    Haney is a cure for insomnia. Even when he scores a rare KD and fights someone who is possibly close to his size for the first time he's sending me to sleep and he's hugging like a lonely octopus

    Norman looked good in the couple of fights of his I've seen but once again people get carried away by a fighter who hasn't actually beaten anyone who was genuine world class

    Imagine what Super Boots would've done to Haney? He would've decapitated him

    Thank the lord for Noakes and Mason both showing up and providing entertainment for us

    Bam-Rod did too but his opponent was just a walking punchbag

    Funny thing is that the next time we see both Garcia and Haney In the ring together it could be to unify 2 belts in the WW division.

    Well, most people was sure that Norman would beat Haney by KO, because Haney was so fragile. The opposite is happening, Haney dropped Norman and he's winning.

    Should have known about Norman’s lack of versatility. He looks great against face first brawlers like Santillan and Sasaki but against boxers he’s clueless.

    Norman has gotten back into this fight. That was a clear round for him.

    If Haney threw more right hands he could probably end this.

    When Norman steps in Haney is looking to counter or clinch. Norman needs to take a half-step in, a step out, and then counter as Haney himself tries to counter. This is a classic case of a puncher falling into the trap of a spoiler, and allowing them to smother his work.

    Norman landed some good power punches in the 7th, Haney did not seem to enjoy them.

    Haney is just all wrong for Norman.

    He'd look much better against the Rolly's, Garcia's, Benn's, Crocker's of this world.
