Norman Jr. Never hunted mobilizer like Haney

Lamont Roach says that Brian Norman Jr. “Worry about” the movement from Devin Haney on November 22nd. He says he has never seen Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 ko) having to “hunt down” a fighter who moved before.

Lamont notes that the WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr. Faced in his career willing to exchange with him when he went after them.

Haney will not trade with a killer

Devin (32-0, 16 ko) is not expected to exchange at all with Norman, especially after the way he looked in his final fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2nd. He looked like a shaken vet that had come off the war and it was all mentally distinguished.

Soldier in the wrong war

Can he come back from that in just six months? If it’s a permanent situation, Haney is going to be food for Norman Jr. Devin must look like a soldier with PTSD against Norman Jr., 24, because he is a straight killer without any compulsion about what he does to his opponents when he is in trouble.

“Who’s to say it’s not broken?” Lamont Roach said to Circle champions For Devin Haney on how he could perform against Brian Norman Jr. “I think he will come in there with confidence, especially after his performance against Jose Ramirez.”

Devin was shy gun against Ramirez, and we could see the same against Norman Jr. He would have to have a strong camp to cut off this habit. Lightweight shot Troy Isley was one of the main partners of Sparring Haney to prepare for Norman Jr. That’s the wrong man to prepare for Brian Jr.

Norman’s first actual mobility test

“Brian Norman is a straight weight fighter and reaches the action as he does. Personally I have not seen him Hunting down a mover again. He hunts those other guys willing to exchange or sit there that they don’t have the best feet, ”said Roach.

Norman Jr. Had a lot of practice in a training camp on how to deal with movers and clinchers. Those two things are the main strategies that Haney uses on defense to avoid being hit. He moves and is still.

If Brian Jr. Having trained well enough to cut off the circle, he could catch Haney and force him to fight. When Devin is trapped, he immediately grabs his opponent in clinch. We saw him doing that time and time again against Jose Ramirez. He worked because Ramirez did not fight through the clinches or hit him while he was in the process of catching.

“One thing Devin can do, Devin can move. That’s probably one thing they’ll have to worry about. I can see him (Haney) trying to exchange and get cracked. That may change the battle,” said Roach.

Fear of Haney Fire Fighting

If Roach was watching Haney’s final fight against Ramirez, he would have indicated that he stayed until late in the battle to exchange with Ramirez. It was short, and then he would resume running. It was only a few cases when Devin took the risk of exchange because he looked scared.

It is unrealistic to predict that Haney will choose to exchange at all with Norman, because it is dangerous at every second.

Even when he was tired of the later rounds against Quinton Randall and Jesus Antonio Perez Campos, Norman JR was still throwing with huge power. Those fights happened two years ago when Norman Jr. is just 22 years old. He is now 24, hitting harder and bigger than it was when those fighters fought.
