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

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Lewiston, Maine (April 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England Fights (NEF) Mixed Martial Arts (Plaasmoorde) 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’ grap, 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 middernag 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,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor 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 “Die Viking” Erickson (6-4) en Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: Alle paaie lei HIER” 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,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en Match 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. Nou, 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. Egter, 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.”

 

Die 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!”

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Stryd kaart

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 10, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 22: Alle paaie lei HIER” op Saterdag, April 23, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” stryd kaart. Nick Gulliver (2-0) sal voldoen 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 – 'n Brasiliaanse Jiu Jitsu- (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) in die eerste ronde. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WIE) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd 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 April 23rd, 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. So, for three rounds on April 23rd, 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, gegaan het 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. Like 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) by “NEF 21” verlede maand.

 

“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.”

Sam has been at the national level for a long time. He’s probably one of the top-five most experienced people in this country working at the highest stage of MMA event promotion. He is a major asset to our company. We are extremely fortunate to have him with us.”

In a short time, Matt en Nick het 'n wonderlike werk groeiende NEF op 'n punt waar dit konsekwent plaas 3000-plus ondersteuners in die sitplekke vir sy gebeure gedoen. I also believe that NEF hasn’t even yet scratched the surface with regard to its growth and CSM looks forward to playing a role in the promotion’s evolution.”

 

This will not be the first time Caplan has worked with NEF. Caplan worked on a co-promotion NEF undertook with Bellator in March 2013.

BOYINGTON en Harrison April 11: KRAG IS LEGEND

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Februarie 10, 2015) - Die nag was Junie 16, 2012. Over 3,000 aanhangers het die Androscoggin Bank Colisee gevul vir New England Fights’ (NEF) “NEF III” gemengde martial arts- (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis. In the main event of the evening was former two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Swaargewig Kampioen van die Wêreld Tim “Die Maine-iac” Sylvia (31-10). Sylvia was competing for the first time ever in his home state of Maine. Media outlets, beide plaaslike en nasionale, descended on Lewiston that night for the big event. National cable station HDNet (nou “AXS TV”) het 'n volle film bemanning en produsent die pro gedeelte van die stryd kaart vir hul weeklikse program te dek Binne MMA.

 

Sylvia se 12-sekonde uitklophou van Randy Smith (13-15-1), egter, was not the story that night. The real story coming out of the event was the emergence of not one, maar twee, new stars before a national audience. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-7), wat reeds die eerste-ooit uitklophou in Maine MMA geskiedenis, added to his legend with a Taekwondo spinning-hook kick that left his opponent unconscious and earned Boyington the quickest knockout in NEF at the time at 10-seconds. Oomblikke later, Jamie Harrison (5-1) klaar sy teenstander met 'n onortodokse grond-en-pond tegniek genoem “Die Lobster Punch” deur Binne MMA mede-gasheer Bas Rutten (28-4-1). Both finishes were caught on camera by AXS TV, and both were seen by fight fans the world over on television and the internet. The road to April 11, 2015, “NEF Sewentien,” en 'n konfrontasie tussen Boyington en Harrison, was gebaan.

 

In die maande en jare om te kom, Boyington would become the face of NEF MMA. Leaving a trail of broken opponents in his wake, Boyington sal gaan oor die vakante NEF MMA Liggewig Championship te vang in September 2014 deur die verslaan van Isai “Die Viking” Erickson (3-4). Weeks later, Boyington and Erickson would rematch with Boyington once again emerging victorious. Harrison had, homself, sny deur Tollison Lewis (0-3) met roekelose laat vaar net oomblikke vroeër, leading many to speculate that the time for the Boyington-Harrison showdown had finally arrived. In the hours that followed, beide kante van die stryd het ingestem en die stadium is ingestel vir April 11, 2015 in Lewiston by “NEF XVII.” Both athletes squared off in the cage last Saturday at “NEF XVI” amptelik bekend gemaak dat die bout wat 'n vyf-rounder vir Boyington is liggewig Championship wees.

 

“Ek voel op die top van die wêreld,” gesê Boyington wanneer vir kommentaar bereik. “Die onderbreking het sy doel gedien en hoewel ek voel ek het sterk soos 'n goed-afgeronde MMA spel, meer professionele gevegte, meer ondervinding met top vlak teenstanders en troos in hierdie arena – Ek weet dat dit al irrelevant omdat die hoë dat ek op die oomblik reg nou en die gretigheid om te kry in die hok en het baie pret , saam met 'n streng oortuiging met myself NOT om te verloor, en die skare te vermaak maak my meer oortuig as ooit om die werk gedoen te kry. I respect Jamie very much. Hy is taai en bied uitdagings en ek het my visier op hom vir 'n lang tyd, studying him and knowing we would cross paths eventually. Lucky for me, Ek is 'n hel van 'n stoeier. I see what’s coming. Fans, this fight is unlike anything else you will ever see. Make sure you’re in attendance to witness what I’m about to do. I have no problem proving the critics wrong. Just be there and don’t blink. This is a big stage fight, Ek sal dit bewys.”

 

“Ek is baie opgewonde om terug te kry in die NEF hok vir hierdie groot geleentheid,” opgemerk Harrison. “Bruce is on a hot streak and so am I. The title belt around my waist has been a long time coming and it will be bittersweet to do it in front of all my family, vriende, and fans. This fight will have a lot of fireworks and you will not want to look away for a second.”

 

“Dit is die twee alfa mans van die NEF rooster,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Wanneer hulle in 'n kamer loop, everyone knows it. But we all know that there can only be one alpha male in the pride. Op April 11 in Lewiston, ons sal bepaal wat die ware alfa mannetjie wanneer hierdie twee leeus bots.”
