NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_mutunga +(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Pipiri 10, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” tenei Rāhoroi po, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Aita i maoro a'e, headliners Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8), te NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion, a John “Class Tuatahi” Ray(2-7) tahi-rangatira NEF me te matchmaker piri Matt Peterson i runga i te motuhake “Head-ki-Head” putanga o te NEF Podcast. I korerohia e Boyington me Raio nga korero mo te reanga kei te haere mai, me nga tautohetohe mo te hui tuatahi i te Hui-tanguru 2014, i roto i te tahi atu kaupapa.

 

Ko te uiui i tere haere ki te tihi o te pakanga tuatahi. I puta a Raio ki te hora i te koroka tua-tahanga ki a Boyington i runga i te moenga i te mutunga o te rauna tuatahi. Ka tiimata te toro a Boyington i tana ringa ki te rangi ka tere haere te kaitautoko a Jimmy Bickford ki te aukati i te pakanga. He maha nga mea kua puta mo te tangata rongonui “ngaru ringa.” Ahakoa i kite a Bickford hei tohu mo te tukunga a Boyington, Ka totohe Boyington kua i kïia e noa ia ki ona pā i roto i te mano, e kore i te mau te mahi i tetahi kino.

 

“Ka taea e ahau te korero ki a koutou me pehea te takanga o taua po,” I maumahara a Raio mo te tukinga tuatahi. “Fele, Na Bruce i whakahoki mai tana tuara ki ahau. I taku tangohanga i tana tuara, I a au nga matau a he koka nga tua-tahanga o taku raina kauae. I te tarai ahau ki te pehi i raro i tana korokoro, a kia rite ki mau ahau toku bicep maui, me toku ringa i mahue haere i muri i tona matenga, te tohutoro mutu te whawhai… I miharo ahau i kairïwhi ia no te, tika, I mohio ahau e ahau he rota o te pēhanga ki runga ki tona kauae… Ki te i roto i te meka i poipoia e ia, e ngotea hoki ia.”

 

“I roto i taua āhuatanga, Āta mahara ahau titiro Bickford i ahau, Au fehangahangai ahau ake, te haere ia mo toku kaki, me te au poipoia ahau,” Said Boyington. “Katoa tīmata e hamama ana tūturu nui, me te mahara ahau Bickford mea, 'Kāore he Bruce, e kore koutou e taea e te mea e '… Ki te whakaaro koe e ahau te tuku ranei e ahau au e ahau i roto i te raru ranei, e kore e taea manawa, kaore koe e korero ki te toa, “E kore e taea e koe te mea e,” ka peke noa koe ka mutu te pakanga. Kei te whakaaro ahau kua he tana. Kei te mohio ahau kei te mohio ia ki tena… Kite ahau i te rota o te mea rerekē i mea e kua Hoani online, a ka kua mea atu te iwi i te rota o te mea, a koinei te wa i tino tiimata ahau ki te awangawanga mo nga mea i tupu. I penei au ka taea e ia te whakahaere pai ake.”

 

I mua ki Boyington hoatu ake tona hoki, he maha i mahara kua wikitoria ia i te rauna tuatahi. Ko e mo'oni, Ko te aitua o Boyington te mea nui i taua ahiahi. I patai a Peterson ki nga kaiwhakataetae e rua kia whakaarohia he aha ka tupu mena kaore te kaitautoko i aukati i te pakanga i tera wa.

 

“Heipü, Whakaaro ahau e Hoani kua patototanga i,” kī Boyington tino. “E kore e whakaaro ahau au pepa ahau tuku ia ia, na te mea ko te mea pai tena ki a au. He kaha ia ki te tiaki i tetahi tono.”

 

“Whakaaro ahau, ki te kahore i mutu i te tohutoro i te wa, i ahau i runga i tona kauae ki toku kikowhiti, a pa e ahau i muri i tona kaki,” Ie Ray, “Ki taku whakapono kua paheke atu toku ringa i raro i tana korokoro ana kua mutu i etahi wa i mua o te rauna. Na, E kore e whakaaro ahau e ua te reira riro ki te rua a tawhio noa.”

