A "fake punch" isn't covered under the rules? It sureasheck is. A "fake punch" is considered "fighting" as per rule 4-18-1, and it is an automatic flagrant technical foul and disqualification as per rule 10-3-9. There is no discretion at all involved in that particular call. If you call a "fake punch", somebody better be heading for the bench- permanently.
You guys are getting completely carried away on this one imo. You're trying to kill a gnat with "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

JR,
To me 4-18-1 more describes a miss than a fake. Where does the fake morph to a miss? Cocking it or pulling it?
