Edwards is a very good kick boxer but his legs didn’t support him after receiving a brutal attack from Wilnis. He really did well and should be proud to put down a guy like Edwards that is a strong power puncher.
no the black guy kept kicking him in the groin is that allowed
Low blows aren’t allowed of course but you may be right. To be honest with you it was difficult to watch this video since I couldn’t enlarge it and found that sometimes was very slow too. So I’m not sure if Wilnis was hitting the groin even after watching it for a second time. I really assumed that the referee was doing his job properly mainly because Glory tournaments are well know and the referees carefully selected usually.
