Selling the Crotch Shot

I've selected these two shots from Bout Time Studios to demonstrate how a lady properly sells a crotch shot in a staged match. Just as it's up to the actor on the receiving end of one of Spock's Vulcan nerve pinches to make us believe in Spock's ability to render anyone unconscious just by gripping them with one hand around the side of the neck and shoulder, it's up to the lady taking the crotch shot to convince us that the tide of the match has turned.

Here we have Casper in black against Kristin in light blue. Casper is in an obviously dominating position, kicking at Kristin's head. But wait -- Kristin "miraculously" connects with a perfect punch right between Casper's legs!!! And Casper immediately shouts out in pain. But that's just the first step in a professional's selling of the crotch shot.
Casper falls to her knees, face creased in pain and she doesn't even try to defend against Kristin's left cross. With her eyes closed, teeth clenched tight and her right hand protecting her crotch against another shot, we know that she is really in pain. And the way the Casper is starting to turn her back to Kristin illustrates that she really doesn't want any more of this fight. By the way, a tip of the cap to whomever selected Casper's bra, as it allows her breasts to hang nicely and gives us a wonderful glimpse of her sumptuous nipple.
