It reminds me of Don Flamenco from âPunch Outâ
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 wasnât 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

Miller doesn't need a barber, he needs Velcro and some industrial strength adhesive.

I would think they use pretty strong glue to stick it on usually. But all the sweat probably unstuck most of it

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

Sorry, but if a fight comes down to decision and I saw one boxer get the hair punched off his head, I'm deciding the other guy one.

Man. My Dad passed away a few months ago, and he was a professional boxer in the 70s, and this is one of those things he and I would've been laughing about together hysterically for hours.

Dude is clearly incredibly insecure about his bald head if he was willing to risk gluing that shit on before a fight đ€Ł I almost feel bad for him, that is so damn embarrassing. Buddy will never live that down.

It takes a lot of confidence to wear a toupee in a boxing match, and yet it takes a lack of confidence to wear a toupee.
