Bill Haney says his son, Devin Haney, will be “disability” Brian Norman Jr., forcing him to do what he “does best” this Saturday, November 22, when he challenges him for his WBO welterweight title in Riyadh.
Norman has to find him
The “handicapped” comment from Bill is what Devin (32-0, 16 KOs) said before his fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2nd. In that fight, Haney moved around the ring all night, making it impossible for Ramirez to land. He was limited to 40 punches landed in the entire fight.
“We want to hinder the fighter from doing what he does best,” Bill Haney said Seconds out about what his son, Devin Haney, will do against WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. on Saturday night. going to try “On the biggest night of his life, he will have to do what he does best.”
Pay for defensive boxing
Hopefully Devin does more than hinder Saturday because this fight is on DAZN PPV. Fans expect value for their money, not a hit-and-miss battle. It’s doubtful that Haney even has that kind of fight against the 24-year-old Norman Jr. can win because he is not old, slow on his feet and reluctant to aggressively pursue him.
Is it just more going on?
“Until you’re a well-balanced, perfect fighter, then you’re probably going to have bad nights against Devin Haney,” Bill said. “We beat out all the guys. Devin is the veteran in the division. He’s the most skilled, most talented.”
Norman Jr. haven’t fought a runner before. So, it’s going to be fun to see how he handles Haney moving in circles non-stop all night. Can he get to him often enough to knock him out or win a decision?
The old guys Devin “knocked down
- Jose Ramirez
- King Prograis
- Vasily Lomachenko – *controversial
- Yuriorkis Gamboa
- Joseph ‘Jojo’ Diaz
- Juan Carlos Burgos
“There’s only one guy who says he’ll fight anybody, everybody, anywhere,” Bill said of his son, Haney.
Devin didn’t fight “everyone. He left the 135-lb division when it was still weak and nowhere near what it is today. At 140, Haney never fought Gary Antuanne Russell, Teofimo Lopez, Subriel Matias or Alberto Puello. He was strategic in his selection, fighting the 35-year-old against Ryanter Regis Prograis before moving up and moving up to Ryan Regis Prograis.
