BrianNorman Jr. contrasted his son’s thinking, calling him a “cold-blooded, calculating killer” in the ring compared to Devin Haney, whom he calls a “p***y” who runs and “grabs and holds.”

Norman Sr. states that Devin’s father, Bill Haney, raised a “whore”. He recalls Haney’s fight with Jorge Linares, where he held on tight while he was injured.

Norman’s icy instinct

“Brian Norman is a icy and calculating killer. He has no emotions,” Brian Norman Sr. said MillCity Boxing about his son, Brian Jr. “He’s not afraid of getting hit. When Devin Haney gets in trouble, does he hang on for dear life? We’ve seen it. That’s who he is. Brian Norman doesn’t do that. He stands there and fights.”

Few fans would argue that Norman Jr. he is not a “icy, calculating killer.” This has always been his fighting style. He tries to destroy his opponents without remorse. He is a classic example of an emotional soldier.

Haney was forced to hang on to survive in his fights with Ryan Garcia and Jorge Linares. If it weren’t for the clinching he did in those fights, he probably would have been knocked out.

He raised a killer

“One of us, between me and Bill Haney, grew up in the ring. One of us raised a killer in the ring. When he [Haney] he enters the ring, he’s pissed. He ran away from [Jose] Ramirez. He held on and grabbed on [Jorge] Linares. Devin Haney filed a lawsuit to have the loss removed from his records. They are trying desperately to keep that O,” Norman Sr. said.

Devin is not a boxer and never will be. This is what is called a “fine fighter” with a striking, moving and holding style. It’s basically a watered down version of the ancient style that Floyd Mayweather Jr used. during his career, when he was still physically fit.

Clinching has been a gigantic part of Haney’s game since the Linares fight on May 29, 2021. Devin was injured in round 10 with a right hand and then a right-left combination. For the remainder of the 12-round fight, Haney held steadily.

Ryan showed the way

Norman Jr. he will need to develop a strategy to deal with the constant clinching that Haney is doing for him in order to get his shots on November 22. Ryan Garcia took advantage of Haney’s hold, timing him with a low check left hook as he reached out to grab him. In this way, he harmed him many times.

If Devin had stopped holding on, he would have been in a better position after initially getting wobbled in the first round. He failed. The constant hold had become too ingrained in Haney’s style for him to adapt in this fight. Considering his last fight against Jose Ramirez took place on May 2, 2025, he still uses this tactic as a method to neutralize his opponent’s attack.

Bill fell still

“Once it’s completely on that canvas, his daddy will be standing there with his cock in his hand. I think that’s why Bill doesn’t talk much. He learned from it,” Norman Sr. said about Bill learning from all the nonsense and predictions he made ahead of Devin’s April 20, 2024 fight with Ryan Garcia.

Before the Haney-Ryan megafight last year in April, Bill made outrageous predictions. He was one of them, “I’m sending Devin in there to literally kill him” It didn’t work out well for Haney, as Kingry dropped him three times by 12-round majority decision. The fight could have ended in the seventh round when Devin was on his feet after being dropped by a left hook from Ryan.

The referee stopped the action and penalized Garcia for punching during the break. No warning was given before points were deducted. This low break could have saved Haney from being punched out by Ryan.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
