Lewiston, Maine (Márta 10, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Beidh meascán de na healaíona comhraic measctha ar an gcárta troid (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. Nick Gulliver (2-0) le chéile Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – a Brasaíle Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) sa chéad bhabhta. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on 23 Aibreán will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on 23 Aibreán, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Mar sin,, for three rounds on 23 Aibreán, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, tar éis dul 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Cosúil Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) ag “NEF 21” an mhí seo caite.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

WOMEN’S MMA FIGHT CONFIRMED FOR NEF 22 I LEWISTON

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Márta 8, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Beidh meascán de na healaíona comhraic measctha ar an gcárta troid (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women’s featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0) Beidh cath Angela Óga (0-1) at a fight weight of 140-pounds.

 

Hannah Sparrell was introduced to the sport when she began taking her daughter to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes. Sparrell soon found herself training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. She made her in-cage debut last fall against Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-1) ag “NEF XIX” i Lewiston. Sparrell was victorious that evening, scoring a unanimous decision from the judges after an exhausting three-round fight. She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time at “NEF 22.”

 

“I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, ar 23 Aibreán, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ Sin á rá, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.”

 

Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “NEF XIX.” In a wild, “fight of the night” performance, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ scórchártaí, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. Ar 23 Aibreán, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.

 

“I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” luaite Óga. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ An uair seo, áfach, my hand will be raised.”

FIGHTERS HOPE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE CAGE AT NEF 22

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Márta 4, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Beidh meascán de na healaíona comhraic measctha ar an gcárta troid (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (2-1) le chéile Josh “Hook Ar” Harvey (0-0) ag troid meáchan de 150-punt.

 

Lewiston’s Matt Denning is coming off the first loss of his professional career this past November against Jon Lemke (5-4). Prior to that defeat, Denning was riding a four-fight win streak, all four of those wins coming by way of submission. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Denning acknowledges personal issues have existed in the past between he and Harvey, culminating in a cageside confrontation between the two athletes at the close of “NEF XV” in the fall of 2014.

 

“I’m honored to have been asked specifically for this fight,” Dúirt Denning. “Josh is the 155 ammy champ and is an amazing fighter. I’m excited to watch him continue his career as a pro and move up to the top of the professional rankings. We had some personal issues between the two of us because of a poor decision I made, and I hope with us fighting it will clear the air and I’ll be able to cross train with him and Young’s MMA. We gotta give the fans what they want and this is what they wanted. I look forward to seeing everyone April 23rd.”

 

The bout will indeed be the professional debut for Harvey after an amateur career in which he went 5-1. He is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, a title which he will now vacate as a professional. Harvey capped off his amateur stint with a highlight reel knockout over Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-4), a victory that solidified his position as the northeast region’s top-ranked amateur lightweight. Harvey is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. He recently signed a long-term NEF developmental deal.

 

“I’m feeling blessed to be a signed professional cage fighter,” Said Harvey. “I’m one step closer to my goal and 23 Aibreán I’ll take another. I’ve wanted a chance to fight ‘Ken Doll’ ever since I met him – he is just one of those guys. I’m thankful for the opportunity.”

 

“One thing is very clear in this matchup – Josh and Matt don’t like each other,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “There is some deep, pent-up frustration that has been percolating between these two for a long time – and on April 23rd, the cork comes out. It’s going to be spectacular.”

CAPE COD GETS ITS FIRST MMA CAGEFIGHTING EVENT; BATTLES & LAMONTE TO MAKE PRO DEBUTS

Leave a comment

Both professional and amateur MMA bouts will be presented that evening.

