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

Only excessive use.
Yeah thats why if your corner puts too much on then the ref tells them to go back to the corner so it can be wiped off.
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:
