Bad Left Hook unofficially scored the bout 116-111 for Haney, who improves to 33-0 (15 KO).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Haney\u2019s knockdown wasn\u2019t a mega-hard shot or anything, but it was well-timed and he caught Norman (28-1, 22 KO) open and over-committed to his own attempts at big offense. From there, we just didn\u2019t see Norman press his usual aggression, and frankly the pace, tempo, and style of the fight was pretty much all Haney, with Norman looking a bit under-prepared for the level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIn 2024, I lost everything, everything came crashing on me. In 2025, I came to get it back. In 2026, I\u2019m coming for everything,\u201d Haney said. \u201cAfter I hurt (Norman) and dropped him, he made an adjustment, so we had to adjust to that, as well. He\u2019s a true champion, he\u2019s definitely better than I expected, and I give him credit and thank him for the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Devin Haney shut down some skeptics and proved some doubters wrong, taking the WBO welterweight title in his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":398264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[98059,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-398263","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-boxing-results","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115596841826749946","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=398263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/398263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/398264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=398263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=398263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=398263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
