[H2O Man]

2. I think it

is a judgment call. I'd say low. But I blame the referee, who failed to point it out in the instructions. And belts were high. My son thinks the same way.

My late brother used to say it's "don't hit below the belt." But that wasn't intended to translate to hitting on the belt. The strap of the fould cup is under the belt, and a punch can lift the cup. I've experienced that in sparring ...... against who? Mt brother, of course! Ha!

One night discussing fighting, I said I never intentionally fouled a guy first, only in retaliation if the opponent was dirty and the ref didn't address it. My brother claimed he hadn't, eith -- with a straight face. I almost died laughing. He used every dirty tactic known when we sparred.