 

Go dtí seo, NEF has held twenty-two events, a mix of MMA and boxing shows, in the state of Maine. The promotion was formed in 2012 by business partners Nick DiSalvo and Matt Peterson. NEF has a reputation of putting on action-packed events in venues filled with thousands of rabid fight fans. The promotion has a large, dedicated fan base unmatched by any of its competitors on the regional level. Thar na blianta, NEF’s cage has played host to UFC veterans such as Marcus Davis (22-11) and two-time UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia (31-10), i measc daoine eile. NEF co-promoted a nationally-televised event with Bellator in the spring of 2013. Its fight highlights have been featured prominently on AXS TV, TUFF TV and the “World’s Greatest Knockouts” ar Spike teilifís.

 

“The NEF brand is expanding,” noted DiSalvo. “Cape Cod is hungry for an MMA event. I’m surprised it’s taken this long to happen with so many great teams located in the area. NEF is honored to be the first to present an MMA show on the Cape.”

 

One MMA team whose fighters will be featured prominently on the Bealtaine 14 card will be Hyannis-based Team Juniko.

 

“This show will be the first MMA show on Cape Cod in Team Juniko’s backyard,” remarked Team Juniko coach Mike Gresh. “Congrats NEF!”

 

Gresh is a longtime, respected leader in the New England MMA community. Two of his team’s members have been confirmed as making their professional debuts on Bealtaine 14 – Erin “Méid Spraoi” Lamonte and Brendan “Lockdown” Battles.

 

Scituate’s Erin Lamonte put together a perfect 6-0 record as an amateur competitor. She is coming off back-to-back submission victories in Lewiston, Maine.

 

“I cannot wait for NEF to come to the Cape,” exclaimed Lamonte. “All but one of my fights have been out of state, so I am so excited to fight in front of all my family and friends in my own backyard! Ná caill é. May 14th ‘Fun Size’ goes pro and makes her presence known in the women’s straweight division!”

 

Brendan Battles is a native of nearby Eastham, Massachusetts where he was a three-time All-American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. Battles won two state championships and three New England regional championships while amassing a total of 161 wins over the course of his high school wrestling career. Níos déanaí, Battles played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut.

 

“It’s an honor to fight down the street from my hometown and the gym where I train,” said Battles. “It gives me the chills to fight my very first professional fight on my home turf, with my family, cairde, and all who supports me to see the work I’ve put in and the fighter I have evolved into at this point of my career.”

 

"NEF 23: NEF CAGES THE CAPE,"Ar siúl Dé Sathairn, Bealtaine 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Tickets for “NEF 23” are $40 maidir le ligean isteach i gcoitinne agus $60 for cageside. They are on sale now at www.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/ .

SECOND PRO BOXING BOUT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 22

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Feabhra 25, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Beidh meascán de na healaíona comhraic measctha ar an gcárta troid (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the addition of a light-heavyweight contest to the boxing portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) sceidealta chun aghaidh Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 Kos) i bout ceithre bhabhta.

 

Crowsneck Boutin, a regular on NEF MMA cards since 2012, made his professional boxing debut earlier this month on the “NEF 21” event in Lewiston. He fought Joel Bishop (0-0-2) to a draw in an exciting slugfest that had the Colisée crowd on the edge of its collective seat. Boutin, considered the underdog in that bout, expertly worked his jab to control the first two rounds of the fight. Like the Bishop match, Boutin is preparing for another war with Montella on Aibreán 23.

 

“Brandon is a very tough opponent,” Dúirt Boutin. “He’s going to present me with many obstacles. My training is grueling and I’ll be prepared for a war.”

 

Brandon Montella is a 1998 graduate of Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine. Following graduation, Montella joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and served until 2003 with an honorable discharge. Montella worked in construction in Virginia until 2011 when he moved with his wife to the Boston, Massachusetts area. He owns and operates The Way, LLC boxing gym in Woburn, Massachusetts.

 

“Coming back home from to Maine after all these years to fight in a place of such history is an amazing feeling,” said Montella. “It will bring my friends and family from the past and the present together under one roof for an awesome event.”

 

Montella had a very successful amateur boxing career with a final record of 14-7. I 2011, he won the prestigious Rocky Marciano Tournament. Montella went on to win the New England Golden Gloves the following year. Chas sé pro i 2015 and has won his first three bouts with two finishes.

