FightHype<\/a>, former multi-weight ruler Roy Jones Jr backed Haney quite clearly, though did warn of Romero\u2019s \u2018abnormal\u2019 power, making a rare comparison to British enigma \u2018Prince\u2019 Naseem Hamed.<\/p>\n\u201cRolly\u2019s only chance is if he can get lucky and hit Haney, which I doubt he can do. I think Haney beats him, but Rolly does have a puncher\u2019s chance. What people fail to realise is Rolly is not your everyday, average boxer, but he has abnormal punching power. He hits anybody, he can knock them out. He\u2019s like Prince Naseem, just not quite as skillful as Prince Naseem. Same kind of punching power, though.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis boxing IQ ain\u2019t the best, that\u2019s why they underestimate him, but his punching power is beyond best. It\u2019s abnormal \u2026 It makes it kind of balance out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Romero\u2019s confidence will be boosted by the fact that when Haney faced Garcia, he was dropped three times and suffered a points loss on the night. However, the result was later overturned to a no contest after Garcia tested positive for a banned substance.<\/p>\n
The winner of this match-up, should Bill Haney\u2019s assurance come good, sets up a rematch with Garcia, who won the WBC belt from Mario Barrios last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Devin Haney looks set for a welterweight unification fight against Rolando Romero.
