Efterlad en kommentar

Portland, Maine (April 28, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) vendte tilbage til Aura i Portland lørdag aften med sin seneste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 38: STORMBORN.”  Arrangementet var en hyldest til HBO-serienGame of Thrones komplet med ring piger påklædt som den “Dragers Moder” Daenerys Targaryen og Sansa Stark, samt en cellospiller, der åbner arrangementet med musik fra hitshowets soundtrack. En kapacitetsskare på over 1100 var klar til handlingen.

I main event, Ras Hylton (4-2) besejrede Charles Penn (0-1) i en sværvægtskonkurrence. Ringsidelægen stoppede kampen i første runde, da et snit i Penns pande ikke kunne lukkes. Hylton landede en perfekt placeret lige højre hånd, der åbnede flængen på Penns hoved og efterlod blodet til at løbe ned på måtten i en grufuld strøm af karmosinrødt.

Caleb Hall (3-0) forblev ubesejret for at starte sin professionelle karriere med sin tredje sejr i træk. Hall indsendte svend Jay Ellis (15-86) i første runde af aftenens co-main event.

På amatørdelen af ​​kampkortet, fire titler var på spil.

I aftenens første mesterskabskamp, Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) erobrede den ledige NEF Amatør fjervægtsrem med en enstemmig beslutningssejr over Zac Richard (3-1-1).  Ved at gøre det, Pagliarulo, en indfødt i Haverhill, Massachusetts, gav Richard det første tab i karrieren.

Duncan Smith (5-3) forsvarede NEF Amateur Welterweight titel mod Jon Tefft (2-1).  Efter fem hårdt kæmpende runder, Smith blev erklæret som vinder på alle tre dommere’ scorekort. Det var en god aften for Smiths team af Evolution Athletix. Saco, Maine-baserede hold gik 4-0 om aftenen med Smiths holdkammerater Adina Beaudry (3-0), Keegan Hornstra (4-11), og Megan Rosado (1-1) alle henter vinder.

Taylor Thompson (4-0) lavede kort værk af Michigans Andrea Howland (2-1) at blive den første nogensinde NEF Women's Amateur Bantamweight Champion. Thompson sendte Howland i første runde med en armbar. Kampen blev bragt til Portland af NEF i samarbejde med Queen MMA Media.

I den fjerde, og endelig, mesterskabskamp på amatørkortet, Kam Arnold (5-0) holdt sin knockout-række i live med en nedrykning af Henry Clark i første runde (5-5).  Det var den femte knockout i træk for Arnold, der beholdt amatørbæltet i bantamvægt.

Kamppromoveringen annoncerede også flere kampe for sin længe ventede tilbagevenden til Lewiston i juni 22 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Arrangementet har titlen “NEF 39: ALLAMERICAN.”

Hjembyens favorit Jesse Erickson (9-7) vil tage imod Lewis Corapi (8-5) den aften i en letvægtskonkurrence. Erickson er en grundpille i NEF-buret og en evig topkandidat til promoveringens professionelle titel på 155 pund. Massachusetts’ Corapi er en erfaren veteran fra New England MMA-kredsløbet, fik endelig sin NEF-debut den 22. juni.

Josh Harvey (6-0-1) meddelte, at han ville vende tilbage til buret kl “NEF 39” at tage imod Jordan Downey (5-4) fra Fort Wayne, Indiana. Harvey vil forsvare NEF Pro Featherweight-titlen den aften på udkig efter sit første succesfulde forsvar, siden han erobrede bæltet i februar sidste år i Bangor. Downey er på sejrsrække i to kampe.

Nate Boucher (4-3) vil tage imod Robert Presley (5-4) for den ledige NEF-amatør-fluevægtstitel. Boucher har afsluttet sine sidste to modstandere i første runde for at flytte sig tilbage til kamp om endnu et skud på 125-pund-bæltet. Presley repræsenterer Lancaster Academy of MMA i Lancaster, Ohio.

I et højtideligt øjeblik for at åbne begivenheden, NEF hyldede den mangeårige medarbejder Casey Main med en ti-klokkes hilsen. Wiscasset, Indbygger i Maine døde uventet i slutningen af ​​sidste uge. Kampagnen dedikerede begivenheden til hans minde.

