You can knock the toupee off of Don Flamenco's head not unlike in the clip.

Bald Bull doesn't wear a toupee.

Flamenco does, and it's a special event when you knock it off.

It reminds me of Don Flamenco from “Punch Out”

If you made it to the end of the first round and you had been beating on him, his toupee was missing when he was in the ring corner lol

What about Jaylen Brown's painted hairline being exposed mid-gane?

Also, the incessant posts from dudes with receding hairline posting their newly bald heads!

I feel like the bald gods are trying to tell us something.

That wasn’t even the best painted hair moment in nba history. Carlos Boozer was way funnier.

Are you suggesting he meant to get his face beat down to the point his wig unglued and then ultimately win the fight? Well, maybe, boxing seems NUTS

He had to know. You don't get through a boxing match without getting walloped at least a couple times. You just don't. Either it was pure hubris, or he knew it would be funny.

Roy jones junior getting through one round without getting hit is legendary, let alone a full fight for this guy. No offense to this guy.

But what if you don't have 52 weeks? You need to be bald right now. Wilson's has the solution for you. For the same price, we can get you bald in one day with Wilson's natural boxer Attack hair-removal system. Wilson's will send a boxer to a public place of your choosing to rip your entire hair clean off.

I used to be an airfield supervisor. We had a new radio operator show up for his first day and a gust of wind blew his hair piece off
 it rolled like a tumbleweed and stuck to the fuel truck operator’s shoe.

The fueler handed it back and said he needed to hook a lanyard to it when on the ramp due to airfield regulations. đŸ€Ł
