The Cutman

What's in your ringside kit?

Enswell, a piece of cold metal to keep the swelling down. Aquaphor to stop the bleeding. Vaseline to help the glove slide off a fighter's body. Albolene, a facial cream that women use as a skin cleanser. It keeps the pores open, and I want a guy to sweat properly.

What about Q-tips?

I make my own swabs. I make 'em big so that they'll absorb a lot.

What else do you use?

I can't tell you that. I'd go to jail because a lot of the stuff I have, the doctor is supposed to have.

Then where do you get it?

I have no problem getting my stuff. I'm a retired Air Force guy. I know where to go.

What's the worst injury you've had to deal with?

Arturo Gatti had an eye injury that was open bad enough I could stick my small finger in it. James Leija got head-butted in the forehead, and I could see his skull. Cuts can go that deep.
