Low blows. Why are they bad?

[AdamGB]

Forget your balls for a second... push your hands in to your stomach... there's a relatively thick layer of muscle over the top of a fairly strong organ in the stomach... now have a dig around the front of your pelvis... really try to dig you fingers in... there are intestines... the bladder... urethra... spleen all sorts down there with little to no protection just waiting to be burst or prolapsed by an impact... it's full of nerves so that anything touching there gives a stong "GET THE FUCK OFF" signal to your brain. Not a nice place to get hit and if you could just wail away down there (even if nut shots were still illegal) you'd have a lot of shit, short or tepid/timid fights and a tonne of internally damaged fighters.

p.s. I can tell you first hand that unless your cup has been personally fitted that there/s a good chance that it may absorb some of the blow... there's all so a good chance that it will be too small etc and CRUSH YOUR BALLS.

Even assuming that the cup does fit... you'll probably still feel it a bit... I'd rather touch a shot to my contracted abdominal muscles than to me soft, saggy nuts. just saying.
