    He clearly punched Helenius in the balls intentionally more than once.

    Disgusting tactics from an over rated fighter.

    Helenius was outboxing him, and could face being eventually KO'd so he punched him in the dick despite being previously warned and leaving the ring in disgrace.

    It could cause serious pain to a fighter if he gets hit there.

    If it's just wrecklessness and accidental that's one thing, but it was intention. That makes it disgusting.

    Ward did the same to Kovalev which influenced the fight, but nothing came of it.

    He's headed for the bum and ham-and-egger circuit now either way.
    He'll be fighting Spider Rico in the chapel where that kind of thing is allowed.

    It was a great way of showing his respect to another Polish great in Andrew Golota.

    Punching an opponent in the balls repeatedly to get DQ'd is clearly a national tradition.

    He was DQed, isn't that normally enough? It was a few low blows, not like he did anything insane or caused any significant damage.

    Helenius doesn't seem too bothered:

    It seems like Kownacki just wanted to get DQed so he didn't have to take a 'real' loss - more so than actually wanting to bust his balls.
