Low blows are common in boxing, most of them being accidental, but sometimes
they are intentional.
It's usually mandatory to wear a groin protector in the ring and if it isn't,
it's just common sense. Boxing protectors are a little different than those in
most other sports, as they are bigger and more rigid then flexible. The
protector's are usually made of shock absorbing, lightweight foam padding over
a hard cup that protects your hips, waist, kidneys, lower abdomen and groin
areas. The protector is adjustable and fits properly as you don't want it
slipping during a bout. The protector is lightweight, water resistant and
shouldn't hinder your movement
The Lonsdale Super Pro Abdo protector is a classic protector engineered with
lightweight construction with high density padding. Lace adjustment at rear
ensures a snug fit. Ideal for training and contest.
