I apologize for my severe lack of knowledge in regards to boxing. My only exposure has been recently watching "The Contender" on television. I was wondering if you could tell me what the stuff is that they smear all over the boxers face during a match (looks like vasaline).
Thanks
yep,vaseline
when i read the name of this topic i didn't know weather or not to come in, sounded a bit sick ;)
what does the vasaline do?
pretty sure its to keep from getting cut and to cause punches to slide and lose some effectiveness
the pro's also have vaseline with a low% of adrenaline in it for when cut.
I thought smearing that kind of stuff was illegal...
not in my rule book

But it is illegal with the amateurs,or so I think
Probably because they've got the headgear. They really wouldn't need vasoline... :dontknow:Quote:
