OPENING SHOT A HAIRPIECE COMBO: If you’ve watched enough boxing, you become accustomed to crazy. Who remembers Paulie Malignaggi having his hair cut in the corner because his braids hampered his vision, leaving him wide open for punches from Lovemore N’dou in their 2008 rematch? That was an unforgettable moment. Still, when heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller had his toupee dislodged in the opening round of his bout against Kingsley Ibeh, we broke new ground. At the end of the opening three minutes, Miller grabbed the unstable hairpiece from his head and tossed it into the MSG crowd amid thunderous laughter. The follicly challenged but undeterred American still managed to secure victory by posting a 10-round split decision.
