How much protection do these boxing groin protectors actually supply? I've been to a boxing gym and actually used one (a Reyes I think) and I thought the protection that this thing gave was superb. The cup section had a hard plastic surrounded by padding and felt comfortable. Although I've never been on the receiving end of a low blow with the protector, I fell it would do a great job in protecting my groin area if that situation came about. I see from time to time fighters go all out with pain when they sometimes receive a tap in the groin and not even a hard shot. Sometimes I see fighters take a hard shot low and brush it off like it was nothing. For those of you who have boxed with one and got hit low, how much support did it actually provide? How much acting do you think fighters actually put on when their hit low?

No boxers in here who can comment on this? -
Thing is, they aren't always in the ideal spot and, depending on the angle of the punch, you can get rocked pretty hard down there.Comment

It protects but it still hurts from time to time...
Some fighters blag it or use it as an excuse
There are lots of examples of low blows which don't hurt a fighter and they shrug it off and the referee doesn't need to pause the action...
THE BIGGEST annoyance with low blows is the mental affect...Imagine having Danny Garcia hitting you with lowblows 3 times in a row...it messes up your focus thinking this dude in front of you is going to attack your ballsack again.Last edited by miniq; 03-28-2016, 07:22 PM.Comment
