Doughlin Faces McCants On Williams vs. Landy Fight Card

ByBoxing Press

2008 National Golden Gloves titlist and highly touted junior middleweight Denis “Da Mommas Boy” Douglin makes his return to the ring this Saturday evening at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ when he battles grizzled Philadelphian Phillip McCants.

With a 9-2-1 professional ledger and three wins by knockout, McCants is yet another fighter from the City of Brotherly Love that is tougher than nails. The 30 year old veteran has never been stopped and is known for having solid skills. In his most recent bout, McCants bested 12-2 Kaseem Wilson.

Douglin, 12-1 (8 KO’s), is fighting for the first time since a stunning defeat to Doel Carrasquillo and recognizes that he can’t take anything for granted. Refreshed, retooled and 100% focused on boxing, the Morganville, NJ based Brooklynite is excited to silence his critics with a strong showing.

“I feel great,” said Douglin. “I don’t care who I’m fighting I just want to go out and show people that my last fight was a fluke and that it won’t happen again.”

Tickets to the outstanding evening of boxing, headlined a showdown between Paul Williams and Erislandy Lara, start at $50. Fans can purchase tickets at ticketmaster.com or in person at Boardwalk Hall.
