A curious incident led to victory in a boxing match. Video – Boxing/MMA

November 8 at Scope arena in Norfolk (USA), during a middleweight boxing match between Austin DeAnda (16-0-0) and DeAundre Pettus (12-2-0), a curious incident occurred, Sports.kz reports.

In the third round, DeAnda, after a series of missed blows from his opponent, realized that his long hair was preventing him from fighting effectively. The boxer's mentor was not at a loss, took the scissors and cut his hair right on the spot.

– If you’re going to cut it, at least cut it evenly! — the fighter joked.

“I’m not a hairdresser,” the coach responded.

After the haircut, the American pulled himself together and won the meeting, maintaining impeccable statistics – 16 victories in 16 fights.
