    just wondering

    i know this guy that works in a deli and he gets cut once in a while
    this guy always takes crazy glue and closes the cut instantly
    so i was wondering can the cut-man use that to close cut on fighters

    i know it sounds stupid

    No, there are a limited number of coagulants that are legal to use in the fighter's corner, and crazy glue isn't one of them. That said, the stuff they actually use should work better than crazy glue. If you crazy glued a cut that was swelling, getting hit there would just open up a new cut next to the glue because of the additional tension. What cutmen actually use causes the blood to coagulate in the cut, which is just as effective really.

    My dad was bitten by a shark he caught when fishing off the Arabian Gulf. All they had on board was insulation tape. It worked a treat. The boat's engines packed and they were stranded for hours trying to get back, with his fist taped up:lol:

    Yeah I have heard of closing a cut with crazy glue, but you can't use it in a fight hell no. You can only use approved chemicals to stop the bleeding. I never seen a corner man try to actually close a cut. Is that even legal??

    I dont think that it would work even if you were allowed to because of all the sweat.

    I wish cuts weren't a factor in boxing at all, but they are. I hate seeing fights decided by a chance cut or a headbutt.
