BOYINGTON GOES ras għal ras mal DAYS Raio QABEL IL-ĠLIEDA: “I'M gonna GO fil hemm u jeqirdu lilu”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Ġunju 10, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: MAGĦMULA FL-AMERIKA,” din is-Sibt lejl, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Recently, headliners Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8), l-NEF MMA Professjonali Lightweight Champion, u John “Ewwel Klassi” Ray(2-7) ssieħbu NEF ko-proprjetarju u matchmaker Matt Peterson fuq speċjali “Ras għal-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, fost suġġetti oħra.

 

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 “mewġa idejn.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington prinċipali sostna li huwa kien sempliċement sinjalar għal fannijiet tiegħu fil-folla li l-istiva ma kienet tagħmel ebda ħsara.

 

“I jista 'jgħidlek kif dak il-lejl ntemmet,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Bażikament, 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, u kif I grabbed bicep xellug tiegħi u tax-xellug tiegħi kien għaddej wara kap tiegħu, l-ref waqqaf il-ġlieda… I kien étonné li hu kien sfruttat minħabba, onestament, Jien kont naf li kelli ħafna pressjoni fuq xedaq tiegħu… Jekk fil-fatt kien waving, li sucks għalih.”

 

“F'dik is-sitwazzjoni, Jiena speċifikament remember BICKFORD tħares lejn me, Jien jiffaċċjaw up, huwa għaddej għal għonq tiegħi u jien waving,” Said Boyington. “Kulħadd jibda roaring loud reali u I remember BICKFORD qal, "L-ebda Bruce, inti ma tista 'tgħid li "… Jekk inti taħseb li jien sottomissjoni jew jien fl-inkwiet jew ma tistax nifs, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inti ma tistax tgħid li,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Nara ħafna affarijiet differenti li John qal online, u ħafna affarijiet nies oħra qalu, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Qabel ma Boyington jċedu lura tiegħu, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tabilħaqq, 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.

 

“Inevitabbilment, Naħseb John se kont qed knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “I do not think jien gonna jissottomettu lilu, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Naħseb jekk il-ref ma waqfitx fil-ħin, meta I kien fuq xedaq tiegħu ma driegħ tiegħi u I kien jilħaq wara l-għonq tiegħu,” Ray spekula, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Allura, I ma naħsibx li kieku stajt marret għat-tieni rawnd.”

 

Fil-jiem, ġimgħat u xhur wara l-ġlieda, 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,” kemm atleti mimsus fuq dak il-rematch tfisser għalihom, u dak li għandhom bżonn biex jipprova dan weekend li ġejjin.

 

“I biss ma tistax tmur fil hemm u taħbit John,” Said Boyington. “Anke partitarji tiegħu stess qed jistennew li… I ma tistax biss jmorru fil hemm fuq Ġunju 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Naf li, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, minħabba li l-driegħ l-ieħor lanqas ma huwa taħdem id-dritt issa… 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.”

 

“Fir-rigward Bruce irfinar me malajr, u jagħmilha faċli, u mhux verament inkwetanti dwar il-ġlieda wisq, I biss jsibuha turi diżrispett bħal ħafna affarijiet hu qal lili, familja tiegħi u l-ħbieb tiegħi,” replied Raio. “Kien hemm żminijiet wara l-aħħar ġlieda meta n-nies kienu feraħ me (fuq 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. Allura, wara li għidt "Bruce u I ma humiex verament ħbieb jibqgħalu,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… imma meta n-nies diżrispett me simili hu għandu huwa diffiċli li bħall-Guy.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Ħalli kumment

Lewiston, Maine (Mejju 8, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Il Viking” Erickson (4-4) huwa skedat li jissodisfaw 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) affiljat – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). L-aħħar xahar, 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. “Fl-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi, 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,” 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.”

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

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (April 16, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-tmintax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” fuq IS-SIBT, Ġunju 13, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, 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’ Team Irlandiż, se tieħu fuq 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. Fuq Ġunju 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 Ġunju 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. Fuq Ġunju 13 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” Frar ta 'din passat. 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.”
