The thing about a nose punch was that even if it was not too strong of a blow if done right it would bleed easily and it distracted who was hit. The blood enraged the person who was struck and excited the person doing the striking. The net result was an enraged and unthinking victim and an energized attacker. The immediate show of blood also made for a great distraction. Fagan held back his laugh as he saw that this man was a bleeder, it was pouring from his nose like a stuck pig.
As the two men were squaring off for the fight and the natural fighting circle was forming in the crowd a voice rang out, ”Ten dollars to the winner if you knock him out and bloody him up good. Twenty dollars to the winner if the loser is not breathing at the end.”
