Answer 1

It helps prevent eye swelling.

enswell .... a good cut man will use it before any swelling starts. Also they should not try to push swelling away in a wiping type motion, you see a lotta cutmen do that and its wrong. It should be held in one place...i seen a special on hbo with al gavin and joe suza. Regarded as the two best cutman in the game.
