunha dinastía futbolística moderna castigando aos portadores de balón durante catro anos condecorados e levando a MV a dous campionatos estatais no proceso.. Presionou o banco 400 libras na sala de musculación e foi un inferno sobre rodas no campo converténdoo nun poderoso xogador de dobre ameaza tanto en ataque como en defensa.. A súa reputación é lendaria na zona de River Valley, no oeste de Maine, como un atleta temido e respectado.

 

Despois de graduarse en Mountain Valley en 2007, Glover deixou atrás o fútbol para ir traballar. Casou coa súa moza de moito tempo, Lindsey, e tivo un fillo. Mercaron unha casa xuntos. Durante as estacións de verán e outono, percorreu o circuíto de feiras agrícolas en Maine cos seus cabalos tirando, unha tradición familiar na que se criou dende pequeno.

 

"A miña familia leva competindo en tiro de cabalos dende que era neno,", explicou Glover. "Leva moito tempo e fai que o meu pai sexa novo. Levántome cedo todas as mañás para exercitar os meus equipos de cabalos antes de ir ao traballo pola noite. Entre o meu pai, a miña muller e eu, temos 11 cabalos de tiro. Embalamos o noso propio feno para todos eles. Encántame apoialos no arrastre e velos cavar".

 

Pero a pesar da plenitude da súa vida, a convocatoria da competición aínda lle facía aceno e deixoulle unha sensación de morriña. "Tería matado para ter esa mesma sensación de novo,", recordou Glover. "E entón entrei na gaiola".

 

A principios de 2015, Irmán menor de Matt, Ryan, outro destacado no fútbol de Mountain Valley, fixo as súas artes marciais mixtas (MMA) debut en "NEF 16". Ryan pululou ao seu opoñente na súa primeira loita e detívoo nun estremecedor 12 segundos. Matt estivo presente esa noite e atopou a súa curiosidade espertada ante a perspectiva de competir nun tipo diferente de deporte de contacto..

 

Máis tarde 2015, Ryan competiu polo campionato de peso pesado amateur NEF inaugural. Aquela noite abandonou unha decisión ao actual titular do título, Billy "Bigfoot" Leahy (3-1). Tras a vitoria, a conversa do lixo rapidamente aumentou entre Leahy e os membros de Berserkers MMA, baseado en Rumford e dirixido polos adestradores Gary Dolloff e Mike Hansen (3-3). "Cando Billy Leahy chamou a todos os mozos de Berserkers despois de que gañara ao meu irmán, entón foi o xogo,", recordou Matt.

 

Matt comezou a adestrar estreitamente cos membros do corpo técnico dos Berserkers, incluíndo Hansen e outros, a quen acredita a súa acelerada curva de aprendizaxe no deporte. Adicionalmente, Matt xogou moito co irmán Ryan, que se estaba preparando para unha loita propia a mesma noite na que Matt estaba programado para facer o seu debut en MMA. "O meu irmán e eu non somos coma outros irmáns,", explicou Matt. "Imos ao ximnasio e pegámonos uns aos outros e despois volvemos a casa no mesmo camión; así fomos sempre.. Empuxar, empurrar, empuxe: todo é competencia connosco. Desde o primeiro en chegar á seguinte farda de palleiro no campo de palleiro ata o primeiro en chegar á mesa da cea, así é como operamos.

 

"Matt é unha verdadeira persoa competitiva,” a súa muller, Lindsey, confirmado. "Todo é unha competición con el. Sabía que a loita en gaiolas alimentaría esa fame competitiva que sente todo o tempo cando non tira dos seus cabalos.

 

Matt fixo o seu debut oficial en MMA en febreiro en "NEF 21: OS INMORTAIS” contra o veterano duradeiro Gravin Guillen (2-5). Matt superou as expectativas do debut ao rematar Guillén en só 1:30 da primeira volta por nocaut técnico (QUEN). Cando o árbitro despexou a escena, O rostro de Guillen mostraba os efectos das fazañas de Glover que batían récords na sala de musculación. Os fans de Glover's Rumford que asistiron en gran cantidade esa noite, expresaron a súa aprobación en aplausos atronadores. “Ao principio, Tiven bolboretas,"Lembrou Glover, “Pero unha vez oín a toda a xente aplaudir, o único que fixo foi me infundir. Estaba preparado para loitar. Gañar ou perder, Sabía que tiñan as miñas costas e moito máis".