HORNSTRA AND HERRERA SPOILIN’ FOR A FIGHT AT NEF 38

Efterlad en kommentar

Portland, Maine (Februar 27, 2019) – New England Fights (NEF) vil præsentere sin næste blandede kampsport (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” april 27, 2019 ved Aura i Portland. Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. Keegan “The Flu” Hornstra vil tage på Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera ved en kamp vægt på 155-pounds.

Hornstra, who fought on the first three NEF cards in 2012, has not competed in the promotion’s cage in nearly seven years. A veteran of more than 20 MMA bouts over the course of his amateur and professional careers, Hornstra is 3-3 over the course of his last six with all three wins being finishes. He last competed on a card in Massachusetts in November 2016. Hornstra currently represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’m excited to be back in the NEF cage,” said Hornstra, “it’s been about seven years since my last outing in Maine. I’m fighting one of the NEF regulars in Zenon, the guy is super tough and I don’t think he’s ever said no to anyone. He’s coming off a dominant win and has found areas of success against some of NEF’s bigger names. I’m going to get in and put him out quickly and move on to the next.”

After several attempts in the NEF cage, Zenon Herrera finally picked up his first win as a professional at “NEF 32” last year with a unanimous decision victory over Nate Charles. He returned to the cage later in the year in a losing effort to Ernesto Ornelas. Herrera will look to bounce back from that loss on April 27 against Hornstra. He is a member of Team Smog.

“Everything I’ve seen thus far leads me to believe that this is going to be a great and tough match,” said Herrera. “I’ve had that moment of the glory that comes with getting my hand raised in victory and will strive to get it back. As for Keegan, he’s one of those guys who brings his best every time he comes out, and I know this match will be no different. I guess all I can really say is don’t look away once it starts, I have a feeling this one’s gonna end with a bang.”

BOYINGTON TRIUMPHANT IN RETURN, ERICKSON SETTLES A SCORE AT NEF 32

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Februar 4, 2018) – Two years of traveling the world in pursuit of mixed martial arts glory had not even a shred of negative impact on Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington’s mystique in the New England Fights cage.

 

 

 

 

Battered, bloodied Taylor Trahan somehow made it to the end of the second round at Androscoggin Bank Colisee, but a relentless Boyington punctuated a dominant performance with a rear naked choke at 1:08 of the third in the 150-pound main event at “NEF 32: Super Lørdag."

 

 

 

 

Boyington (15-11) had fought in such diverse locales as New York City and Moscow since his most recent NEF appearance. He extended his winning streak in the promotion to four fights at the expense of Trahan (7-9).

 

 

 

 

Four other professional bouts and 10 amateur affairs highlighted the busy evening.

 

 

 

C.J. Ewer’s bid to become the first simultaneous NEF champion in two different divisions fell short against Kemran Lachinov.

 

 

 

 

Lachinov (6-2), a Bellator veteran based out of Ludlow, Massachusetts, captured the vacant welterweight crown with a tapout to a kneebar at 3:01 af første runde.

 

 

 

Ewer was undefeated in three previous pro fights, including a submission victory over Mike Hansen for the middleweight strap six months ago.

 

 

 

 

Hansen also absorbed a choke-out loss on this card. Coming off a week of controversy about their agreed-upon catch weight, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson showed that his apparent size disadvantage was no issue.

 

 

 

 

After dominating the early exchanges, Erickson (10-7) applied a guillotine. With Hansen (5-9) appearing unresponsive, the referee stepped in and stopped the contest at 2:41 af åbningen runde.

 

 

 

 

Aaron Lacey rebounded from the first loss of his career, thoroughly dominating veteran Josh Parker in a 145-pound tangle. Lacey (5-1) controlled the lone round of the bout, dropping Parker (6-10) with a knee to the head. He maintained control with a vicious assault to the body, then sent Parker to dreamland via rear naked choke at 4:30.

 

 

 

 

Persistence paid off for independent mainstay Zenon Herrera, who picked up his first professional victory in his seventh try. Both Herrera and opponent Nate Charles have an extensive boxing background, but it was Herrera’s domination on the ground that paved the path to an unanimous decision.

