Liam Paro will eventually travel across the pond AND just like Katsidis, Jeff Horn, Kambosos, Tim Tszyu and many other “great” Aussies, he will get beat up.

That does not mean I am disregarding their warrior mentality. I respect it

Yes, avoid Brian Norman Jr. at all fkn costs.

That crazy risk taker is eyeballing Rolly Romero, Betty Crocker and Paddy Cakes. The rest of interview makes about as much sense as that silly ass hairdo.

Agreed but if Devin runs and hugs, Paro will never fight Brian Norman and neither will anyone else.

Brain Norman will feel what it's like to be stepped aside, tossed out like an old Boot.

Don't confuse a young, strong and dangerous Norman Jr. with a washed Ramirez. Ryan is a very part-time fighter and knocked Devin down three times. Think about that for a moment.

Lets just say I'm concerned....and here's why.

The Haney's are already getting into Brian's head the way they did Regis Prograis. That Haney/Norman altercation was a setup, Devin's bodyguard being in the right place to intercept retaliation was no accident, that's just part of the strategy. Devin couldn't get into Ryan's head, he tried but Ryan was on some mental hiatus. In that fight Devin and almost everyone else assumed Garcia was having a breakdown. Devin thought he would just KO Ryan so he did less boxing and running. Devin planted his feet more to deliver hard shots against a guy set out for destruction with faster hands and more power.

I believe Haney is already in Brain Norman's head and he intends to use that to pot shot, hold, run and maybe, maybe catch a frustrated Norman walking into something.

For the record, I think Brain Norman walks through Garcia fairly easily and I'll die on the at hill.

That's a very bad hill to die on, young man. When was the last time Devin hurt someone with a punch, 2019? Ryan walked through him because he knew he could. Koeman Jr. is bigger, more athletic and hits even harder than Ryan.

Devin and Bill are weak mentally. Filing the lawsuit proved that. If anyone breaks mentally in this fight, it will be Devin.

Norman Jr. KO 7. And that's a hill I will die on with my DraftKings account.

To Paro's credit, he's crossed the pond a few times, including going to Puerto Rico and beating Subriel Matias there for the world title. Kambosos' first three losses came at home in Australia – Haney (twice) and Lomachenko went there knowing the money Down Under was good

You are right. I should have instead said, as soon as they step up to fight Americans (and even Europeans and Mexicans) fighters, they tend not to fare well.
The same is the case when Americans travel Down Under. I am never surprised when say a Crawford or Haney or Loma travels there and wins.
