Cutmen -- Strong Feelings?

[Ray Corso]

When I first started working corners as a freelancer I used Adrenalin 100 because thats what was avalible to us without a doctors help. Then Adrenalin 1000 was thought to be better and some including me did a mix of the two!
As time went on we started using Epinephrine which is still used today to help with the outer tissues then try to lay Avitene inside the opening to hopefully coagulate. I also used hard vasiline (cold) into the cut (not deep) and soft vasoline to cover over whatever work is done.
A quick help for bloody nose bleeds that won't stop is to apply pressure in front of the top teeth up tight to the highest point of the gums. Rolled up gause placed up in there and light pressure can work. Its the same method that the early fighters used as their mouth pieces and would spit them out from round to round! That will usually stop the flow unless theres heavy damage done to the vessels.

Ofcourse without a connection your not getting Avitene or Epin and I'm not sure that Ad.100 is avalible to the public either! Any gym and trainer worth their salt is tied into atleast two doctors to help with the fighters health and safety. Ray.

i like stitch duran, he does alot of UFC fights and is the cutman for the Klitschko brothers and Andre Ward.....and a few others i believe.


why do some Cutmen try to rub out swelling? don't they know it just causes more trauma to the area? boggles my mind

The best in the world is Stitch Duran. He works in MMA. Those guys get hit with elbows and open fingers. Cuts are more frequent, and worse.

He works with Wladimir Klitschko as well. Of course, Wladimir never actually gets hit.

Thank you, NE. Not being much of an MMA guy, I confess that this was a new name for me. Appreciate the education.

Bob Miller is a really good cut man.
