Gary Antuanne Russell believes that Devin Haney got the ‘Smarts’ around WBO swelling champion Brian Norman Jr. Russell thinks Haney (32-0, 15 COs) can win, but he can’t afford to be ‘touched’ because if he does, it’s a “Clearly.”
“Damaged” Haney Post-Garcia
Russell thinks Haney is “Damaged” From his fight against Ryan Garcia, which is why he was in his fight against Jose Ramirez at Times Square in New York in May last year. Therefore, Devin will be in a survival mode against Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 COs). He has no confidence in his chin.
“Devin Haney got the smart things to pull out the fight, but he can’t be touched,” Gary Antuanne Russell said Cigar talkAnalyze the November battle between Brian Norman Jr. and Devin Haney. “If he is touched, it is a doken agreement.”
It would be impossible for Haney to be a whole 12 round against Norman Jr. By going without being hit. He hit Jose Ramirez in his last fight, and he was on the flight all the time. Haney will be hit at some point, and that may be when trying to clinch.
Norman Jr. say “thumpers”, Haney’s Feints
“One thing about Brian Norman is that he has tamps in both hands, but he’s slow,” Russell says. “He’s slowly on his feet. Devin Haney goes his a **, paste his a **, grabbing his a **. He is going to do everything to survive. Before you know it, it’s rounds he puts in the bank. Brian Norman can’t be effective enough to be a winner. ‘
Norman jr. Closed the distance well in his fight against Jin Sasaki on June 19. He may seem as if he has slowly feet, but he walks forward quickly, and he has long enough arms to reach Haney as he runs. We will all know that Devin is going to run. If he wants to continue to get this Riyadh season -offs from Turki Alalshikh, he will choose to mix it with Norman JR, because it will look bad if he moves in the ring all night.
“He needs to get more points in these rounds. He has to put these rounds in the bank. Brian Norman is going to be inactive when it comes to a fighter like him,” Russell said. “Devin Haney no longer lets you get from him. I said he was damaged after Ryan Garcia. ‘
As Norman jr. Can’t land because Haney moves all over the place, he won’t be able to throw his own shots. He can’t beat Norman by beating all night. He must get involved so that he can get some meaningful bumps to impress the judges. Haney looked “damaged” in his struggle with Jose Ramirez. You can see that he was worried about being hit. The beat he took against Ryan left him a crook of the fighter he was.
Norman jr. Forces involvement
“Now, now he’s trying to sit back and start from the front. He doesn’t fight the same. In his last fight on Times Square, he was on his bike. He (Jose Ramirez) used a feint, and he (Haney) was halfway across the ring. But it worked. Brian Norman did not hide anything. He will let you know that this is a fight. ” Let me tell you with one of these things, ‘says Russell.
Norman jr. Haney will walk down the GGG style and force him to get involved. What we don’t know yet is how big the ring will be for the Norman Jr. Haney fight. It is likely that Turki will insist on an 18-foot ring, which will make it difficult for Devin to avoid Norman JR.
