Brian Norman Sr. predicts that Devin Haney goes to get “beat” irrespective of what he tries against WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. on November twenty second.
Norman Sr. Sees a Quit Job Coming
He says that Haney (32-0, 16 KOs) isn’t going to have the opportunity to take what Norman Jr’s (28-0, 22 KOs) goes to be dispensing of their co-feature fight on the ANB Arena in Riyadh. Norman Sr. says Haney may decide to get “disqualified” to take the simple way out, like a sneak.
That’s a technique that some fighters take once they’re getting the living daylights beaten out of them. They intentionally get disqualified, after which muddy the water by blaming the referee for unfairly stopping the fight, turning it right into a conspiracy.
No Way Out for Haney
“He’s going to beat him up either way, but Devin isn’t going to take what he’s going to present him,” said Brian Norman Sr. to MillCity Boxing about how Devin Haney won’t have the opportunity to take the punishment that WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. dishes out on November twenty second.
Norman Sr. believes there’s nothing Haney can do to avoid what’s going to occur to him on this fight. Running across the ring, like he did against Jose Ramirez, it’s going to work on November twenty second. He states that Brian Jr. is the larger fighter with the longer reach.
So, if Haney tried to beat him up from the surface, he’s going to get pieced up using that strategy. In other words, Devin has no alternative but to face and fight Norman Jr, and hope for the perfect.
Could Devin Pull a Sneaky DQ?
“That’s why I’m attempting to work out if he’s going to attempt to get disqualified. All that running. Brian isn’t little. His fans think he’s a masterclass boxer, and once you’re a masterclass, you’re just about a perfectionist,” said Norman Sr. about Haney’s fans believing he’s the image of perfection.
Brian Sr. doesn’t say how Haney would try to get disqualified. The one thing that he could do to get DQ’d is by clinching excessively and refusing to let go. That’s not something that might result in Haney being disqualified, though. If the referee is a top quality one, he’ll deduct points from him if he chooses to carry as much as he did against Ryan Garcia. He stood and watched all of the holding by Haney. That strategy saved him from being knocked out by Ryan.
Haney’s Size Advantage Gone
“It’s as basic as hell. You’re in there with a bit a** guy, and also you’re knocking the hell out of him from a distance,” said Norman Sr. about Haney’s not being technically sensible. He’s just been greater than his opponents. I’m glad Devin Haney is feeling confident.”
When Haney fought at 135 and 140, he was the larger fighter than his opponents. In his last fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2, 2025, he didn’t have the scale advantage. He won that fight because the previous WBC and WBO light welterweight champion Ramirez, 33, was painfully slow. Also, Ramirez fought like he had no ambition and just got here for the payday.
