Boxing - now with frilly fringes?
I was channel surfing and a boxing match on Eurosport caught my eye. Not the fight itself, never been into boxing, but rather the fighters’ apparel. Fringes. Like those lining the edges of the kind of lampshades grandmothers prefer. Loads of them. One of the fighters had one fringe around the waist of his trunks, and another two forming an inverted “U” over his butt and down the thighs. Like a circus costume designer’s idea of “Native American”. And he was the one who had chosen the moderate approach! The other pugilist must have had three rows around the waist, and the sides of his trunks were totally covered with the stuff. Like 20 centimeter wide patches cut out of a cheap Yeti costume.
What’s up with that?