 

Esta fin de semana, Glover está a punto de facer a súa segunda aparición na gaiola da NEF cando se enfronte a Ras Hylton de 6'6" (1-0) do ximnasio rival, First Class MMA. Hylton fixo o seu debut a mesma noite que Glover e, como o seu rival esta fin de semana, fixo un traballo rápido do seu opoñente ao conseguir unha vitoria por TKO en 1:21 da primeira quenda.

 

Fundador e adestrador principal de Berserkers MMA, Mike Hansen, prevé unha noite dominante para Glover. "Matt é moito máis forte do que parece, que é incrible se algunha vez o viches,", afirmou Hansen. "Un rapaz do seu tamaño normalmente loita coa axilidade, pero Matt non. É un super deportista e fácil de adestrar. Matt mellora a diario e será un gigante na división afeccionada de peso pesado.

 

"Ras está afeito a ser o tipo máis grande en todas as súas pelexas. Non será así o sábado pola noite. Matt poñerá as súas mans sobre Hylton dun xeito que nunca antes lle tocaron. Non vexo a Ras afastarse desta pelexa coa man alta. Debería consideralo unha vitoria se pode marchar en absoluto cando Matt remate con el.

 

Entrando Sábado noite, Glover séntese ben preparado para seguir construíndo o seu éxito no deporte de MMA que comezou a crear en febreiro. Se o seu historial deportivo é algún indicador, debería ter confianza no futuro. "Estou preparado para esta loita,", dixo Glover. "Nesta loita, Estou máis relaxado porque o meu irmán non está loitando e podo concentrarme na miña loita... Despois da primeira vitoria, Sabía que estaba enganchado porque non hai mellor sensación".

 

"Cando a xente comezou a falar con Matt sobre competir en MMA, Estaba completamente en contra do 110% ", dixo Lindsey. "Pero despois de velo adestrar tanto cos mozos no ximnasio e ver que ten a mesma paixón por iso que polo seu cabalo., Sentinme máis a gusto e decidín que se iso era algo que quería perseguir, Apoiaríao de calquera forma que puidese.

 

"Os irmáns Glover loitando en MMA é algo importante para Rumford," Lindsey declarou ao peche. "Cada vez que está preto da noite de loita, esta cidade cobra vida. Non importa onde vaia dentro do deporte, esta cidade e a súa familia apoialo".

BAMFORD & GULLIVER: A FIRST CLASS FRIENDSHIP FORGED THROUGH FIRE

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 21, 2016) – Bryce Bamford (1-0) and Nick Gulliver (2-0) share a bond that was built by spilling blood and sweat together in Brazilian Jit Jitsu gyms across Maine and New England. When they enter the NEF cage together o sábado night in Lewiston at “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ,” it will be the culmination of a combat sports friendship that goes back almost a decade.

 

“Let’s just call him ‘The Hulk,’ since he is a machine on the ground and strong as an ox,” Gulliver, a police officer by trade, joked when asked about his gym partner and confidant, Bamford. “’The Hulk’ and I have been training together for a long time… He is a one of a kind training partner. If I look at him and say that I need help with something, he will help me in any way that he can. He has everything you want in a training partner and a friend. He is a great guy and I’m so happy I can train with someone like Bryce.”

 

Bamford and Gulliver first met several years ago at Fitness Styles, originally located in Livermore Falls, Maine. “It was more just ‘go and punch each other’ and it was a little wild,” Gulliver recalled. Soon after, Bamford moved his training over to The Foundry in Farmington, Maine where he began focusing on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in earnest. Before long, Bamford recruited Gulliver to join him at The Foundry where the two have remained loyal training partners. “Best thing I could have done,’ Gulliver stated. “I’ve been training with Bryce ever since.”

 

Ano pasado, Gulliver, who currently holds the rank of purple belt in BJJ, began cross-training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham and returned the favor to Bamford by pulling him over to Raio’s gym where the two began supplementing their BJJ studies with rigorous mixed martial arts (MMA) adestramento. Immediately finding that the sport was a fit for both of them, Gulliver was the first to test his MMA skills in the NEF cage. He made his debut last June at “NEF 18: MADE IN AMERICA” and finished Ora Spratt (0-2) por finalización no primeiro round.

