In boxing does a cutman actually cut the boxer?

It's possible that this might happen somewhere, but I think if a cutman actually cut his fighter then his license would be revoked.\n\nWhen Rocky told Mick to cut him because he couldn't see, that was a terrible idea. Blood getting in the eyes of a fighter can be as serious a problem as swelling or more, and the excessive amount of blood released could prompt an early stoppage. Of course, there's also the possibility that cutting incorrectly would sever one of the delicate nerves along the area of they eye, resulting in more serious injury.\n\nIf a fighter experiences swelling, rather than cutting him, the job of the cutman is to reduce the swelling, generally by the use of EnSwell - a cold piece of metal. A good cutman is able to control the swelling in this manner.\n\nThe main purpose of the cutman is to treat cuts. They are allowed to use certain medications to treat them (applied with a cotton swab usually) and they then cover the area with vaseline to protect it when getting hit again.

Alan Minter was the former world Middleweight champion, the guy who Marvin Hagler beat to become world middleweight champion back in the early eighties. Im pretty sure he never did bare knuckle boxing though, unless as said in the answer above there is someone else of the same name?. He retired years ago but is still involved in boxing, i think he currently trains his son Ross who is an up and coming fighter.

Real fight, no.. but I have taken boxing, kick boxing to be exact, and it was for a small amount of time.. but the first rule is defense.. keep your fists up, just below your eyes about 4 inches from your face, with your thumbs towards you, and thumb outside of the fist.. or you could break your thumb.\n\nWhen you punch, throw your shoulder into it, and knocking the wind out of them by a solid hit to the stomach will usually break them for a moment for you to say, "ok, enough, I don't want to fight, and you have had enough". Walk away.  \n\nIf she persists, go for the eye, not the nose, you don't want to have to pay doctor bills if you break the nose, and a good black eye will blur her vision and leave a mark of "don't mess will me". But always keep your hands up and ready to react in blocking..\n\nAnd girls don't fight fair when they are mad, or are just punks, be prepared for sucker punches when you least expect it, and for clawing, biting, and hair pulling...The dirty fighting can be bad, and whether anyone knows it or not girls have a "privates" sensitive area too.. same place as the men, that bone once hit, or kicked, hurts really bad.. don't use that one unless she just won't stop..(try to remember riding a boys bike for the first time and falling against that bar).. now thats pain that you can recover from, but it'll take a while.\n\n(Do not have your hair in a braid, or ponytail if you are going to fight, it gives them something easy to hold on to.)

Actually doing boxing... There's no better workout for the sport than actually doing it; that way, you literally "learn the ropes" (learn to distance yourself within the ring, you learn to breathe better with a mouthpiece, you leran to handle your hands and punch wearing gloves, and you learn to keep your head regardless of whether you're being punched. You get over feeling self-conscious, and you feel more comfortable.

Yes and no.  Most boxing movies show only the strong combinations and heavy blows that look exciting.  If we are supposed to believe we are watching the fight from start to finish, then there are undoubtedly too many strong punches that land.  The way most of the fights are cut in the editing room, it seems obvious that they are usually "highlights" of the fight, in which case you could assume that the "boring" parts of the fight are just not being shown.\n\nROCKY IV SPOILER ALERT (Although, if you haven't seen it by now, you probably won't)\n\nRocky IV comes to mind as an example of both a realistic and an unrealistic (albeit very exciting fight).  There's no way Drago and Rocky hit each other that way all fight long.  If Drago really hit as hard as those crazy Russian computers said he did, then he hits harder than Tyson and we saw what a Tyson haymaker could do to even very good boxers.    The number of clean shots he landed would have probably killed Rocky in real life, although he would have been on the canvas before many of those hits landed.  \n\nAt the beginning of the movie, there is a very realistic fight where Drago actually does kill Apollo Creed within like two or three rounds.  Drago hits harder than Tyson, and Creed was already one foot in the grave in boxer terms anyway.  A 40-50 year old athlete getting punched like he did would definitely suffer brain damage.\n\nHope that helps.

