DREAM MATCHES, BELLATOR VETERANS & TITLE FIGHTS TOP NEF 29 CARD FIGHT
Lewiston, מיין (יוני 1, 2017) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) חוזר למכללת בנק אנדרוסקוגין יוני 17 with a fight card featuring both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. מוקדם יותר היום, הקידום הודיע כרטיס מאבק המלא לאירוע. The fight card is subject to approval of the Combat Sports Authority of Maine (CSAM). The boxing portion of the card will begin at 7 בערב שעון ישראל with the MMA card to immediately follow.
In a highly-anticipated “קרב על,” Maine MMA star ברוס “היפיוף” Boyington (14-9 MMA, 1-0 אגרוף) will take on Maine’s premier boxer ראסל “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, ג 'וניור. (15-2, 7 קוס) in a six-round boxing bout. The fight will be a dream match for fans who never expected to see each sports’ top in-state athletes face one another. Boyington and Lamour have both been featured in nationally-televised bouts on NBC and ESPN in recent years. Lamour is the former New England Middleweight Champion, while Boyington held the NEF MMA Lightweight Title until relinquishing it last year to sign with the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) global promotion.
“Bruce and Russell are at the top of their respective games,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Russell is a great boxer, and he’s going to face a superb striker in the form of Taekwondo black belt Bruce Boyington. This is a true dream match for Maine fight fans.”
The professional MMA portion of the fight card will feature the long-awaited return of former NEF MMA Featherweight Champion ריי “כל העסקים” עץ (8-3) as he faces Brazilian prospect אלכסנדר “Butt” Bezerra (19-5). Wood left Maine more than two years ago to re-settle in South Carolina and then Texas. Both Wood and Bezerra are veterans of the Bellator cage with a dozen fights between them for the national promotion.
“When you consider both sides, this is probably the highest-level fight to ever take place in NEF,” אמר NEF בעלים משותף ואמרגן ניק DiSalvo. “This fight could easily be slid into any UFC card on FS1 or Fox and steal the show. Either one of these athletes could get the call up after this fight. Our fans are about to see something special.”
The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a title fight with רפאל “Deez Nuts” Velado (4-0) defending the amateur lightweight championship against Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Famer פט קלי(3-0). At age 52, Kelly will be the oldest fighter to ever challenge for an NEF title.
In addition to the fights, legendary boxer ג'יימס “Buster” דאגלס (38-6-1, 25 קוס) will make an appearance at “NEF 29” as the guest of honor. Douglas will hold an hour-long meet-and-greet with fans at the Colisee from 6 בערב עד 7 pm prior to the opening bell. Longtime fans will remember Douglas as the architect of the greatest upset in professional sports history with his knockout of “ברזל” מייק טייסון (50-6, 44 קוס) ב 1990 to claim the world heavyweight title. Douglas halted the 37-fight undefeated streak that opened Tyson’s pro career.

MAINE GETS ITS OWN VERSION OF MCGREGOR-MAYWEATHER WITH JUNE 17 SUPERFIGHT
לשחרורו מיידי: Lewiston, מיין (מאי 19, 2017) – It was once rare for two athletes from different combat sports disciplines to compete against one another. ב 1963, legendary catch wrestler and judo practitioner Gene Lebell took on journeyman boxer Milo Savage in a match credited as the grandfather of modern mixed-martial-arts (MMA). מאוחר יותר, ב 1976, boxing world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali faced Japanese wrestler and martial artist Antonio Inoki in an exhibition bout in Tokyo broadcast globally on closed-circuit television, a precursor to pay-per-view.
