The awkward moment did not affect Miller's performance. The experienced boxer, known for his multi-hit combinations, consistently delivered short punches of varying effectiveness, but it was enough to persuade two judges of his victory.
This moment could have undermined Miller's confidence and focus, but instead he regained control of the situation by tearing the wig off his head and tossing it into the crowd. The wig was caught by WBO heavyweight titleholder Fabio Wardley, who was watching the fight ringside.
