Boyington vai cabeza a cabeza con raio DÍAS ANTES DE LOITA: “Vou ir alí e destruír-lo”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Xuño 10, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XVIII mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: FEITO EN AMÉRICA,” este sábado noite, Xuño 13, 2015 no Colisee Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. Recentemente, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), o NEF MMA Profesional campión dos lixeiros, e Baño “First Class” Raio(2-7) co-propietario NEF uniuse e matchmaker Matt Peterson nun especial “Cabeza a cabeza” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, entre outros temas.

 

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 “onda man.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington alegou que estaba só sinalizando para os seus fans no medio da multitude que a espera non estaba facendo calquera dano.

 

“Podo dicir-lle como que noite rematou,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Basicamente, 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, e mentres eu pegaba o meu bíceps esquerdo e miña man esquerda estaba indo detrás da súa cabeza, o árbitro deixou a loita… Quedei espantado que tiña aproveitado porque, honestamente, Eu sabía que eu tiña unha morea de presión na mandíbula… Se de feito estaba acenando, que suga a el.”

 

“Nesa situación, Lembro especialmente Bickford mirando para min, Eu son a cara superior, vai para o meu pescozo e eu estou acenando,” Dixo Boyington. “Todo o mundo comeza a ruxir ben alto e eu recordo dicindo Bickford, 'Non Bruce, non se pode dicir que '… Se pensas que eu estou sometendo ou eu estou en apuros ou non pode respirar, you don’t tell the fighter, “Non se pode dicir que,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Eu vexo unha morea de cousas distintas que John dixo en liña, e unha morea de cousas que os demais teñen dito, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Antes de Boyington desistir da súa volta, many felt he had been winning that first round. De Traxe, 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.

 

“Inevitablemente, Creo que John sería nocauteado,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Eu non creo que eu vou enviar-lle, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Eu creo que si o árbitro non parou no tempo, cando estaba na súa mandíbula co meu antebrazo e eu estaba chegando detrás do seu pescozo,” Raio speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Así, Eu non creo que el iría a unha segunda volta.”

 

Os días, semanas e meses seguintes a loita, 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,” tanto atletas tocou sobre o que o desquite significa para eles, e que precisan para probar este fin de semana.

 

“Eu só non podo ir alí e gañar John,” Dixo Boyington. “Mesmo os seus propios fans están esperando que… Non podo simplemente ir alí en 13 de xuñoand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Sei que, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, porque o outro brazo non está mesmo a traballar agora… 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.

 

“En relación a Bruce me rematar axiña, e facendo máis doado, e non realmente se preocupe a loita moi, Acaba de atopalo irrespetuoso como unha morea de cousas que el me dixo:, miña familia e os meus amigos,” replied Raio. “Houbo momentos despois da última loita, cando as persoas estaban me parabenizándoo (en 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. Así, despois de que eu dixen 'Bruce e realmente non son máis amigos,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… pero cando a xente me desrespeitar como el ten é difícil gusto do cara.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Maio 8, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XVIII mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” en Sábado, Xuño 13, 2015 no Colisee Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. hoxe cedo, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “O Viking” Erickson (4-4) debe reunirse 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 (NEW) afiliar – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Mes pasado, 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. “Na miña última loita, 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 XVII” 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,” Dixo 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.

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. En Xuño 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,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker 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 Xuño 13th."

 

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 “XVII NEF.” 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. En 13 de xuño 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” en febreiro deste ano. 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.”
