Matos faces lifetime ban after kicking referee following match
BEIJING -- Cuba's Angel Matos deliberately kicked a referee square in the face after he was disqualified in a bronze-medal match, prompting the World Taekwondo Federation to recommend that he be banned for life.
"We didn't expect anything like what you have witnessed to occur," said WTF secretary general Yang Jin-suk. "I am at a loss for words."
Yang also recommended Matos' coach be banned.

The reason it wasn't very hard is because he swept his leg backward, he didn't throw a normal headkick, his leg was extended and then he bent his knee and hit him with the bottom of his foot, as opposed to kicking with his right leg starting with the knee bent and extending it to hit with the top of the foot.
Since your quads are about a million times more powerful than your hamstrings it's almost impossible to get any kind of REAL power throwing a kick that way. I doubt that just about anyone could KO someone throwing the type of kick he threw. It's really more for scoring points than doing damage.

im pretty sure it was his broken toe that caused him to throw a pussy kick.