 

I roto i nga ra, wiki, me marama e whai ake nei i te whawhai, e rua nga kaiwhaiwhai a Boyington me Raio i tino kaha ki te whakaputa korero i runga i te ao papaho e pa ana ki te mutunga o te whakataetae. Kua roa te taupatupatu i waenga i nga taha e rua neke atu i te kotahi tau neke atu. Me te nui o nga moni kei ia taha mo te “NEF XVIII,” pa e rua kaitäkaro i runga i te tikanga o te rematch ki a ratou, a te mea e ti'a ratou ki te whakamatau i tenei wiki e haere mai.

 

“Ahau e kore e tika e taea te haere ki roto i te reira, ka whiua a Hoani,” Said Boyington. “Ahakoa tana ake pā kei te hua noa e… E kore e taea e ahau te haere ki noa i roto i reira i runga i Pipiri 13ka whiua a John Raio. Me haere ahau ki reira ki te whakangaro i a ia. Ranei ka ngaro tonu ahau i tenei pakanga. E mohio ana ahau e, ana ka haere ahau ki reira korero ai. Ana ka mahia e au ma te ringa kotahi, e kore e te no te mea noa te mahi atu i te ringa matau i teie nei… Kaore au i te awangawanga mo tenei ra mai i te ra tuatahi. Kaore he aha ki a John Raio. Kaore au e whakahawea ki te taane. Kaore au e pai ki te taane. He tangata pai ia. Kei noa ahau i tetahi atu taumata. Me whakaatu atu au ki te whakamatau i tena. Koira tena ki ahau. Ehara i te mea mo taku patu i a John. Ko tenei mo au ki te whakaatu ki nga taangata katoa kei hea ahau.”

 

“I roto i te whakaaro ki a Bruce whakaoti ahau hohoro, a hanga ngāwari te reira, e kore a tino manukanuka te whawhai rawa nui, Tika kitea e ahau faatura i te reira, ano he rota o nga mea ngā mea ia ki a ahau, toku hapu, me oku hoa,” ka whakahoki a Raio. “He nga wa i muri i te whawhai whakamutunga, i congratulating ahau te iwi (i runga i Facebook) a ka haere tonu ia kia rite ki te korero mo te kotahi, e rua ranei nga pararangi i runga i nga korero katoa i whakatakotoria e te katoa ki taku whaarangi mo te toru ra te roa. Na, i muri i mea ahau, Bruce, a kahore e tino ahau a muri hoa,’ na ka mukua ia e ahau. He pai ki ahau i mua o tera pakanga… engari ka faatura ahau te iwi, ano he ia te reira uaua ki te rite i te taata.”

Lewiston, Maine (Kia 19, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, kauwhautia te whakatairanga i te tonu kāri whawhai mo te hui.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Class Tuatahi” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, Heoi, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ahakoa, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Pipiri 13 i roto i te Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, a 2014 “Fighter o te Tau,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Ko te kitenga i Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) i roto i te a'ee taumahawaenga. Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

 

In other professional bouts: Hehe “Ko te Viking” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “Nef XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; a Iraia “Danger Kiore” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Pū” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.

 

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) aRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

 

In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) tapawhā atu ki Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

 

A women’s fight will also be featured on the amateur card withAlex Walker (0-1) e anga Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 i “Nef XVII” last month with her “Whawhai o te Po” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

Bruce Boyington protests to referee Jimmy Bickford after his first fight with John Raio is stopped

Lewiston, Maine (April 21, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) ka tutaki John “Class Tuatahi” Ray (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 i “NEF XII” i roto i te Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

 

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

 

“Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Pipiri 13 i roto i te Lewiston!”

 

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, i roto i te meka, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

 

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get mau in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “XVII nef.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.