 

“One of the most memorable moments that I have of Bryce was after my first MMA fight,” Gulliver recalled. “Bryce came down to speak with me and he congratulated me on my first win. I looked at him and thanked him for all the help that he has given me over the past few years. Then I said to him: ‘Now it’s your turn.’ He looked at me and shook his head. I could tell he was hooked at that moment. But he said, ‘My mom came and watched you and loved it, but I don’t think she can handle watching me fight.’ I laughed because I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he would be in the cage fighting next to me.”

 

Gulliver was right.

 

Bamford, 40, a dedicated father and family man, runs a slasher at Palletone in Livermore Falls during his day job. The soft spoken, yet charismatic heavyweight currently holds the rank of Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As complimentary as Gulliver is of him, Bamford equally values Gulliver’s work ethic and the deep bond that the two share. “When Nick sets a goal, he doesn’t stop until he gets there,” Bamford stated. “He is relentless.”

 

After witnessing Gulliver’s stellar debut in the NEF hexagon, Bamford felt the itch to follow his friend’s lead and challenge himself in the ultimate proving ground. “I blame Nick for the fact that I am stepping into the cage and not sitting up in the stands drinking cold beer with everyone else,” laughed Bamford.

 

Bamford made his NEF debut in November 2015 at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.” He needed only 19 seconds to stop his opponent that night.

 

“Bryce is 40 anos, but that number means nothing—just ask anyone who has grabbed ahold of him,” Gulliver stated. “If he would have got involved in this sport 20 anos, no one would have touched him if he was training the way he trains today. He’s the first guy in the gym and the last guy out. That is why his age means nothing. He has heart and a lot of it. I respect a guy with the outlook on life like Bryce Bamford has. He can teach us all something.”

 

Esta fin de semana, Bamford and Gulliver are set to take to the cage again. Bamford is scheduled to face a man ten years younger than him in Joe Krech (0-1) and Gulliver is set to take on his biggest challenge to date when he faces former multiple-time state champion wrestler Dave Smith (2-1) from Beserkers MMA in Rumford, Maine.

 

“’All Roads Lead Here’ is a title so fitting for a story like the one between Bryce and I,” Gulliver stated. “Every day we have been training—every time we make each other bleed or sweat or tired—it all leads up to April 23rd. This is why we push each other—for opportunities like this.”

 

Leading into this weekend’s blockbuster event, there are strong rumors that this could be Bamford’s last MMA fight. At 40-years old and with a loving wife and child at home, there are other interests that the camping and motorcyclist enthusiast is passionate to pursue. If NEF 22 is in fact the last time that the two storied training partners take to the cage together, they intend to capitalize on the opportunity to solidify their martial arts history with a pair of wins o sábado.

 

"En 20 anos from now, I can see Bryce and I talking about this fight, drinking a beer,” Gulliver stated in closing. “We won’t talk about how much work we put into the fight, or how many hours we trained, or how many times we kicked each other’s asses—but we will talk about the fun time we had in that moment. Some things in life, you don’t forget. Times like this upcoming weekend are one of those moments. I’m glad I can share that with Bryce.”

NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP

Leave a comment

Para divulgación inmediata: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. Loitas de Nova Inglaterra (NEF) Artes marciais Mixtas (MMA) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (13-8) took to Facebook to notify his fans that he had vacated the title belt. Some speculated that it could be an April Fools’ broma, but those rumors were later quelled when Boyington himself stated under the thread that his decision had been made for personal and medical reasons, citing recent surgeries and a host of longstanding injuries.

 

“After one of the most inspirational and exhilarating rides of my life, I have talked with my wife, my coaching staff and teammates and have decided it’s now time to let go of one chapter and turn the page for another,” Boyington stated when reached for official comment. “NEF has been there for me since the start and I couldn’t ask for a better group to get me where I want to go. I like the thought of vacating the belt on top and handing it off to one of my teammates, hopefully Josh Harvey (0-0) and I will be excited to watch a couple other lightweight warriors going after the strap. Obviously Jon Lemke has quite a claim to that shot and I see my friend Jesse Erickson in the mix as well. Whatever should happen, I will always cherish every battle I’ve had in the NEF cage. Thank you sincerely to Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo.”

 

NEF executives acted quickly and formulated a plan by medianoite to fill the title that sits atop the fight promotion’s most hotly contested professional division. As a new day dawned, that plan had come to fruition.

