By Graham Ilford: Brian Norman Jr’s dad, Brian Sr., says that Devin Haney is “cooked meals” of their combat on November twenty second in Riyadh. He mentions that the daring discuss that Devin (32-0, 16 KOs) was doing, sounding like he was on his hind legs, saying, “Judgment Day Is Coming” in his conflict towards WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs)
Haney Jr. appears actually assured going into the match on the ANB Enviornment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He’s coming off a giant win over Jose Ramirez on Might 2, 2025. That victory has him believing he’s going to beat Norman Jr. and present him that there are “ranges” to the sport.
“Cooked Meals” Warning from Brian Sr.
“He’s cooked meals after this anyway. He’s going to get beat the f*** up,” stated Brian Norman Sr. to MillCity Boxing about what’s going to occur to Devin Haney when he challenges WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. in 20 days on November twenty second, 2025. “He was speaking actual huge.
“He was speaking like he’s going to step. He’s speaking like he’s going to essentially attempt to get energetic. I used to be taking a look at his sparring companions he acquired. I used to be even taking a look at Troy [Isley],” stated Norman Sr., speaking about how Haney is sounding throughout his interview on the Ariel Helwani present, like he’s going to combat aggressively towards Brian Jr.
Huge Riyadh Payday, Larger Expectations
On condition that Haney is being paid hundreds of thousands by Turki Alalshikh on his Riyadh Season card, he ought to combat with conviction towards Norman Jr. It will be unhealthy for Haney if he turns in a efficiency like he did towards Jose Ramirez earlier this 12 months on Might 2 at Occasions Sq. in New York.
“You’ve acquired Elijah Flores, and he stated, ‘He’s probably the greatest he’s ever been with,’ and Devin wasn’t that. You’ve even acquired Troy saying, ‘Devin don’t hit like that. He’s smaller,’” stated Norman Sr.
It doesn’t require Haney’s latest sparring accomplice, Elijah Flores, to say that he doesn’t possess energy. Anybody can see that Devin doesn’t have pop in his punches. That’s why he’s pressured to carry continuously and transfer to maintain from getting overwhelmed up.
When Haney deviated from his typical, cautious type of combating in his bout towards Ryan Garcia on April 20, 2024, it was disastrous for him. He was dropped 3 times and damage repeatedly in rounds 1, 7, 10, and 11.
There’s no thriller about what Haney’s recreation plan can be towards Norman Jr. on November twenty second. He’s going to jab, transfer, maintain, and throw single pot photographs. If that doesn’t work for Haney, he’ll be knocked out.
