Devin Haney Vs. Brian Norman Jr.: Haney’s Experience And Higher-Level Resistance Secret To November Face-off Triumph

Expert Chris Mannix believes Devin Haney has a phenomenal possibility of defeating WBO welterweight champ Brian Norman Jr. in November. He claims that the resistance that Norman Jr. (28 -0, 22 KOs) has actually taken care of throughout his line of work is out the degree of what he’ll be managing versus the previous two-division world champ Haney (32 -0, 15 KOs).

Norman Jr. Untested?

Mannix bears in mind that Haney, 26, has a lot more experience, a pound-for-pound leading 10, and recognizes just how to combat punchers like Norman Jr. The oddsmakers have Haney as a chosen, which is surprising considered that he’s chinny and experiencing the best puncher in the welterweight division.

“He’s untried at this point. You can’t claim that gains [Giovani] Santillan, [Derrieck] Cuevas, and Jin Sasaki are equivalent to Devin Haney,” mentioned Chris Mannix to DAZN Boxing worrying WBO welterweight champ Brian Norman Jr. not having in fact encountered the degree of competitors that can contrast to what he will Devin Haney.

The people Norman Jr. has in fact battled just recently aren’t as talented as Haney, nonetheless they all have far better boxing power. Also Sasaki has a lot more appear his shots than Devin, and his chin gets on one more degree additionally. The challenging shots Sasaki took versus Norman on June 19 th would certainly have comfortably knocked senseless Haney.

“I think the fight with Ramirez was under 147 This will go to a full 147 pounds. I believe he’s mosting likely to be better.”

Haney looked shellshocked in his catchweight fight versus the slow-moving, previous his finest Jose Ramirez last Might. He was totally immune to entail versus him, and he’s not half the puncher that the 24 -year-old Brian Norman Jr. is. If Devin was reluctant to stand and battle Ramirez, he’s probably to be a whole lot much more so when he really feels the power of Norman Jr. in the initial.

Strike Resistance Unpredictabilities

“When you put more weight on you’re body, you’re far better for that. He’s most likely mosting likely to have a far better chin,” declared Mannix concerning Haney. “If Brian Norman connects like he did against Jin Sasaki, it’s over. He’s mosting likely to be a handful for Brian Norman.”

Placing even more weight on is no guarantee that a rival will absolutely have far better strike resistance. That’s an old partners’ story. A lot of fighters that have in fact been knocked ridiculous state their strike resistance will absolutely be far better when they increase. When they do go up, they’re still obtaining knocked senseless. It becomes worse for them considering that they’re obtaining struck tougher when they increase in weight. We’re more than likely going to that with Haney, that is encountering the best puncher in his work, Norman Jr.

Is Haney P 4 P Leading 10

“We’re mosting likely to figure out in this battle if he’s the real offer. He’s looked really good versus B and C opponents. Let’s see exactly how he looks versus a guy [Haney] with genuine leading 10 pound-for-pound skill.”

Allow’s obtain this straight. Haney is NOT a real leading 10 pound-for-pound rival. Mannix is going way over the leading with his appreciation of Devin by determining him as leading 10 pound-for-pound fighter. Devin’s last 2 fights exposed that he’s a B-level rival, and he might not also be that considering that he’s inevitably increased to 147

Norman Jr. is probably to expose whether Haney is a top-tier fighter at welterweight or simply one more amongst the lots of ex-weight harasses that are brought down to planet when they go up in weight, where they no more have a measurement advantage.

Haney needs to have been fighting at 147 years earlier yet has actually had the ability to drain pipes to 135 and 140 to use his extra dimension to control the resistance. He just battled 2 outstanding competitors in those years, Vasily Lomachenko and Ryan Garcia, and possibly drop to both.
