Thread: Douglin Kicks off 2012 with a Bang; Outpoints Martinez!

Key West, FL (January 7, 2012) – Denis “Da Momma’s Boy” Douglin of Morganville, NJ scored his biggest victory to date by outpointing highly touted and previously unbeaten junior middleweight Steven Martinez Friday evening at Mallory Square in Key West, FL.

Kicking off the 2012 season of ESPN’s Friday Night Fights, Douglin and Martinez engaged in an entertaining bout that was competitive from bell to bell. Douglin boxed effectively and connected with the cleaner punches, while his Bronx, NY based foe was the aggressor. Both men had spurts of success and believed they deserved the victory, but Douglin’s boxing skills ultimately earned him the nod over his former amateur teammate via eight round split decision.

“I’m happy with the victory and Steven is a terrific fighter, but I’ve still got plenty of improvements to make,” stated Douglin, who improved to 14-1 with 8 KO’s. “I’ll be right back in the gym making the necessary adjustments that will get me to the next level.”

Douglin also feels that many of his critics have been silenced.

“I definitely showed everybody what kind of a fighter I am,” exclaimed the 2008 National Golden Gloves Champion. “I’ve fought tough opponents in back to back fights and Martinez is regarded as one of the top prospects on the east coast. This is just the beginning though and I’m going to continue my journey up the ranks until I become a world champion!”

It was certainly a good fight by 2 fighters that were well matched at this stage of thier career's. I thought Martinez won the fight 77-76 although i have no problem with Douglin getting the decision as many of the rounds were that close.

I hope they fight again on ESPN FNF

That was no " bang " of a victory.. douglin got lucky cuz Martinez clearly, and I mean clearly, beat him..

Martinez won that fight..

JMW division is going to get stacked in the next few years and I highly doubt Douglin will make an impact.. He's a dime a dozen fighter...

This dude Douglin is a sucker for that straight right hand and dude is going to get knocked out by one very soon.. he's a brutal KO loss waiting to happen..

It wasn't a bad fight, pretty good really. Nothing special though.

I also had a lot of rounds close and kinda felt Martinez had won it.

This guy Douglin is a fast, solid fighter but I don't think anyone would look twice at him if he wasn't trained by his Mother.

Thats his gimmick and the reason he was fighting on TV and why he got that decision I reckon.

So bitter I missed this one. I thought I had it recorded. Damn it. Maybe it's on youtube. Did you really think Martinez won the fight? Wasn't even close?

It was a fight worth watching bro with good action. Ill find a link for you if you didnt catch it already..

Fight wasn't lopsided or anything but Martinez won decisively .. fkin bullshit there is no way Douglin deserved a decision..

Douglin is ordinary man, he aint going nowhere with that flawed as style of his.. Id be shocked if he could even reach Vanes Martiroysan's level..

Mama boy sucks and his attitude stinks..
