I wish commissions (and opposing corners) would do more about these high protectors

It's just not right when a guy's cup is this high:

Yeah right . . . the protector shouldn't be extending out of the short's waste band. :yep :yep :yep

Both had theirs up high in this fight but I dont think it made a difference.

checkout paul williams in the pakau fight.

Dang!:think

I agree with Erratic Behavior on this. It puts too much pressure on the referee to determine what's legal and what isn't. It would be so much easier if they would just enforce the waistline as the maximum height.

Probably not, but I still don't like it.

I mean fighters are often going to try to bend the rules to their advantage. There's only so much a ref can do when guys are sneaky with their fouls and whatnot, but at least beforehand you can have the cup at a proper level.

Good post, and I agree entirely. Then again, there's still no defence against placement.
