Old haircut.

Recent haircut.

What's the point ? Better protection for his temples ? To look more 'humble' ?

He looks goofy.

Probably it's some kind of self-validation that he trained hard and that he's 100% focused for this fight.

Yh I remember that. Looks like a tramp. Someone asked him at the Pov presser if he was gonna cut it. He did say he was, but he didn’t.

RKO bringing out the tramp card this Wednesday :OhYes: - I feel more positive about his chances as silly as that sounds feel like he doesn't care how he gets the job done (12 round jab fest incoming) !

Is that how you look like? Then you may want to check your hormones.

1 inch hair is long? Fragile? Weak? Inside out?

If you’ve ever read the story of Samson you’ll know what AJ is tapping into. I noticed he was much stronger when he fought Povetkin and it’s no coincidence that his hair was longer.

Yeah that's sounds so childish if AJ thinks that. But if so then why AJ didn't let his hair grow like Briggs?

I heard him interviewed a couple of days ago and he said he's done it because he's trying to capture the spirit of the 70s.

He particularly cited Ron Lyle and his fight with Foreman.

Also referenced Ali and how he has worked more on his boxing technique and less on weights, strength and conditioning.

I don't really understand how having a 70s style mini afro is going to benefit him, but he seems to believe it will, so we shall see.

So he wants to pull a Ron Lyle performance and get knocked out in 5.
Ok AJ
