Yeah, the usual convention is that swinging at air is not what gets you rounds on the judges' cards. I know crazy notion. Unless you're of the opinion that Ricky Hatton was pitching a shutout against Manny Pacquiao

I thought it was a shit fight, neither fighter did anything to really admire, but the fact is Froch at best won 4 rounds. That's giving him all the benefit I can. I think this was a hideous robbery. You know how I felt about the Bute-Andrade fight, even if we did have differing opinions, well this enraged me almost as much, with that at least I could admire Bute's heart if not Marlon B. Wrong's refereeing (btw are we still on for a sig bet for the rematch?)
