Comments Thread For: Brian Norman-Devin Haney: Norman to win by KO, says Bob Arum

[hitmanjosh]

I will roll with Bob over anyone on here any day any time, he's not just a promoter but a scout and historian of this sport and those that don't know better reconigize!

Bob's thinking is Haney won't be able to run for 12 rounds, that Normand will catch him, like Garcia did. He may very well be right!

The ring size answers all questions. They're fighting in a 20X20 ring size very favorable for Haney. Norman chases all night eating jabs from Haney. Norman looking confused and unable to land anything losses on points and fires trainer.

I honestly think people are overestimating Haney chances as a runner
I think he gets caught and ousted

I think Haney will likely get buzzed at some point/hit the deck as he has some rather predictable tendencies but I suspect he'll hold out and take a decision.

There is a lot about Norman Jr I like - His style, personality, I think he is showing improvement each and every fight but I favour the better boxer here and love him or hate him Devin has been in with a lot of quality. We talk about the eye test a lot but BNJ is hardly proven he's been on that Top Rank diet of static fighters with zero defence.
I do think hes a very good and dangerous fighter but I've not seen him against anyone of any real quality or anyone I feel would particularly give him trouble stylistically.
He's got decent speed, explosive, hits hard with both hands if you stand in front of him you'll have big problems.

Great fight I look forward to seeing what both guys can do.
I don't care who wins I just hope Devin doesn't stink it up.

It can happen, but... Norman jr ain't Ramirez! Nor Kambosos or Prograis. And Haney won't have the size advantage he had at Light and super Light.

Haney can move on from the Garcia situation if he goes out and wins this fight.

Risky fight for Haney given how tough Norman is.

Looking forward to a solid fight this weekend.

I can only pray Bnorm KO's Haney and gets rid of him at the top level. His personality feels fake or lame and his style of fighting is equally as dull.

Bnorm should be the guy headlining future mega matches because he's got a crowd pleasing style and seeing him in recent interviews leading up to this fight, a big personality as well.
