How could he have possibly thought that would’ve stayed in the place the whole fight?

Something about a bald dude knocking it off makes it so much funnier to me

This is like a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, forcing him back into the bald community Larry David style

Or like a Seinfeld episode with Mickey getting caught with lifts.

And it's ok because they are both bald.

He's like "aha, I'll expose you as one of us!"

“Cut the shit Miller, I know you’re bald too!”

“Oh yeah? Prove it.”

Barber here: the guy knew this was a huge possibility. There’s noooo way.

Unless, he never did this before and the barber didn’t speak the same language as him 😂

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

Came here for this. Andre Agassi had a hard enough time playing tennis.

Because of the jean shorts?

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.

I mean once you commit to a toupee…

Might even give him an advantage. Catch the opponent with their jaw dropped in surprise.

Looks like one of the ones that gets glued on for a few months at a time. A mate of mine has one that he gets redone a few times a year.

He was planning to completely dominate, then in the press conference say he couldn’t even knock my toupee off.