There are a couple of styles. There is the slugger style. This is the type of style George Foreman, Joe Frazier, and Larry Holmes used. They are very strong punchers but extremely slow. There are speed type fighters like Muhammad Ali who used their speed to dodge blows and tire out their opponents. There are many other types of style that you can find at the website below:

I've heard experts breakdown the rise and fall---or the demise, rather, of "Iron Mike."  I'm not a true boxing fan, but I was shocked to hear these pundits state that Mike Tyson was a creation of the media.  He was a puncher, not a boxer.  He had tremendous knock-down power and could in fact deliver a punishing blow at any moment.  But the reality was, according to these experts, that he never faced great competition consistently.  When he finally did, he folded.  People turned to other factors contributing to his losses, but the reality of the situation, supposedly, was that he was an incredible puncher who absolutely demolished his weaker competition early-on in his career.  Faced with better boxers, with better fighters, he folded.  That was the basic gist of the radio show I listened to about six months ago.  Fascinating.   So I guess, NO....Tyson would not beat Ali.

In a real boxing match, yes. Marciano is a boxer, Tyson is a street fighter.

Remember Ali v Foreman?\nTactics......Ali sat back and let Foreman burn himself out.   Then whacked him.\nHe would have done the same to Tyson.

I used to fight, but now I just hang out and watch fights.  I was simi-pro for 4 years and during that period, I never lost a fight.  The first advise I would give you is;  This piss me off thing needs to go, as this will get your a*s kicked good!!!  You must be in to it mentally as well, as physically.  I used to love it when someone lost their temper with me.  I wanted them to loose it, and charge me like some bull.  That is when I would knock their a*s out.  DO NOT ever think you fight better when you get mad.  That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.  Set you off?  Are you kidding me?  You'll get your a*s knocked out in a hurry!  If you wish to hit hard, then you must work with a bag.  One of those big swinging bags.  The small bag is for getting your speed up as in speed bag.  The heavy weight of the big bag helps you to learn to move weight with your punch without breaking your wrist.  This is why one tapes their wrists up before a fight.  When fighting, you must try to punch through the object you are hitting.  What I mean by that is; to step into your punchs, and put you weight into the punch.  The idea is to send your punch through the object you are hitting, and using your weight to push it through.  It's kind of like driving a nail with a hammer.  You can either bang at the nail, or you can let the weight of the hammer drive the nail for you.  It takes much practice to unserstand what I'm talking about, and punching something as practice to perfect the punch.  When fighting, you can tell where a hard punch is coming from, by watching the weight shift to that foot as the punch is being thrown.  I used to pay close attention to the other boxers feet.  This way I knew where and how hard the puch was coming at me.  Throwing a knock out punch is different than jabbing to set up the punch.  Lets use a uppercut as an example; what you are trying to do is; pick the person up off the ground, but you are trying to lift all there weight with your punch.  You know that just the punch will not lift the person up without using your legs to get strength to pick them up with.  I could talk for days about this, but I'm not going to.  Just know that a mad (pissed off) person makes mistakes, and when you get into it with someone who has training, you cannot afford to act without thinking.  The best thing you can do sometimes is let the fight come to you, and act accordingly.  You must assume the person you are fighting is going to kick your a*s, and you are there to defend yourself from getting knocked out.  Always assume the other person is better, until they prove it different.  The very person that's going to teach you a lesson, is the person you most think you can beat.  You will see what I mean.  You can't beat someone if your eyes have been beat shut.  The best thing to do is; fight defensively, never get head strong, or loose your cool.  You may think you fight better when you are pissed off, but that will get your head ripped off your body, believe me!  By the way, my neece fights professionally.  She fights out of a Gym in Columbia SC, and has fought Layla Ali before.  Layla knocked her a*s out, and I think that was because she was over confident, and had no respect for Layla.  I told her, she must change the way she fought in order to beat someone better than her.  She didn't listen, and got knocked out.  Now she is training her behind off and trying to get another shot a Layla.  If you are serious about training and becoming a boxer, then learn some skills, and train even harder than you think you can.  Running down the road a 4:00 am doesn't win fights, but it does get you in shape to go the distance.  I hope I have been some help to you.  Good Luck!!!

I don't think boxing is going away as a sport. Not everyone's into ground and pound, however effective that may appear to be in a medium that encourages such tactics.

A pugilists heart is not contingent what style he or she is accomplished at.  In Professional fighting, your "heart" is your ability to rise up against adversity, no matter how grave the situation is.  Filtering out distractions like (but not limited to) fighting on your opponents home turf or in front of a crowd that is predominantly rooting for your opponent, fighting with an annoying injury ie broken nose, rib, hand, twisted ankle, bloody gash etc, ... or being aware that you are way behind on the scorecards, recent domestic issues or mental distractions, you get the idea.  Heart is an individual asset and I believe not relevent to ones style.  Boxers have Heart.  Brawlers have Heart.