 

 

 

 

In the headline amateur event, Ryan Burgess scored a narrow victory over Nate Boucher in a grueling, ground-and-pound flyweight fracas.

 

 

 

 

The bout between former Mountain Valley High School wrestling teammates was billed as a grudge match, fueled by a war of words on social media. Not surprisingly it ended in a lengthy embrace after the bell, with both men lying spent in the center of the cage.

 

 

 

 

There was little to choose between the Rumford rivals. Burgess (3-2) pushed the attack in rounds two and three and may have gained the final 29-28 edge on two scorecards with a few well-placed knees to the midsection. Boucher (2-2) swept all three rounds in the other judge’s estimation.

 

 

 

 

Med sejren, Burgess snapped a two-fight losing skid and earned a June title fight against Justin Witham. Burgess initially won the title back in 2015.

 

 

 

 

Kam Arnold (2-0) left an indelible impression on both the crowd and opponent Kyle Kenney in his first-round victory. After patiently finding a seam, Arnold slammed Kenney to the canvas early in the bout and gained the TKO with a barrage of strikes at the two-minute mark.

 

 

 

 

Former amateur light heavyweight champion Ryan Glover (4-2) made a triumphant return in his first appearance since losing the belt exactly one year ago. Glover ended a slugfest with newcomer Joe Berube by verbal submission to strikes in the opening seconds of the third round.

 

 

 

 

Mohammad Al-Kinani ran his amateur record to 3-0 with a first-round TKO of Isaac Therrien. It was Al-Kinani’s stand-up acumen against Therrien’s wrestling background, and Therrien gained the early advantage with three takedowns. He was unable to keep the action on the deck, dog, and Al-Kinani’s fistic prowess proved too tough to overcome.

 

 

 

 

Likewise, Shawn Lunghi kept his record perfect through three fights with a first-round rear naked choke over previously unbeaten Devin Corson. The convincing, 68-second victory earned Lunghi an April shot at the amateur featherweight title against Taylor Costantino at NEF 33 in Portland.

 

 

 

 

Former University of Maine football standout Carlton Charles delivered the quickest knockout of the evening. Charles rebounded from his initial loss in November with a 12-second stoppage of Delmarkis Edwards, who was making his debut at 175 pounds.

 

 

 

 

Stacy Lupo picked up his first win in the cage over David Hart. Lupo used knees and kicks to gain the advantage before gaining the TKO via strikes at 1:10 of the opening round of the 155-pound scrap.

 

 

 

 

In a wildly entertaining women’s bout to christen the card, B.J. Garceau made a successful amateur debut with a split decision over Sarah Ziehm. All three judges offered a 29-28 dom, but a strong start and authoritative finish gave Garceau the edge. Garceau dedicated her debut to awareness of diabetes, a disease she battles outside the cage.

 

 

 

 

 

Two other women’s bouts went the distance. Catie Denning won her debut by unanimous decision over Chelsea Elizabeth, while Amanda Gallo made her trip from Florida pay off with a clean sweep of the cards against 2017 NEF rookie of the year Jayda Bailey.

 

 

 

 

NEF returns to Portland, Maine, at Aura on Lørdag, April 14. To purchase tickets for “NEF 33: Riptide,” go to www.auramaine.com and use pre-sale code “NEF.”

NEF RETURNS TO LEWISTON ON SUPER BOWL WEEKEND WITH AN MMA SUPER CARD

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Januar 19, 2018) – The night before the National Football League (NFL) delivers its 2017-2018 season finale, New England Fights (NEF) will return to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston for the first time in eight months as the fight promotion presents “NEF 32: Super Lørdag.” And while New England football fans will have to wait until this Sunday’s AFC championship game to find out whether their beloved Patriots will play in the Super Bowl, area mixed-martial-arts fans learned today which of their favorites will compete at “NEF 32” as promotion executives released the full fight card for the February 3rd begivenhed.

