I'll explain it again for the morons.
A low blow is any punch that lands below the belly button on a fighter. The punch does not have to land on the testicals to be considered a low blow.
How does one determine where a low blow is then when you can't see either fighters belly button in virtually every fight? The referee determines before every fight where the bellybutton is on each fighter in relation to his trunks, and then determines where a punch must land in order to be considered a low blow.
In this fight the referee determined that anything landing on the trunks would be a low blow. Sometimes if the trunks are worn higher the referee will determine that punches below the belt line will be considered low.
The referee said before the fight anything below the top of the trunks would be low. Khan's punch started below the belt line and continued up, landing square on the belt line, which is a low blow.
Plain and simple no question, no debate, period
Zab should have been given five minutes. Would he have won, no. Was he really hurt, probably not.
It was a low blow either way. Just for the record, according to that definition, Zab also landed a low blow, and each fighter technically probably landed more than one on each other.
