Bealtaine 29, 2019 FNU47 Leave a comment

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach: Lewiston, Maine (Bealtaine 25, 2019) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Meitheamh 22 lena chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” One of the featured fights on the amateur portion of the pro/am card will see Nate Boucher (4-3) tangle with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant NEF Amateur Flyweight Title.

This will be Boucher’s second attempt at capturing the flyweight belt. Then-undefeated, Boucher met Justin Witham (4-4) i mí na Samhna 2017 for the championship in Portland, Maine. Witham went on to win the bout, and the title, via split decision on the judges’ scórchártaí. Many in attendance, áfach, felt that Boucher had dominated the bout.

The loss to Witham was the start of a three-fight skid for the former wrestler from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Boucher has rebounded and put himself back in contention for the flyweight strap with back-to-back first-round submission victories at “NEF 36” agus “NEF 37,” faoi seach.

Boucher represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lewiston, Maine.

“Since coming up short on the judges’ scorecards in my first title fight—a fight that many fans feel I won—I have been focused on one single goal: getting another shot at the belt,” said Boucher. “Ar deireadh, that opportunity is here and I don’t plan on allowing anything to stand in my way of achieving my main goal which is winning the flyweight title! I’m doing everything that I need to do in order to make sure that the judges don’t play a role in the outcome on June 22nd. Special thanks to all of my sponsors and supporters for helping me on my way back to the belt fight—I vow to make you all proud at ‘All-American’ in Lewiston.”

Robert Presley, known as “The Warrior,” comes to Maine all the way from Lancaster, Ohio to challenge for the flyweight title. He was victorious in his most recent bout last January via unanimous decision. With this being his tenth amateur bout, Presley plans on turning pro soon after. He represents both 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu and the Lancaster Academy of MMA.

“On June 22nd, I will be flying in from the little town of Newark, Ohio to go to war with Nate Boucher for the NEF flyweight title,” said Presley. “I don’t know much about Nate, but I will be honored to share the cage with him. Tar éis an troid, I am turning pro. I’ve learned a lot from my amateur career and am ready to showcase my talent. Many thanks to NEF for giving me a chance to please their home crowd. I hope everyone is ready for a battle!"

DO SCAOILEADH Láithreach: Lewiston, Maine (Bealtaine 22, 2019) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Meitheamh 22 lena chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Níos luaithe inniu, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card. Carlton Charles (3-2) Beidh aghaidh Jordan Norman (2-1) for the vacant amateur middleweight belt.

Prior to entering the MMA ranks, Carlton Charles made his mark on the football field. He played for Windham High School in Windham, Maine and later led the team to a Class A title as an assistant coach. Charles went on to play fullback for the University of Maine Black Bears. He made his NEF debut in the summer of 2017 with a 23-second knockout win. He would top that performance with a 12-second knockout victory in February 2018. After an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the amateur welterweight title against Duncan Smith (5-3) last June, Charles returned to the cage one month ago in New Hampshire and picked up yet another first-round knockout win.

“Mar i gcónaí, I feel blessed and very grateful for the opportunity to fight for the belt,” said Charles. “I know Jordan has come a long way in this sport and is always training hard and improving. I will be looking to not be caught by one of those big meat hooks that he has for hands. He’s a big powerful guy, and I’m going to be training hard as always to be able to go out and perform to my best ability. I know my coaches will have me ready for this one! have no doubt in my mind the fans will be in for a real treat with this one.”

Jordan Norman has indeed come a long way since his NEF debut last June. He lost that evening via first-round knockout, but Norman would come firing back in his next two bouts. He won a split decision over John Assam (0-1) titim anuas, and just last month finished Greg Ishihara (0-1) in the second round. Norman represents the Bad Little Falls Dojo.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to get into the NEF cage and compete for the amateur title against someone like Carlton,” exclaimed Norman. “He and I will put on one hell of a show for the Lewiston crowd. Both of us come to fight and it won’t be any different on June 22nd. I have nothing but respect for him and his team. I’m excited for the task at hand and scrapping it out for the middleweight title.”

The middleweight title fight between Charles and Norman is the fourth already announced for the “NEF 39” card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt, and undefeated Glory Watson (4-0) takes on Caree Hill (4-1) to crown NEF’s first amateur women’s flyweight champion.

In 2018, she was the runner up for “Rookie na Bliana” as voted by NEF fans. Earlier this year, Watson submitted a very tough Rachael Lippert (4-3) ag “NEF 37.” She followed up that performance with a unanimous decision victory this spring on a fight card in Massachusetts. Watson represents Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Maine.

“I am looking forward to stepping up and attempting to earn the 125 teideal,” said Watson. “Caree Hill is a good opponent, and will present a new set of challenges for me as a fighter. An troid, bua nó caillfidh, will test my skill and my heart. My time in the amateur ranks may be limited, so I plan to work my way to the top.”

Caree Hill will make the 3,000 mile journey across country from Portland, Oregon to face Watson for the strap. After winning her first three amateur fights, Hill took some time off from the cage following her first loss in 2017. She returned late in 2018 with a unanimous decision victory in her most recent bout. Hill holds a win in the cage of national promotion Legacy FC. She represents Team Quest which was founded by MMA pioneers and UFC legends Randy Couture (19-11) and Dan Henderson (32-15). Hill is in good company with Team Quest. The West Coast-based team has produced many of the top names in the sport over the years, including Chael Sonnen (30-16), Nate Quarry (12-4), and the late Evan Tanner (32-8) just to name a few.

“I’m honored for the opportunity to fight for the flyweight championship for New England Fights,” remarked Hill when reached for comment. “I relish the challenge of fighting an undefeated fighter in her own backyard. I never back down from a challenge. This is guaranteed to be an exciting fight.”

The title fight between Watson and Hill joins two other championship contests already announced for the “NEF 39” card.
