Do you have Vetericyn? If so, I'd spray it on a Q-tip and swab his wounds with it and put him back with the flock. You can also swab on triple antibiotic ointment.
How much space do your chickens have, in the coop and run?
How many males?
How many females?
If you can't keep the roosters in such a way that they have their own girls and coops, you should keep the best one and re-home the other.
 
A little hard to see the actual wound damage with the corn starch, but from what I can see, everything appears pretty minor. Applying a dab of an antibacterial ointment, or a spray of a poultry spray should be all that's needed. This kind of damage is likely to reoccur unless you make changes with your other rooster.
We have already planned to take care of the rooster that caused this thank you

We have figured out the problem with a rooster we will have to get rid of him. His wattles are a little swollen and his comb is a little purple on the tips, it this due to blood loss? Should i be worried? Thank you

If you're referring to the rooster in the picture, it doesn't look like the wattles appear that swollen. Roosters often chase each other when fighting; that can cause a purplish tint to the comb due to increased respiration rate - very unlikely it's due to blood loss.
