Fastest tornado kick knockout, (Taekwondo vs Kickboxer?)

One of the best knockouts I've seen. If you are in a hurry skip to the 45 second mark and go from there.
From a mixed/open competition.

Some people call foul, I say "you snooze, you lose". The bow is necessery, the glove touching bs is not.

No question this was fair - they had both assumed a proper fighting stance. I think buddy thought first leg was the issue. And then second leg was all like "whap".

And I swear those are the same announcers as the OSL (pro Starcraft) - they're usually more excited about the Starcraft though. (Disclaimer: I'm sure they're not, but the common Korean vocal mannerisms sure stand out when you can't understand the language).

So the ref needs to check their balls before fights now? Hmmm.

In pure TKD tournaments, at least as far as I know with 8 years experience, the fighters get checked prefight that they don't have any piercings which are not taped down, that all the protective gear is legit and not modified and for both men and women they have to make sure they are wearing a cup. Usually the fighter is asked to tap it but the person responsible for the saftey is the controller and if there is doubt they tap it themselves. The fighter then gets a signed paper to give to the ref, sort of like the signature on boxers gloves.

In this open tournament it seems like the ref is the only one checking so he has to tap it as the fighters wear gloves...

Well the loser is just standing there doing nothing during the critical second. That's bad. A low kick can be 3x faster than that spinning high kick bs, and counter it before he gets hit. The attacker wouldn't even have seen him counterattacking because of the spinning bs.
