With what we have to work with today, Adrenaline Hydrochloride 1-100, Thrombin and especially Avitene, you have a good chance of getting the bleeding stopped. With the old timers, it was amazing on how they stopped the bleeding. They did not have the medicines we have today. I give them all the credit in the world. The art of cuts have come along way due to the new medications.
Some guys seem to cut up walking up the ring steps and some never cut during their whole career.
Knowing the fighter going in and being ready to work on a cut can help keep the damage down. It is a problem with the whole sport of boxing. Not enough club shows. It is hard for fighters to learn their craft and gain experience in the ring. Most of the matches I make are fighters that are just starting out or much bigger fights overseas and here in the country with nothing in-between.
