The fans who order the November 22nd event on DAZN<\/a> PPV won\u2019t be happy if Haney runs from Norman Jr. for 12 rounds. They want value for their money, and they would have to depend on the other fights on the card, providing that if Devin turns in another Jerry-esque performance like he turned in against Jose Ramirez on May 2 on Turki Alalshikh\u2019s Times Square card.<\/p>\n Haney\u2019s Strength Is Clinching<\/p>\n \u201cHis punches aren\u2019t that strong, but his body is. I don\u2019t see him [Haney] knocking him out. I have Devin by decision,\u201d said Regis. \u201cYou got to look at resumes. You have to look at the level of competition. Devin did fight the better people. Brian Norman does have a lot of power. He seems like he has good footwork, too.\u201d<\/p>\n What Prograis seems to be driving at when he talks about Haney\u2019s body being strong is the clinching he does. When he holds, he\u2019s got his opponents in a vice-like grip to prevent them from wriggling free to nail him with shots or hit him while they\u2019re being held. So, they\u2019re forced to wait until the referee breaks. Haney\u2019s constant clinching is a significant part of his defense because when he gets trapped, he grabs to prevent being hit.<\/p>\n Will Haney Repeat the Ramirez Blueprint?<\/p>\n \u201cI have Devin because he\u2019s the better boxer. It\u2019s not fighting. It is boxing. He\u2019s fast on his feet and has quick punches. Another thing is Devin doesn\u2019t care about people booing. He doesn\u2019t care about how it\u2019s going to look. He\u2019ll win by whatever it takes. So, he can just run around like in his last fight with [Jose] Ramirez. He just ran around the ring for 12 rounds. It wasn\u2019t too much action,\u201d said Prograis.<\/p>\n Ramirez looked much older than his 33 years and didn\u2019t seem to try to go all out to get to Haney. Norman Jr. will make more of an effort because he wants to win, and he\u2019s young at 24. He\u2019ll take chances if Haney runs all night like he did against Ramirez.<\/p>\n Ken Woods has been a senior writer at Boxing News 24 since 2013, covering the sport from every angle.