 

“As far as my opponent Crowsneck Boutin, I have seen his fights and read his back story,” Montella continued. “What I see is a man like myself – someone who is determined to change his life and take matters into his own hands instead of sitting around like too many men do today. When two men as determined as we are get in the ring in front of a large crowd, magic happens. We grow larger than life and the fans get one hell of a treat.”

BOXING HEADLINER ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 22

Leave a comment

NEF22_FB_Timeline01

Lewiston, Maine (Feabhra 22, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 22, 2016ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Beidh meascán de na healaíona comhraic measctha ar an gcárta troid (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the main event of the boxing portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. Curadh Sóisear Meáchan Welter Sóisearach Brandon “An Cannon” Berry (11-1, 7 Kos) a ghlacadh ar James Lester (10-9, 4 Kos) in a non-title, six-round bout at 140-pounds.

 

Berry, the pride of small-town West Forks, Maine, has shined since returning from a shoulder injury last year. He has won his last three in a row, including a technical knockout (WHO) stoppage of Tollison Lewis (2-1, 1 KO) earlier this month in Lewiston. The upcoming fight with Lester will see Berry return to his native 140-pound junior welterweight division for the first time since his injury. All three of his recent wins have come in the heavier welterweight and super welterweight divisions.

 

“23 Aibreán will be a big turning point in my boxing career,” said Berry when reached for comment. “This will be my fourth time headlining NEF’s boxing portion of the event, and I want to thank Nick (DiSalvo, NEF promoter), Matt (Peterson, NEF matchmaker) and Pete (Czymbor, NEF Director of Boxing Operations) for the opportunity. I asked for a challenge and to make it back down to my regular fight weight of 140-pounds, and that’s what I’m getting with Detroit’s James Lester. I think the crowd will be very happy and impressed with the talent level James brings. This is a big test for me and I hope that with nine weeks to prepare it’s a test that I can pass. He brings so much to the table that can give me problems in the ring, so me showing up anything less than 100% will be unacceptable.

 

“I know that Tommy (Duquette), Ed (LaVache), Luke (Yetten) and the rest of Boston Boxing will push me to the limit and bring me into the ring prepared. James Lester has been around and fought some very good fighters. He had an amazing amateur career, and has spent years training at one of the most legendary boxing facility’s in the world, the Kronk Gym. Who doesn’t want to see this fight? See you all 23 Aibreán, and as always thank you all so much for the amazing support. The tickets sales are unreal.”

 

As Berry noted, James Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym of Detroit, Michigan. It was there he honed his craft alongside world champions like Thomas “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Kos), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Kos), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Kos) agus Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos), a ainm a lua, under legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. Mar amaitéarach, Lester was ranked nationally at number-two. He competed against the likes of future Olympian Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 Kos) and future WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell (28-1-1, 22 Kos) while in the amateur ranks. The bout with Berry will mark the second time Lester has ventured to New England in his professional career. He competed on a card in Worcester, Massachusetts in 2011. Lester looks forward to making his return to the region.

 

“Fighting Brandon will be exciting, and I’m ready for anything he has to bring,” said Lester. “Fighting in New England was awesome a few years ago against Ryan Kielczewski (24-1, 7 Kos). I met some real good people there and can’t wait to come put on a show for them again.”

In the MMA main event of the evening, in what can only be described as a “thriller,” Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (13-8) defeated Jon Lemke (5-4) via split decision to retain the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title. Boyington and Lemke battled back-and-forth for five brutal rounds in what many in attendance were calling one of the best fights in NEF history.

 

In the boxing headliner, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “An Cannon” Berry (11-1) handed Tollison Lewis the first loss of his professional boxing career (2-1) with a second-round stoppage via technical knockout (WHO).