Recent years have seen more and more MMA fighters and boxers transition between the two sports. For some time now, rumors have swirled over a potential meeting of boxing mega-star Floyd Mayweather and reigning UFC lightweight kingpin Conor McGregor. Should the bout happen, it will undoubtedly be one of the highest-ever grossing matchups financially. And while both sides work out the details for that contest, Maine fight fans will get their own superfight on Saturday, יוני 17 in Lewiston when ראסל “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, ג 'וניור. (15-2, 7 קוס – boxing record) פוגש ברוס “היפיוף” Boyington (14-9 – שיא MMA) in a six-round middleweight boxing match. It will be the boxing headliner of a hybrid MMA and boxing event presented by New England Fights (NEF) at the venerable Androscoggin Bank Colisee.
It is not that boxers and MMA fighters have never met each other in Maine in the past. They do often in NEF, which promotes both sports. What makes this a “superfight” is the status of each athlete in the state. ואכן, Lamour and Boyington are to the current local fight scene what Mayweather and McGregor are to the global scene. They are both mega-stars in-state, each with his own army of loyal fans.
“With all the talk of McGregor versus Mayweather, it’s an interesting match,” said Lamour’s coach and head of the Portland Boxing Club Bob Russo. “One of the best middleweights in New England in boxing versus one of the best lightweights in New England in MMA . I was pleasantly surprised when we were called out by Boyington. We had been offered a few different opponents that we agreed to and I guess they had second thoughts. Then we got the call that this challenge was on the table. This is something that will create a real buzz among boxing and MMA fans.”
Lamour is the face of present-day professional boxing in Maine. He won more than 100 amateur bouts and is an eight-time regional Golden Gloves champion, a five-time New England regional champion and a Bronze Medalist in the 2009 USA Boxing championships among numerous other accomplishments. Lamour competed in the semi-pro World Series of Boxing where he was ranked number-one in the North American middleweight conference. כאיש מקצוע, Lamour has been outstanding. He captured the New England Middleweight Title in 2014. Lamour has competed on ESPN’s יום שישי קרבות הלילה boxing series before a national audience.
“I will fight anyone that ends up in front of me,” said Lamour. “I respect the MMA fighters, they are all tough guys, but to challenge in the boxing ring is a major mistake. I’ll be in great shape and ready. He better be too!”
ברוס Boyington, ותיק של חיל הנחתים האמריקאים (USMC), is no stranger to the boxing ring. He won his professional boxing debut in 2014 on an NEF card. Boyington is a world-class striker. He is a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo, an eight-time Maine state champion and a two-time national champion with countless tournament championships and medals to his credit in the traditional martial art.
It is Boyington’s success in the MMA cage, עם זאת, for which he is most well known. His flashy striking and knockout prowess earned him a reputation as the “human highlight-reel” of NEF. He captured the NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Title in 2014 and defended it successfully three times before relinquishing the belt to sign with the global World Series of Fighting (WSOF) promotion in 2016.
Since signing with WSOF, Boyington has fought on some of the largest stages the world has to offer, including Madison Square Garden in New York City on the undercard of an event broadcast nationally on NBC. He has traveled as far as Russia to fight for major international promotion Absolute Championship Berkut (ACB). With WSOF taking some time to regroup under new ownership as the “ליגת לוחמים מקצועית,” Boyington was looking to stay active while awaiting his next national bout. The opportunity to fight in front of his many hometown fans one more time was irresistible.
“Boxing is his game, but I’ve had 25 professional fights and over 100 Taekwondo fights in my time,” סעיד Boyington. “I’m excited and honored to share the ring with the best boxing has to offer. The only thing I’m ever after is a challenge, and I have one in Russell. It’s exciting to compete back home where it all essentially began for me with NEF, so I thank Matt (פיטרסון, NEF co-owner) and Nick (DiSalvo, NEF co-owner) for the opportunity and to Russell – let’s dance baby!”

THE FIGHTING FIREMAN WILL MAKE NEF DEBUT ON JUNE 17
לשחרורו מיידי: Lewiston, מיין (מאי 16, 2017) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) חוזר למכללת בנק אנדרוסקוגין יום שבת, יוני 17, 2017with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. מוקדם יותר היום, NEF announced the addition of a professional boxing bout to the fight card. ג'ייסון “The Fighting Fireman” Quirk חוזר לזירה נגד Borngod Washington בהתקף בינוני סופר ארבעה-עגול.
