Commentator Chris Mannix believes that Devin Haney has a great chance to defeat the WBO WBO Norman Jr. in November. He says that the opposition with which Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KO) During his career, he is not at the level he will deal with the former world champion in two letters Haney (32-0, 15 KO).
Norman Jr. unverified?
Mannix notes that 26-year-old Haney has more experience, 10 pounds for the best 10 and knows how to fight punchers such as Norman Jr. Holy’s care as a favorite, which is surprising, considering that he is China and faces the biggest hit in the Wagiwska ward.
“It is not observed at this point. You can’t say he is winning [Giovani] Santillan, [Derrieck] Cuevas and Jin Sasaki are equivalent to Devin Haney – said Chris Mannix Boxing DAZN About Master WBO Wytreight Brian Norman Jr., did not face the level of fighters who can compare with what Devin Haney intends.
Norman guys Jr. Recently they fought, they are not as talented as Haney, but everyone has better impact power. Even Sasaki has more pop in his shots than Devin, and his chin is also at a different level. Demanding shots that Sasaki shot against Norman on June 19 would easily eliminate Haney.
“I think that the fight against Ramirez was less than 147 years antique. It will be full 147 pounds. I think it will be better.”
Haney looked like shells in his fight with leisurely ones, his best Jose Ramirez passed in May last year. He did not want to get involved with him at all, and he is not half the impact, which is 24-year-old Brian Norman Jr. If Devin did not want to stand and fight with Ramirez, it will be even more when he feels the power of Norman Jr. in the first round.
Doubts of the resistance to the impact
“When you take more weight to your body, you are better for it. He will probably have a better chin,” said Mannix about Haney. “If Brian Norman joins the way he did with Jin Sasaki, it’s over. He’ll be a handful for Brian Norman.”
Establishing a greater weight is not a guarantee that the warrior will have better impact resistance. This is the story of antique wives. Many fighters who have been knocked out say that their impact resistance will be better when they rise. When they rise, they are still knocked out. It is worse for them because they become harder when they move up. We will probably see it with Haney, who will face the biggest hit in his career, Norman Jr.
Is Haney P4P TOP 10?
“We’ll find out in this fight if he is a real opportunity. He looked really good against opponents B and C. Let’s see what a guy looks like [Haney] With real talent of 10 pounds per pounds. “
Let’s explain it straight. Haney is not a real 10-pound warrior for a pound. Mannix goes out side with Devin’s praise, classifying him as a ten 10 pounds per pounds. Devin’s last two fights have shown that he is a warrior at level B, and maybe not even to be when he finally moved to 147.
Norman Jr. It will show if Haney is a warrior at the highest level in welterweight, or simply another of many former persecutors who are brought to the ground when they move up, where they no longer have the advantage of size.
Haney should have been fighting 147 years ago, but he was able to drain to 135 and 140 to operate his additional size to dominate the opposition. Only two good fighters, Vasily Lomachenko and Ryan Garcia, fought in those years and probably lost to both.
Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.
Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”
Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through.
Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.
