路易斯顿, 缅因 (六月 10, 2015) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF), 美国的头号地区拼促销, 将举行第十八届混合武术 (MMA) 事件, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” 这个星期六 夜晚, 六月 13, 2015 在安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店在路易斯顿, 缅因. 最近, 头条新闻 布鲁斯 “漂亮男孩” Boyington (10-8), 在NEF MMA职业轻量级冠军, 和 约翰· “甲级” 射线(2-7) 加入NEF共同所有者和媒人马特·彼得森在一个特殊的 “头对头” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, 除其他议题.

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 “手一挥。” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington曾辩称，他只是信令，以他的球迷在人群中的保持没有做任何损害.

“我可以告诉你如何当晚结束,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “基本上, 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, 当我抓住我的左二头肌和我的左手打算在脑后, 裁判叫停… 我很惊讶，他因窃听, 老老实实, 我知道我有很多的压力，他的下巴… 事实上，如果他挥手, ，吸他。”

“在这种情况下, 我记得特别比克福德看着我, 我面对, 他会为我的脖子，我挥舞着,” 说Boyington. “每个人都开始咆哮真正的响亮，我记得比克福德说, “没有布鲁斯, 你不能说'… 如果你认为我在提交或者我遇到麻烦或不能呼吸, you don’t tell the fighter, “你不能说,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… 我看到了很多不同的东西，约翰已经在网上说, 和很多东西别人已经说过, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

此前Boyington放弃他的背, many felt he had been winning that first round. 的确, 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.

“必将, 我认为约翰会已经被淘汰,” stated Boyington emphatically. “我不认为我会提交他, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

“我想，如果裁判没有停止的时候, 当我在他的下巴和我的前臂和我到达脖子后面,” 雷推测, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. 所以, 我不认为这会已经走了第二轮。”

在未来的日子, 几周和几个月后的战斗, 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,” 运动员都谈到什么复赛意味着他们, 他们需要什么来证明本周末.

“我不能去那里击败约翰·,” 说Boyington. “连自己的球迷都期待的… 我不能只是去那里上 6月13日and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. 我知道, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, 因为另一只手臂甚至没有工作，现在… 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.”

“至于布鲁斯迅速整理箱, 并使其易于, 并没有真正担心打太多, 我只是觉得它像不敬的很多东西他对我说：, 我的家人和我的朋友,” replied Raio. “还有，当人们向我祝贺最后的挣扎后次 (在Facebook上) 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. 所以, 之后，我说：“布鲁斯和我是不是真的朋友了,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… 但是，当人们不尊重我，就像他很难喜欢的家伙。”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA职业轻量级冠军 布鲁斯 “漂亮男孩” Boyington (10-8) takes on rival约翰· “甲级” 射线 (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, 然而, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on 六月 13 在路易斯顿.

Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, 缅因.

Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular 比利 “大脚” 莱希 (2-1) 和瑞恩·格洛弗 (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, 缅因.