The fight will represent the first appearance for Quirk in the NEF boxing ring. אחרי קריירה חובבנית כוכבית, Quirk turned pro in late 2014. He has been perfect (5-0, 3 קוס) over the course of his pro career thus far. When Quirk steps into the ring onיוני 17, it will have been more than a year-and-a-half since his last fight, and he is looking forward to competing once again. He trains out of the Portland Boxing Club (נכסים ובניין) and works as a firefighter with the Portland Fire Department – Local 740 IAFF. Quirk also served his country for four years as a member of the Coast Guard.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring and getting to work,” said Quirk immediately following a training session at PBC. “We’ve had a good camp so far, and I’m training hard for this fight. I’m grateful for NEF considering me for this card and I’m ready to put on a show.”
Borngod Washington is about as seasoned of a veteran as one will find in the boxing world. The native of Queens, New York has fought in the pro ranks since 2007. Washington’s career highlight came in 2011 when he scored a fourth-round TKO victory over Ricky Dawson (4-1, 1 KO), brother of former light-heavyweight champion of the world Chad Dawson (34-5, 19 קוס). Washington also took current light-heavyweight contender Sean Monaghan (28-0, 17 קוס) the distance in a four-round bout, losing a majority decision on the judges’ כרטיסי ניקוד. He currently trains with John Wesley Meekins (25-5-2, 17 קוס) בניו - יורק. Meekins challenged Meldrick Taylor (38-8-1, 20 קוס) for the IBF Junior Welterweight Title in 1989.
“I’m excited to come to Maine and fight with my new trainer John Wesley Meekins in my corner,” אמרה וושינגטון. “I’m returning to form and ready to go, and I thank NEF for the opportunity to fight in Maine. I’ve got people from different areas coming to see the fight, and I know I’ll be ready”.

KRAMLICH LOOKING TO PUT ON A SHOW FOR HOMETOWN FANS ON JUNE 17
לשחרורו מיידי: Lewiston, מיין (מאי 15, 2017) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, יוני 17, 2017with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. מוקדם יותר היום, NEF announced the addition of a professional boxing bout to the fight card. קייסי “Buzzsaw” Kramlich (7-0-1, 3 קוס), a native of nearby Gray, מיין, will take on Bryan Goldsby (4-3) in a super welterweight match scheduled for four rounds.
Kramlich is coming off the biggest win of his young career. Last month in Rhode Island, Kramlich handed Ray Oliveira, ג 'וניור. (7-1, 1 KO), son of former world title challenger Ray Oliveira, SR. (47-11-2, 22 קוס), his first loss. The majority decision victory was considered somewhat of an upset in that Kramlich had traveled to Oliveira, Jr.’s turf and spoiled the local prospect’s win streak.
Now back in Maine and training with the Portland Boxing Club, Kramlich is looking forward to once again competing before his hometown fans. He is a two-fight veteran of the NEF ring with two TKO wins to his credit in Lewiston.
“I’m really looking forward to fighting back in Maine and on an NEF card,” said Kramlich. “I always love to put on a good show for the home town fans and that’s exactly what your gonna get June 17th. Goldsby seems like a seasoned veteran with good experience, but come fight night, he’s in the ring with a young hungry lion. I’ll be ready for war.”
ו, אל תטעו אותו, Bryan Goldsby will give Kramlich a war on June 17. A native of Macon, גאורגיה, Goldsby will be right at home fighting next to an MMA cage. He holds a record of 17-16 as a professional mixed-martial-artist. למעשה, Goldsby is a four-fight veteran of the Bellator cage and even competed in the promotion’s Season Three bantamweight tournament. Goldsby has had success transitioning to the boxing ring. He won four of his first five bouts via decision before dropping his last two.
