The result of which can lead to the fight being stopped and that fighter losing. And between rounds, if a fighter does receive a cut, then vaseline will be applied to the area by the cutman using their finger. But vaseline on its own is not enough to stop heavy bleeding. So the cutman will also use some coagulant to help restrict the blood vessels and stem the blood flow.
So a coagulant such as adrenaline chloride applied using a cotton swab. Is then used in conjunction with the vaseline. To help both stop the blood and at the same time seal the wound. Along with Vaseline, a cutman will have some other essential tools in their bag to help prevent bleeding and swelling.
These consist of:. So all of the above are used in combination with Vaseline to help prevent or minimise damage to a fighter during a fight.
