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

Kite yon kòmantè

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Avril 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England Goumen (Nef) Melanj Martial Arts (Mma) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Joli ti gason” 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’ blag, 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 minwi 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.”

 

Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (6-4) ak Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “Nef 22: Tout wout mennen isit la” 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. Koulye a,, 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. Sepandan, 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.”

 

Nan 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 KAT BATAY

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 10, 2016) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe evènman pwochen li yo, “Nef 22: Tout wout mennen isit la” sou Samdi, Avril 23, 2016 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (Mma) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “nef 22” kat batay. Nick Gulliver (2-0) ap rankontre 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 – yon brezilyen jyu-jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “Nef XVIII Atik,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) nan premye tou an. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (KI MOUN KI) 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. Se konsa,, 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, having gone 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) nan “Nef 21” mwa pase a.

 

“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.”

BOYINGTON AK HARRISON sou Avril 11: Pouvwa se LEJANN

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Fevriye 10, 2015) - Jou lannwit sa a te jen 16, 2012. Over 3,000 fanatik te plen Androscoggin Bank Colisee a pou New England Goumen’ (Nef) “Nef III” melanje-masyal arts- (Mma) evènman. In the main event of the evening was former two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (Ch) Pwa loud chanpyon nan Tim Mondyal la “Maine-IAC la” Sylvia (31-10). Sylvia was competing for the first time ever in his home state of Maine. Media outlets, tou de lokal ak nasyonal, descended on Lewiston that night for the big event. National cable station HDNet (kounye a “BEARINGS AXS televizyon”) voye yon ekipaj fim plen ak pwodiktè yo kouvri pòsyon nan pro nan kat la batay pou pwogram chak semèn yo Anndan mma.

 

12-dezyèm pentch Sylvia a nan Randy Smith (13-15-1), sepandan, was not the story that night. The real story coming out of the event was the emergence of not one, men de, new stars before a national audience. Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-7), deja kenbe pentch a premye-tout tan nan istwa Maine mma, 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. Moman pita, Jamie Harrison (5-1) fini opozan l 'yo ak yon teknik otodòks tè-ak-liv ame “Lobster Punch a” pa Anndan mma ko-lame 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 Avril 11, 2015, “Nef ksvii,” ak yon konfwontasyon ant Boyington ak Harrison, te pave.

 

Nan mwa yo ak ane k ap vini, Boyington would become the face of NEF MMA. Leaving a trail of broken opponents in his wake, Boyington ta ka ale sou pran vid nef mma lejè chanpyona a nan mwa septanm nan 2014 pa bat Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (3-4). Weeks later, Boyington and Erickson would rematch with Boyington once again emerging victorious. Harrison had, tèt li, koupe atravè Tollison Lewis (0-3) ak ensousyan abandone jis moman pi bonè, leading many to speculate that the time for the Boyington-Harrison showdown had finally arrived. In the hours that followed, tou de bò te dakò nan batay la e li te sèn nan fikse pou mwa avril 11, 2015 nan Lewiston nan “Nef ksvii.” Both athletes squared off in the cage last Saturday at “Nef XVI” ofisyèlman anonse bout la ki pral gen yon senk-Rounder pou lejè Chanpyona Boyington a.

 

“Mwen santi m sou tèt nan mond lan,” di Boyington lè jwenn pou fè kòmantè. “Te kraze nan sèvi objektif li ak byenke mwen santi mwen mwen gen fòs tankou yon jwèt ki byen balanse mma, plis batay pwofesyonèl, plis eksperyans ak opozan nivo tèt ak konfò nan sa a tèren – Mwen konnen ke li nan tout paske petinan segondè a ke mwen se sou bò dwat kounye a kounye a epi anprèsman a jwenn nan kalòj la ak pran plezi , ansanm ak yon kondanasyon strik ak tèt mwen NOT pèdi ak amize foul moun yo fè m 'plis konfyans pase tout tan yo jwenn travay la fè. I respect Jamie very much. Li se difisil ak prezante defi ak mwen te gen aklè m 'sou li pou yon tan long, studying him and knowing we would cross paths eventually. Lucky for me, Mwen se yon lanfè nan yon wrèstle. 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, Mwen pral pwouve ke li.”

 

“Mwen trè eksite jwenn tounen nan kalòj la nef pou opòtinite sa a gwo,” remarke 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, zanmi, and fans. This fight will have a lot of fireworks and you will not want to look away for a second.”

 

“Sa yo se de gason alfa yo nan lis la nef,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Lè yo mache nan yon chanm, everyone knows it. But we all know that there can only be one alpha male in the pride. Sou Avril 11 nan Lewiston, nou pral detèmine ki se vre alfa gason an lè de lyon sa yo fè kolizyon.”
