Douglin Confident of Victory!

Morganville, NJ (December 30, 2011) – Although he’s won 13 of his 14 professional bouts and Ring Magazine featured him as a prospect on the rise, some still knock junior middleweight Denis “Da Mommas Boy” Douglin for his lone defeat.

The sole setback, which came last February against Doel Carrasquillo, is something Douglin doesn’t care to hear or talk about.

“You can only be successful by moving forward, not backwards,” stated the former National Golden Gloves Champion. “I’ve discussed that fight enough times and have moved on with my career. There will always be doubters but that’s just boxing.”

On January 6, Douglin can silence his critics when he faces fellow 2008 National Golden Gloves titlist Steven Martinez on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights. Martinez, 11-0 (9 KO’s), is a well-regarded prospect with devastating punching power. Eight of his nine opponents failed to make it out of the third round and none of them were able to test him.

Douglin’s confident that will all change.

“I am very hungry,” exclaimed Douglin. “I’m going to leave everything in the ring and don’t think Martinez can do the same. I’ve seen him get frustrated in the ring before and I hit harder than anybody he’s faced. My training camp has been fantastic and I know I am going to win this fight!”

Douglin-Martinez is scheduled for eight rounds in the junior middleweight division and opens the 2012 season of Friday Night Fights. The card is promoted by Dibella Entertainment and tickets starting at $35 are available at Keystix.com.

The card airs live on ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPN Deportes at 9 pm ET.
