Would you stop it?

I'm not talking about a little blood trickling from the nose but a dangerous cut.  Like a laceration to her cheek which could leave a permanent scar, or cut over the eye, bleeding nipple, clitoris, etc.  The fight is still in doubt; though your fighter is probably slightly behind she could turn things around and there is a lot of fight left in her.  But her opponent is targeting the cut repeatedly and there is now a lot of blood.

And for the women reading this, the fight in question is a grudge match and there's a lot of money on the line.  Would you want the fight stopped?

no I would "let the girls settle it themselves". and yes I have seen my x bleed and I have seen her draw blood on the girl she is fighting.

I have arranged many female boxing matches in the past (and will again in the near future) and I have seen blood on many occasions. Usually the women have boxed through it, albeit it a bloody nose, split lip, minor cuts.  There were a couple times there were decent cuts, one being an eyelid cut, that I stepped in and stopped the fight.  The women that were the bleeders didn't like that I stopped those fights, but after a couple minutes of being treated thanked me that  I didn't let the fight go on.  The one that had the eyelid cut, blood streamed down her face before I stopped it, her cheek and chin being covered. The boyfriends/hubbys thanked me as well.

If there is one woman bleeding bad from a cut, I will stop the fight and tend to the blood (I am a very good cutman as well).

Interesting responses.  And no, this didn't involve my wife.  We were at a friends house (readers of my previous posts can guess where) and they had a boxing match advertised as a grudge match between two rivals.  In truth these were two middle aged women (late 30s to mid 40s?), and reminded me of some of JM Rolen's women.  Old strippers who still wanted to make money showing their tits.  Each fighter had a cornerman, who I assumed was their husband but I don't know that for a fact.  They fought with MMA gloves, the rules being no stopping for cuts although each cornerman or the referee could stop the fight for a serious injury.  One fighter got a cut in the soft tissue just underneath the corner of the eyebrow and it bled profusely.  Virtually blind in that eye her opponent took almost no time getting it bleeding again and it went well past my personal limit of "enough is enough."

On the way home my wife and I were discussing this, and she was totally against having the fight stopped.  She said the women knew the rules and what could happen, and the fighter could've quit any time she wanted to.  Basically echoed what the women who responded to this thread said, while all the men agreed with me.

Anyone who understands cuts (ie: has some medical or boxing knowledge) knows that in the wrong part of the body it can lead to permanent injury including loss of an eye. Also blood causing someone to be blinded can make it dangerous for both fighters. And finally, so both fighters did get tested for transmittable blood diseases like HIV and Hepatitis, right? 

There is a reason regulated matches have doctors and such at ringside to evaluate those things. Given that the fighters decided to not even allow cuts to be treated, it would seem the collective IQ in the ring was well under 100. Anyone thinking out of the heat of the moment who still would not have wanted their fight stopped deserves to lose an eye or worse.
