What can anyone tell me about the "vaseline" used on the faces of fighters in attempt to prevent them from getting cut? Does anyone know where it's available for purchase?

Yeah, there is no special kind of petroleum jelly out there for cuts that I know of. I've always used the brand Vaseline.

KY jelly is what Amat and Bilbo use. Fenster recommends astroglide.

I'm sure it isn't just vaseline that you buy over-the-counter at your local drug store. Emanuel Steward has had interesting pieces on HBO about all three major types used by the best trainers. The price ranges for these are around $70 per bottle. I know one is called avotene or something close to that..just wondering if anyone else knew any details?

Petroleum Jelly, people add things because they think its a new idea. Mentioned this before, before a Title fight we got this guy in because He was our connection in the States. Now He had World Champs on His Portfolio, so when asked if He could Vaseline the fighter I agreed. Two minutes later there was a scream from the Fighter saying He was Blind couldnt see. I asked what was in the vaseline He sheepishly said Newskin, I thought what a prick 15 minutes to go and Ive got a blind Fighter. I laid the Kid down and put slowly into the eye Adrenalin 1/1000 He said what will that do. My reply its the best eyewash there is, He Oh I didnt know that, Me no I dont suppose you did you thick cunt. The kid won. Another thing why put vaseline in a cut, how is the Adrenalin going to work

Yeah, you can get it at about any drug store. Ringside sells a 13oz tub of it for $4.
I never got why they'd stuff the cut with vaseline, I figured that they thought that was the way to plug a leak.Originally Posted by Scrap

If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
