BOYINGTON GOES kop-aan-kop met Raio DAE VOOR FIGHT: “Ek gaan daar in en hom vernietig”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Junie 10, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy agtiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XVIII: In Amerika gemaak,” Saterdag nag, Junie 13, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Onlangs, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), die NEF MMA Professionele liggewigkampioen, en John “First Class” Ray(2-7) aangesluit NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson op 'n spesiale “Kop-aan-kop” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, onder ander onderwerpe.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “hand golf.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington het aangevoer dat hy bloot sein aan sy ondersteuners in die skare wat die houvas nie doen enige skade.

 

“Ek kan jou vertel hoe daardie nag geëindig,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Basies, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, en as ek gryp my linker Bicep en my linkerhand gaan agter sy kop, die ref gestop die stryd… Ek was verbaas dat hy as gevolg het geput, eerlik, Ek het geweet dat ek 'n baie druk op sy kakebeen… As in die feit is hy waai, wat suig vir hom.”

 

“In daardie situasie, Ek het spesifiek onthou Bickford na my, Ek is in die gesig staar up, hy gaan vir my nek en ek waai,” Said Boyington. “Almal begin dreun real hard en ek onthou Bickford sê, "Geen Bruce, jy kan nie sê dat '… As jy dink dat ek die indiening of ek is in die moeilikheid is of kan nie asemhaal, you don’t tell the fighter, “Jy kan nie sê dat,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ek sien 'n baie verskillende dinge wat John online gesê, en 'n baie van die dinge wat ander mense gesê het, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Voor Boyington gee sy rug, many felt he had been winning that first round. Inderdaad, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Onvermydelik, Ek dink John sou gewees het uitgeslaan,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ek dink nie ek gaan dien hom, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Ek dink as die ref het nie ophou by die tyd, toe ek op sy kakebeen met my voorarm en ek was agter op sy nek,” Ray bespiegel, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. So, Ek dink nie dit weg sou het om 'n tweede ronde.”

 

In die dae, weke en maande na die stryd, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” beide atlete aangeraak wat die rematch vir hulle beteken, en wat hulle nodig het om die komende naweek bewys.

 

“Ek kan net nie daar gaan in en klop John,” Said Boyington. “Selfs sy eie ondersteuners verwag dat… Ek kan nie net daar gaan op 13 Junieand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ek weet dat, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, omdat die ander arm is nie, selfs nou werk… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“In verband met Bruce vinnig afwerking my, en maak dit maklik, en nie regtig bekommerd oor die stryd te veel, Ek vind dit net respek soos 'n baie van die dinge wat hy het vir my gesê, my familie en my vriende,” replied Raio. “Daar was tye na die laaste stryd wanneer mense my is geluk (op Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. So, nadat ek gesê: "Bruce en ek is nie regtig vriende nie,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… maar wanneer mense disrespek my soos hy dit is moeilik om die man wil.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Mei 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy agtiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” op Saterdag, Junie 13, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Die Viking” Erickson (4-4) is geskeduleer om te voldoen aan Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NUWE) affiliate – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Verlede maand, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

“After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “In my laaste stryd, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.”

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Maine, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “NEF Sewentien” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

“I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” Said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.”

 

NEF se volgende MMA geval, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” will originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine on June 13, 2015.

RIVAL BANGOR-AREA GYMS VIE FOR FIRST-EVER AMATEUR MMA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (April 16, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy agtiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” op Saterdag, Junie 13, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced that the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion will be crowned that evening when undefeated Ricky Dexter (3-0), representing Marcus Davis’ Span Ierse, sal plaasvind op Josh Harvey (3-1) of cross-town rival Young’s MMA. The bout will be contested at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Dexter and Harvey are regarded as two of the top prospects currently on the NEF MMA roster. Both athletes are undefeated in the promotion’s cage. Op Junie 13, they will carry on a rivalry that has raged in NEF between the Young’s MMA and Team Irish gyms for several years.

 

“Both of these young athletes are a testament to their respective gyms, as well as to how far the sport has come in Maine,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “They both came along after NEF was established in the state, and we have seen both of them grow over the past year. We in the NEF front office unanimously believe that Josh and Ricky have a bright future ahead of them in MMA and look forward to this highly competitive bout set to be contested in Lewiston on Junie 13ste."

 

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “NEF XVII.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

 

“I’m honored to be fighting for the NEF Lightweight Amateur Title,” stated Dexter. “To me there’s a lot more on the line than just a belt. Op 13 Junie you better believe I’m bringing it.”

 

When fans last saw Josh Harvey in the NEF cage, he had his arm raised in victory after mauling Caleb Hall (5-2) in the amateur opener of “NEF XVI” die afgelope Februarie. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine. Many insiders believe this will be one of Harvey’s final amateur fights before turning professional.

 

“Two top fighters from two top schools, this is a match to be excited about,” stated Harvey when reached for comment. “I have all the respect in the world for Ricky, but there is no where this fight goes that I don’t win.”
