Brian Norman Sr. predicts that Devin Haney is going to get \u201cbeat\u201d no matter what he tries against WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. on November 22nd.<\/p>\n
Norman Sr. Sees a Quit Job Coming<\/p>\n
He says that Haney (32-0, 16 KOs) isn\u2019t going to be able to take what Norman Jr\u2019s (28-0, 22 KOs) is going to be dishing out in their co-feature fight at the ANB Arena in Riyadh. Norman Sr. says Haney may choose to get \u201cdisqualified\u201d to take the easy way out, like a sneak.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a strategy that some fighters take when they\u2019re getting the living daylights beaten out of them. They intentionally get disqualified, and then muddy the water by blaming the referee for unfairly stopping the fight, turning it into a conspiracy.<\/p>\n
No Way Out for Haney<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to beat him up either way, but Devin isn\u2019t going to take what he\u2019s going to give him,\u201d said Brian Norman Sr. to MillCity Boxing<\/a> about how Devin Haney won\u2019t be able to take the punishment that WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. dishes out on November 22nd.<\/p>\n Norman Sr. believes there\u2019s nothing Haney can do to avoid what\u2019s going to happen to him in this fight. Running around the ring, like he did against Jose Ramirez, it\u2019s going to work on November 22nd. He states that Brian Jr. is the bigger fighter with the longer reach.<\/p>\n So, if Haney tried to beat him up from the outside, he\u2019s going to get pieced up using that strategy. In other words, Devin has no choice but to stand and fight Norman Jr, and hope for the best.<\/p>\n Could Devin Pull a Sneaky DQ?<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m trying to figure out if he\u2019s going to try to get disqualified. All that running. Brian is not little. His fans think he\u2019s a masterclass boxer, and when you\u2019re a masterclass, you\u2019re pretty much a perfectionist,\u201d said Norman Sr. about Haney\u2019s fans believing he\u2019s the picture of perfection.<\/p>\n Brian Sr. doesn\u2019t say how Haney would attempt to get disqualified. The only thing that he could do to get DQ\u2019d is by clinching excessively and refusing to let go. That\u2019s not something that would lead to Haney being disqualified, though. If the referee is a quality one, he\u2019ll deduct points from him if he chooses to hold as much as he did against Ryan Garcia. He stood and watched all the holding by Haney. That strategy saved him from being knocked out by Ryan.<\/p>\n Haney\u2019s Size Advantage Gone<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s as basic as hell. You\u2019re in there with a little a** guy, and you\u2019re knocking the hell out of him from a distance,\u201d said Norman Sr. about Haney\u2019s not being technically brilliant. He\u2019s just been bigger than his opponents. I\u2019m glad Devin Haney is feeling confident.\u201d<\/p>\n When Haney fought at 135 and 140, he was the bigger fighter than his opponents. In his last fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2, 2025, he didn\u2019t have the size advantage. He won that fight because the former WBC and WBO light welterweight champion Ramirez, 33, was painfully slow. Also, Ramirez fought like he had no ambition and just came for the payday.<\/p>\n Since 2014, Olly Campbell has brought readers clear ringside perspective and a steady voice on boxing\u2019s biggest nights.<\/p>\n Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb – An Analyst’s Perspective<\/a> \u00bb \u201cHe Might Try to Get Disqualified\u201d: Brian Norman Sr. Doubts Devin Haney Can Survive His Son\u2019s Power<\/p>\n Last Updated on 11\/03\/2025 \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Norman Sr. predicts that Devin Haney is going to get \u201cbeat\u201d no matter what he tries against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-242446","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
