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
