Haney Must Be Perfect To Survive Brian Norman Jr.’s Power

Trainer Buddy McGirt States That Devin Haney Must Be Perfect For Him To Defeat Wide Wo Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr. In Their Fight on November 22 in Riyadh.

McGirt Warns of One-Punch Danger

McGirt Says The Former Two-Division World Champion Haney (32-0, 16 Kos) has got to be running on “All 12 cylinders” Because Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 kos) has “One Punch” Power. He Doesn’t Need to Land Combinations to Knock Out HIS Opponents.

Norman Jr. Can Wreck Haney’s Career, Knocking Him Out and Finishing What Ryan Garcia Started Last Year In The Beatdown He administered to Him. Despite dropping Haney Three Times, Ryan Was Unable to Finish Him Due to His Poor Stamina. IF Norman Hurts Haney, He’s A Great Finisher and Will Likely End It Quickly.

Knowing How Powerful Norman Jr. Is, It’s Just Surprising That Haney Agreed to Fight Him. Haney Must Felt Some Sort Of Way When Turkey AleShikh Offered An Opponent.

Haney vs. Norman Jr. Are Fighting in the Co-Feature Slot on The David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde Card on November 22 at The Anb Arena in Riyadh. The Event Will Be Shown Live on Dazn PPV.

Buddy McGirt’s Technical Breakdown of the Matchup

“All 12 Cylinders. He has a Bigger Man Millcity Boxing About Devin Haney Needing To Be Perfect When Heights Brian Norman Jr. On November 22nd. “So, Haney has to be running on All Cylinders.”

Haney has Little Choice But to Fight in the Same Way He did in His Last Contest Against Jose Ramirez. He’s literally going to the Run The Run The Entire Fight to Avoid Getting Clipped by Norman Jr. Because This Guy is a Murderous Puncher With Either Hand.

Turki Alalshikh Came Out with No Tom and Jerry Mandate Following The Fatal Fury On May 2, 2025, in New York. That was the One That Haney Turned Into A Classic Definition by Staying On The Move The Entire Fight, Trying Not to Get Hit by The Former WBC and WBO Light Welterweight Champion Ramirez.

Devin Haney’s Tactical Keys vs. Norman Jr.

“Everything to be on Point. Offense, Foot Movement, And Head Movement. He can’t do That’s Against A Guy Like Norman. Hey Him Hit this Guy, and I’m Like, ‘Holy S ***. Damn, ‘”said McGirt about Giovani Santilla.

Devin has downplayed Norman Jr’s Threat Level, saying Heesn’t Know Any Of The Guys He’s Fought. At The Same Time, He’s Talked About His Experience Against Top-Level Fighters. Haney Does Have An Advantage in That Arena. But not that big of One. The Top Fighters of The Top Fighters Haney Fought Were Past Their Prime. These Are Some SOME FAIGHTERS DEVIN HAS FAUGHT:

• Jose Ramirez
• Vasily Lomachenko
• Gamboa’s yurorkis
• King of prograis
• Joseph Diaz
• Jorge Linares
• Juan Carlos Burgos

Wood’s Viewpoint: Why Haney Must Run On All Cylinders

With How Fragile Devin Loked Against Ryan Garcia, He’s Got to Be Near Perfect for Him to Avoid Getting Cought By Norman Jr. And Blasted to Andromeda Galaxy by Norman Jr. He Doesn’t Have The Mandible to Take The Kinds of Shots That Brian Jr. Is going to be unloading on Him if he stands and Fights The Way He Did Againt Vasily Lomachenko in 2023.

Haney looked rattled mentally in His Last Fight Against Jose Ramirez, Seemingly Dealing With War Flashbacks From The Bad Experience He Had Against Ryan. The Way Devin Fought Against Ramirez, He’s Not Going To Be Able To Pull Himself Together For The Norman Jr. Fight.

As Such, I Picture Haney Running All over The Ring Nonstop, Leaving Turki AlaLSkik Fuming in the Front Row, Regretting Using Him for This Event. It’s Not Enough For Turki to Remind The Fighters Not to Turn in a Tom and Jerry Performance. It’s Just Baked Into Haney From The Ordeal Against Kingry.