 

On the amateur MMA portion of the card, three inaugural champions were crowned. Ryan Glover (3-1) took home the light heavyweight title after defeating Mike Williams (1-1), while Johnny Crafts (4-0) captured the bantamweight strap and Ricky Dexter (5-2) won the welterweight championship.

 

NEF also announced that its next event would take place on Aibreán 23, 2016, once again at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston.

GLOVER AGUS WILLIAMS A DHÉANAMH FAOI CHOINNE ÓR NEF

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Feabhra 1, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, "NEF 21: NA IMBHÁLACHA” seo Dé Sathairn, Feabhra 6, 2016 ag an Colisee Androscoggin Bank i Lewiston, Maine. Tá an cárta troid sceidealta le bheith ina ghné de na healaíona comhraic measctha (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, D'fhógair an t-ardú céime go gcuirfí bout craobhchomórtais éadrom amaitéarach leis an gcárta. Ryan Glover (2-1) aghaidh a thabhairt ar Mike Williams (1-0) don teideal tosaigh amaitéarach NEF 205-punt.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Bhí Ryan Glover ina lúthchleasaí dé-spórt den scoth ag Mountain Valley High School i Rumford, Maine. A wrestler curadh stáit, Rinne Glover a mharc is mó ar an bpáirc peile nuair a d’ainmnigh Lewiston Sun Journal é mar “Imreoir Peile na Bliana” i 2010.

 

An bhliain seo caite, Thug Glover aghaidh ar Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) do chraobh amaitéarach trommheáchain NEF. Chaill Glover cinneadh dlúth i spreagúil, comórtas fisiciúil crua-bhuail. Anois, níos tapúla agus níos aclaí ag meáchan níos ísle, Tá rún ag Glover ór NEF a bhaint amach ar deireadh.

 

“Ní raibh an meáchan gearrtha spraíúil, ach tá sé imithe níos éasca ná mar a ceapadh,” a dúirt Glover, nuair a fiafraíodh de faoin laghdú a rinne sé go 205-punt. “Mothaím i bhfad níos fearr agus mé ag druidim 205 agus sílim gur mhaith liom troid faoin meáchan seo. Beidh sé searbh an crios a choinneáil ag 205. Chaill mé slugadh gar i mí an Mheithimh seo caite toisc nár chloígh mé lenár bplean cluiche. Thit mé an liathróid an oíche sin agus is féidir leat a bheith cinnte nach dtarlóidh sé sin arís. Tá súil agam go bhfuil Williams tar éis a bheith ag traenáil chomh dian agus a bhí agam, mar gheall ar, más ea, beidh sé ina troid nach bhfuil aon duine ag iarraidh a chailleann. Feicfidh mé 6 Feabhra thú agus ná bí déanach - is seó é seo is fiú a thaisteal 1000 míle."

 

Thóg Mike Williams gasp comhchoiteann amach as an Androscoggin Bank Colisee nuair a tháinig sé amach gunnaí ag lasadh ina chéad uair ag “NEF XX: STAIR AN Fhoréigin” Samhain seo caite. Williams, Jiu Jitsu Brasaíleach (BJJ) crios gorm agus ball de Lár na Brasaíle Maine Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) i Auburn, blas a chur ar a chomh-núíosach Joe Krech (0-1) amach as an ngeata sular éirigh leis armbar troid a fháil i 26 soicind iontacha isteach sa chéad bhabhta. Ba leor an tús dornálaíochta chun urchar ór NEF a thuilleamh do Williams óg iontach.

 

“Níl sa troid seo ach céim eile agus tá sé ar an mbealach,” a dúirt Williams go réidh nuair a iarradh trácht air.

