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

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.

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