Devin Haney has been accused of ducking Brian Norman Jr. with a preemptive “price” comment

Fans are roasting Devin Haney on social media to predict that Brian Norman Jr. will “price” for the fight for the WBO welterweight title. Haney says Norman Jr. is using his name to attract attention this Thursday night in Japan’s fight against Jin Sasaki.

Fans see Haney’s excuse

People think this is a way to remove Weesel from Honey (32-0, 15 Kos) fighting (27-0, 21 Kos) Excuse for first goal Before the attempted negotiations. Norman Jr. was 24 years old and a big puncher on both hands, so if he takes it, it would be a dangerous fight for Devin.

Brian Jr. is not like Shopwarn Jose Ramirez, who was defeated by Haney in a highly critical performance in New York City’s Times Square last May. If this were Ryan Garcia, Haney would not have predicted his pricing as a way to get out of fighting him. He was pushing the fight. It shows how different Haneys would act if it were the fight he wanted.

Devin should fight Brian Norman Jr. Because if he can win the WBO welterweight title, he will become a three-division world champion and create more fan interest in his rematch with Kingley. Norman Jr. hits too hard and has a reputation for being dangerous after the way he destroyed his last two opponents, Derrieck Cuevas Young Santiran.

Haney’s comments about Norman Jr. fit in with how he behaves after moving to 140. He ignores potential high-risk fights with Gary Antoanne Russell, Subriel Matthias, Liam Paro and Richardson Hitchens. Honey, two fighters who fought in 140, were Ryan Garcia and 36-year-old Regis Progrey. He was a favorite in both of those fights.

Hitchens is about to fight him next, but it’s doubtful that will happen as he announces he is a free agent. To get Haney to get interested in fighting the Hitchens, he will need a big wallet. The Hitchens do not have a fan base and cannot sell tickets. Therefore, without Turki Aralsif, there will not be a battle between them.

He sets the price himself. I saw this play before. Use my name to promote his fight
