    Norman by tko6.

    Haney is gonna realize very quickly that he's not in the right division. He's huge as a LW, but JWW is kinda a ruse because his only fights at JWW was against a small, old JWW that couldn't pull the trigger, then a fellow LW who humbled him (no contest be damned). Norman is a big WW, as an example, he and Regis are both the same height but Norman is more broad across the shoulders. He carries more size.

    I can see this as being a second disaster for Haney. Haney legit aims at some tall tasks though...............I'll give him that

    Both fighters are the same size so there's no physical advantages ,also there's no question Haney has the superior boxing skills and Norman hasn't fought the level of competition that Haney has either and at the big fight level he's a bit unknown . But Haney hasn't scored a stoppage in what over 10 fights? and his power at 147 seems non existent. Prediction: I'm a little torn on this one, If Norman can cut the ring off and walk Haney down and get into the pocket he'll stop Haney around the 8th to 10th round . But if he can't get inside and Haney moves well it'll be a boring UD win for Haney. I feel it would be better for the division if Norman wins but I'll wait to see the odds before I bet,,I hope Norman is a big underdog though, that'll make wagering easier for me in this fight.

    I think Norman is going to stop him brutally, he has a mean streak in him and appears to be getting better, while Haney looks gun shy more so than usual

    Norman also looks so relaxed in there compared to Haney.

    The cattle brand is named after something Russell did at a Diddy party

    Wow pretty serious. Haney almost broke his vow of pacifism here and might not have been able to hug Brian Norman Jr. in time.

    Good thing security stepped in before a fight broke out, just like that ref from the Garcia fight. This gentle soul needs to be protected

    His only chance is to run and hold and hope the judges favor him, BNjr reminds me of someone and if he’s 80 percent of that fighter he’s gonna hurt Huggy bear.

    Haney is exactly why fighters don't fight the best he's taken on all comers yet still has haters and doesn't get the credit for it no other fighter is taking risky fights like him
