At Madison Square Garden, boxer Jarrell Miller won a split decision over Kingsley Ibeh — but the night's lasting image had nothing to do with the scorecard. A punch in round two sent his hairpiece airborne, and rather than retreat into embarrassment, Miller removed it himself, laughed, and threw it into the crowd. In that small, unscripted gesture, he offered something sports rarely delivers so cleanly: the grace of a person who refuses to be diminished by an unexpected moment.