 

“Bruce was a great champion,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “He was the face of this promotion for two years. The 155-pound title is our most coveted championship and there is no shortage of worthy challengers. The decision to fill it as soon as possible was an easy one to make.”

 

Jesse “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) e Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” to crown a new champion. The bout was already signed as a non-title three-rounder to headline the MMA portion of the April 23rd fight card in Lewiston, Maine. Both athletes quickly agreed to go five rounds with the title on the line. Both athletes have each won their last three fights in a row respectively.

 

“I am honored to be able to fight for the title which I saw Bruce Boyington recently defend against Jon Lemke (5-4) in the best local fight I’ve ever gotten to see,” said Powell. “I hope Jesse and I can put on a show for the fans that can be talked about for years to come. I’ve been training too hard and too long to not hop on this opportunity. I can’t wait to get in that cage April 23rdin front of an always amped up NEF crowd!”

 

Speaking of Lemke, NEF executives placed one condition on the upcoming Erickson-Powell bout – the winner must make his first defense of the lightweight title against Lemke. Lemke lost a very close split decision in an attempt to claim the title from Boyington earlier this year. That fight has been called “the greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cage” by many observers.

 

“Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21’ was nothing short of epic. I was completely spellbound watching that fight for the full 25-minutes it was contested. It’s a bittersweet time at NEF. Bruce was a great fighting champion and despite the high stakes every time he stepped into the cage, he was always one of the most active competitors on the NEF roster. Bruce’s warrior spirit and memorable performances in the NEF cage will be dearly missed, but we are fortunate to have so many superb athletes waiting in the wings right behind him to fill that void. There will be no shortage of upcoming action in the NEF lightweight division.”

 

“It was a privilege and honor to fight Bruce for the lightweight title,” stated Lemke when reached for comment. “After the fight, I was pretty confident I did enough to win. Agora, after watching the fight numerous times, there is no doubt in my mind that I won that fight. If Bruce doesn’t want to fight me again and vacate his belt, I understand and respect that decision. Con todo, I am hungrier than ever and want what I believe is rightfully mine. It would be an honor to fight the winner of Erickson versus Powell for the title and I very much look forward to it.”

 

O April 23rd bout will be Jesse Erickson’s third attempt to capture the lightweight title. He had competed against Boyington twice previously unsuccessfully for the championship.

 

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to compete once again for the NEF lightweight title,” stated Erickson. “I was embarrassed postponing my first fight with Devin due to injury, but it seems everything happens for a reason. To bleed for gold and glory. My Viking ancestors would be proud. Give me the battle I crave, Devin. Victory or Valhalla!”

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 31, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.

 

On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Maine, Brandon “O Canón” Baga(11-1, 7 Kos) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 Kos). Baga, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.

 

That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Sicário” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Kos), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Kos), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Kos) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “Spoiler” para “O Canón” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” mes pasado, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 Kos). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.

 

Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will be Jesse “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) e Devin Powell (5-1) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.

 

“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview on The MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”

 

Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.

 

“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”

 

“Tolo” e “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) e Matt “Ken boneca” Denning (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage on April 23rd.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) nun ataque pluma. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Caleb Salón (6-3) e Erik Nelson (2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “NEF XX” último outono, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Angela Mozo(0-1) e “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

Máis recentemente, Parker dropped a decision to undefeated Julio Perez (4-0) on a boxing card in Rhode Island. He is hungry for his first victory as a professional boxer.

 

“I want to thank NEF for another opportunity to fight,” dixo Parker. “I have a lot to prove. My skills have not been reflected in my past few performances. I’ve switched up some aspects of my training and I’m confident that I will finally be able to bring the real me to the ring. I will be facing an experienced opponent who will present some tough challenges for me – which is exactly what I wanted. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced is myself, and now that I’ve figured him out, it doesn’t matter who’s standing in front of me.”

 

A veteran of more than twenty professional fights, Evincii Dixon has been one of the northeast’s most active boxers since his debut in the summer of 2013. Dixon, who calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania his home, often fights multiple times in a given month in places as far away as Texas, California and, máis recentemente, Ohio. He made the 500-mile trek to Lewiston, Maine last month, picking up a win in the NEF ring against Antonio Chaves Fernandez (7-26-3). Dixon will be looking to get back in the win column at “NEF 22” after a loss last weekend.
