Brian Norman Jr. vs Devin Haney: Who Goes Home a Champion?
Multi-divisional champion Devin “The Dream” Haney and WBO welterweight champion Brian “The Assassin II” Norman Jr. will do battle on in Saudi Arabia on November 22. Will Haney secure his next belt or will Norman Jr. put the former champion in his place?
Haney could be seen as the favorite due to his boxing ability. However, he showed a lack of ring IQ in the no-contest fight against Ryan Garcia. He then came under heavy criticism for a lackluster performance against former junior welterweight champion Jose Ramirez. Several pundits and fans believe The Dream is still shellshocked from being knocked down repeatedly in the Garcia fight.
Norman is coming off a sensational win over Jin Sasaki on June 19. The Assassin shocked the world by stopping Giovanni Santillan in 2024. This will be his third title defense, and he is confident in his ability to stop Haney in their upcoming bout. Furthermore, he will enter the fight with a significant advantage in power.
Both fighters have a lot to prove, and the winner could go on to a big unification bout next.
I appreciate the honesty and openness in your writing.
