He should've been fighting Kostya Tyszu truthfully

Floyd saw what Kostya did to Zab and was like

Brian Norman Sr goes on alot of podcasts and says all the time "Me and my son are not supposed to win this fight, we are not in the plans"

It made me start thinking. This whole WBC now allowing Ryan to fight for a world title at 147. And Devin Haney also fighting or a world title at 147. They are trying to plan a big mega fight where it's a unification fight at 147 between Ryan and Devin. Brian Norman Jr is just in the way :francis::mjlol:. Hopefully they don't try any f*ck shyt for this upcoming fight

Norman has a real shot at the upset. But it also depends on which Haney shows up for this fight but even then, Norman is dangerous for anyone at 147

Me too!! I remember you weren't too high on dude & probably still aren't lol. From the Santillan fight, he's improved his countering punching & placement

Same here. I remember when he fought Bohachika and got knocked down, and got a cut as well. Thought he wasn't gonna do much in his career. That Santillan fight was in San Diego, near his hometown. Top Rank had 0 plans of Norman Jr winning lol. Rumor was he was about to get cut from Top Rank

But hey, he's young, barely 24, so I will give him grace that he was just trying to find himself. One thing though, he does have deceptive foot speed and hand speed. Devin Haney and his team said they are going to step to Brian Norman Jr and look for a knock out. We shall see lol

That was be suicide if they decided to that lol

I really think Team Haney & others are underestimating Norman's countering punching ability, timing, & his ability to punch with dudes
