In the ninth round, Davis dropped to one knee. He wasn't floored by a punch, though. Instead, hair oil had leaked into his eyes, causing him to ask for a towel. This moment has sparked a heated debate among fans and boxing analysts who argue Davis should have been penalized for the incident.
The controversy has overshadowed the actual fight, with many claiming the unpenalized knee-taking influenced the outcome. Roach's attorney has even taken action, making a formal request to the New York State Athletic Commission to overturn the result in Roach's favor.
Amid the uproar, an unexpected player has entered the ring. Murray's Pomade, a hair product company, has urged Davis to switch up his hair game. Speaking to TMZ Sports, a spokesperson for the company said:
"Murray's Original Pomade, celebrating its 100th year, it's very thick and waxy and would not drip in those conditions. He should have used our product and would not have worried 'bout his do."
Murray's Original Pomade has been a staple in the African American community for a century. The company claims their product offers a strong hold and won't drip under heat or sweat - exactly what a boxer needs in the ring.
As the debate rages on, it's clear this hair-raising incident will be remembered long after the punches thrown in the match. Whether Davis will take Murray's advice for his next fight remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure - he'll want to avoid any more slippery situations in the future.
