Another rule clarification came forth at this years annual Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports conference in Las Vegas.
In short it is being proposed that cut persons be allowed to work a cut during a round if the cut came about from a foul.
The practice clarification reads as follows:
- Allowing A Cutman To Be Utilized After A Foul But During A Round:
Intention: When a Fighter is the recipient of either an accidental or intentional foul and receives a laceration from the illegal action, the referee in charge after calling time and putting the fighters to neutral corners MAY call upon the cutman assigned (or in regional shows a corner with no coaching permitted) to the injured fighters corner to enter the cage during the 5 minute break and administer aid to the cut to help stop the bleeding, then when cleared by doctor return to the action, with no more than 5min elapsed. The cut-person may only work on the cut or cuts associated with that particular foul.