 

“Ubh Cháisc eile í seo de troid ar chárta lán réalta atá le seachadadh ar feadh na hoíche ar fad,"A dúirt NEF comh-úinéir agus matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Nuair a fhéachaim ar an troid seo agus ar na scileanna a thugann Ryan agus Mike chuig an gcliabhán, Faighim bumps gé. Tá an dá Lúthchleas Gael, ionsaitheach, guys óga agus ocras atá ag iarraidh cinnirí a iompú nuair a bheidh siad san iomaíocht - agus a stopadh ag aon rud a bhuachan. Bunaithe ar a bhfuil feicthe agam ina gcuid troideanna go dtí seo, Ní fheicim unsa scortha i gceachtar trodaire. Ní féidir liom fanacht chun féachaint ar an mbealach a théann an ceann seo síos ar an Satharn."

SIZE AND POWER MEET TECHNIQUE IN NEF 21 BOXING MAIN EVENT

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Eanáir 5, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 21: Immortals” ar Dé Sathairn, Feabhra 6, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. Tá an cárta comhraic sceidealta le bheith ina ghné de na healaíona comhraic measctha (MMA) agus babhtaí dornálaíochta gairmiúla. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the main event of the professional boxing portion of the “NEF 21” cárta troid. Curadh Sóisear Meáchan Welter Sóisearach Brandon “An Cannon” Berry (10-1) will take on the undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a super welterweight contest scheduled for six rounds.

 

“This is a classic battle of size and strength against technique,” a dúirt comhúinéir agus tionscnóir NEF Nick DiSalvo. “In one corner you have a polished boxer with a solid amateur background in the form of Brandon Berry, and he will be fighting in a heavier weight class in this bout. In the other corner you have a powerful brawler with an MMA background in the form of Tollison Lewis, and he has fought most of his career at 155 and 170-pounds. You can’t script a better contrast in styles for a bout like this. Just about anything could happen. It’s anyone’s fight. It’s going to be wild in the Colisee when this one goes off.”

 

Berry is coming off what many consider to be the defining win of his still-young professional career over gritty Mexican veteran Roberto Valenzuela (73-70-2) last November at “NEF XX.” Despite suffering a bad cut above his eye early in the fight, Berry maintained his composure and looked sharp on his way to a unanimous decision victory in the first eight-round fight of his career. The West Forks, Maine native was a 2013 Northern New England Golden Gloves champion as an amateur. The fight with Lewis is expected to be the last Berry will compete in above his usual 140-pound junior welterweight division.

 

“It’s great to be getting back in action inside the ring so soon, especially after suffering such a nasty cut over my eye from my last fight in November,” said Berry. “Thank you NEF for putting yet another very tough opponent in front of me. Tollison is a class act in and out of the ring, and I think our styles will make a crowd pleasing bout. I remember being undefeated still and I know how important keeping the ‘0’ on the record is. Tollison is a big, strong athlete and I’m sure he will be more than prepared. Both him and I understand competition, and will most likely be friends after this event. I’m glad to be sharing this main event fight with him, and may the best man win!”

 

Tollison Lewis’s foray into the boxing world was unplanned. I mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2014, just 24-hours prior to the start of the first “NEF Boxing” imeacht, Lewis stepped in to face boxing veteran John Webster (8-7-1) after Webster’s previous opponent fell out. NEF executives, familiar with Lewis’s striking prowess in his MMA bouts, asked Lewis to take the fight at the last minute and Lewis did not hesitate to oblige. He went on to bully Webster for four rounds, (including knocking Webster out of the ring onto the timekeeper’s table), scoring a unanimous decision victory. This past November, in yet another dominant performance in the NEF boxing ring, Lewis stopped Zenon Herrera (0-1) with a third-round TKO. A win over a boxer of Berry’s caliber, aon amhras, would propel Lewis to the next level in the sport. Lewis is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Lewiston where he trains under boxing coach Scott Frost.

 

“Brandon is a tough guy and a good boxer,” Said Lewis. “I’m expecting a war. I’ll be bringing everything I got, and I know he will too, but I’m planning on staying undefeated. I’m not going to run my mouth. I have a lot of respect for Berry, but fans do not want to miss this. This fight will be a war and steal the night. Thank you NEF and Brandon, let’s do it man!”