 

 

I den vigtigste begivenhed af aftenen, Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-11) tager på Taylor Trahan (7-8) at a catchweight of 150-pounds. One of the biggest MMA stars ever to come out of Maine, Boyington will make his return to the NEF cage after a two-year absence that saw him compete on the global stage in places like Russia and New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. Trahan makes his third trip to Maine to compete. He is coming off a win over Connor Barry (3-2) sidste efterår.

 

 

Aaron “Relentless” Lacey (4-1) vender ud med Josh Parker (6-9) i en fjerlet kamp. Lacey suffered the first loss of his pro career in November when a fight he was arguably on the way to winning was stopped by a doctor due to a cut on Lacey’s head. Parker will look to continue his recent success in the MMA cage after recent victories over Andre Belcarris (0-2) og Derek Shorey (4-9).

 

 

CJ Ewer (3-0) is out to make history by becoming the first competitor to hold NEF championships simultaneously in multiple weight divisions. Ewer is the reigning NEF Pro Middleweight Champion. På “NEF 32,” han har mulighed for at fange NEF Pro weltervægt titel, da han møder Kemran Lachinov (5-2) til den ledige strop.

 

 

Også i professionel weltervægt handling vil være Mike “Den Mustache” Hansen (5-8) og Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) i en kamp faktureret som “The Berserker vs. The Viking.” Hansen and Erickson have developed a rivalry as coaches of local gyms Berserkers MMA and Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), henholdsvis.

 

 

Taler som, Nate Boucher (2-1), et produkt af CMBJJ, og Ryan Burgess (2-2) of Berserkers MMA will headline the amateur portion of the fight card. The flyweights, former teammates on the Mountain Valley High School wrestling squad, have engaged in a recent war of words heading into the bout. The winner will be in line for a shot at the amateur flyweight title later this spring.

 

 

2017 NEF “Rookie of the Year” Jayda “Lil Killah” Bailey (1-0) returns to the cage on February 3rd to meet Florida’s Amanda Gallo (0-1). Bailey made history in November at “NEF 31” by becoming the youngest competitor ever to compete, (and win), i NEF buret. She turned 18, the legal age for competing in MMA in Maine, just a week prior to the event.

“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Said Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 gange i tre år. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. På November 3rd, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.

“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” Said Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”

NEF næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Fredag, November 3, 2017. Billetter er til salg nu på www.auramaine.com.

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Juni 1, 2016) – Just one day removed from the announcement that Russell Lamour, Jr. (13-2, 6 KOS) would make his debut on a New England Fights (NEF) kort, the fight promotion announced that Lamour’s teammate Casey “The Buzzsaw” Kramlich (4-0-1, 2 KOS) would also be featured on the “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” professional boxing event. På Juni 18, 2016 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée, Kramlich will face Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera (0-1) in a four-round super welterweight contest.

 

Along with Lamour, Kramlich trains at the Portland Boxing Club in Portland, Maine. Kramlich, til dato, has yet to taste defeat in the boxing ring as a professional. Earlier this spring, Kramlich handed Boston’s Jason Kelly (5-1) the first loss of his professional career on a fight card in Salem, New Hampshire. He dominated the first two rounds of the fight before the previously-undefeated Kelly was unable to answer the bell to open round three.

 

Last fall, Kramlich fought to a draw against Antonio Chaves Fernandez (6-23-2) on a card in Portland, Maine. It is the only mark outside of the win column on Kramlich’s record. På Juni 18, Kramlich plans to add another notch to that win column at the expense of Zenon Herrera.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting on an NEF card,” said Kramlich. “Looking forward to putting on a great show for the fans. I’ve been training hard, I’m hungry and I’m looking to come out on top victorious and stay undefeated.”

 

Zenon Herrera is one of only a small handful of athletes to have competed in both the NEF MMA cage and the boxing ring. Herrera made his boxing debut last fall in a losing effort to Tollison Lewis (2-1). På Juni 18, Herrera will be looking for his first win in NEF. He is a veteran of both the United States Army and Marine Corps, have tjent en kombineret ni år mellem de to militære grene.

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine den Juni 18, 2016 med “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 og er der tilbud nu på www.TheColisee.com eller ved at ringe til Colisée box office på207.783.2009 x 525.
