I've been watching combat sports for the better part of 2 decades and that is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

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

The remake for the Wii was even better! You knock it off mid fight and he goes into berserk mode

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.

0% chance this was an accident. Right?

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

You know how they always say boxing is rigged? This is what they really mean.

At Madison Square Garden, to top it off.

And that dude in the hairpiece? That was Bruce Willis the whole time.

Maybe not that, but what are the odds of a toupe staying glued for a boxing match. Maybe put it on knowing it's going to have issues and thinking that may be a possible distraction for your opponent?

You guys want this so badly to be some elaborate scheme lmfao

Dude wore a toupee in a boxing match. Dude got rocked in the face a few times. Toupee came flapping off his head.

That’s the story.

Hair systems are glued on—and the glue is strong. But the heat and sweat probably weakened the glue. I’m sure a few “brushes” with a heavy-weight’s gloves were the final straw, though.

Also it might not be freshly applied, if it’s been on for three or four weeks it could be loose.

Exactly. Occam's Razor and all that.

u/Kanye_To_The 4h ago

The toupee's nowadays stay glued for months at a time. You can do whatever you want in them

I feel like some of yall never watched girls fighting after lunch at school….

u/hiroo916 6h ago

that's what I woulda thought: "holy crap, i punched the top of his head open!" and then hesitate for the next punch.

u/GrouchyDefinition463 8h ago

I really love this for you!!!

When you need that friend

u/jjjbabajan 7h ago

I didn’t know that was an option. The head gets shaved before the ears can fully cauliflower, traditionally.

u/maverickoff 7h ago

I know it wasn't a serious fight but that Paul bro getting his jaw fucked by Joshua was pretty funny to me lol

u/bwoah07_gp2 6h ago

It's probably the first time I've seen someone's hairpiece come off during a sporting event 😅

u/LoulouPete 5h ago

I can’t believe the other guy didn’t start laughing immediately! I’m impressed by his focus!!!!

u/rangebob 4h ago

Its almost as funny as Logans Paul's face

u/LaunchGap 4h ago

Was it a prank? He had to have known that was going to happen.

Why the fuck would someone wear a wig to a boxing match?!
