I was thinking specifically about boxing, so like no knuckles. Do other blunt objects cause cuts?
In: Biology
It’s the bone under the skin. Feel your face around your eyes. You’ll notice there is not much between your skin and the orbital socket underneath. Those cuts are from the inside out.
You have the bone under the muscle under the skin. If you push that soft tissue against the bone hard enough the place that gets stretched thinnest gets torn. If you have a ring or something on that’s going to cut too. You might also get an abrasion from rough surfaces. Boxing gloves can give you rub burn.
If the cut is deep/long enough you might stitch it. It’s not exactly like a knife since knifes are smooth but similar techniques.
They’re tears. It’s why the cutman puts Vaseline on the cut. Helps them to slide better. The glove pulls or pushes one side of your face from the other. Your face can only take that for so long. Your face has some of the thinner skin in your body. Bags under your eyes and such.
Once you get a mouse, or hematoma, and the blood pools, you can rip the skin open on the bones and burst them. They happen when the skin is being ground against the cheekbones or sockets. Some people are more prone to bruising or being cut.
Your knuckles are bone and your skull is bone with a quarter inch of face on top. The skin can tear or just be crushed between hard bones
Squeeze a grape hard enough and it splits. Your face is meat, covered by skin, layered over bone. Bone is hard, so when you punch someone in the face hard enough, it squeezes the meat so hard the skin splits, just like a grape.
