Oh, I'm not talking about whether he did right or wrong. I just value accuracy.

I see your point...But I've been hit there while wearing a cup, and it...hurt.

It's definitely below the belt. Looks very close to a nut punch to me.

Ever been punched in the inner thigh? It's 100% worthy of a full-body shudder.

I certainly don't keep it a bit down my thigh. But then, I"m old-fashioned.

Does it really matter? It was the intent that is the malicious thing.

cougarnerd

Maybe his intent was to give the guy shiatsu. That's not malicious. That's kind.

Just accept that it was a hit to the balls and that's what was deserved.

It's a moot point. He was close enough to cause the protective reflex.

I'm not denying that. It was not, however, a crotch shot. It was a thigh shot.

Medute

Yeah, I don't get it. Maybe the punch glances the thigh, but it definitely lands
