Any fights that you can remember where a fighter's hair became an issue? I think I remember Bramble having an issue with his hair in a fight once.

I think Joe Frazier went for "psyche value" vs Foreman in their second time around. Didn't help much.

I thought I saw Shannon Briggs have a problem in one fight where his hair was slappin into his face. Maybe I have that wrong but I seem to have a bit of a memory of something along those lines.

hmmm... maybe I'll have to drag that old VHS tape out and take a second look. Could of sworn that net went around the participants and not between them. But my vision aint what it used to be.

I don't know, Serena's quite a bit more attractive than Briggs. No facial hair either. If you're looking for a boxer with huge boobs, maybe ur thinking of Greg Page?

Ken Norton fought Pedro Lovell in the 70's and hit him with an uppercaut in I think the 4th or 5th round and Lovell's haipiece detaches from his forehead and then then lands perfectly back on his head, very amusing.

To Lovell it probably wasn't so amusing. :wink: :wink:
