Million Dollar Baby Resolution

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2005)

To those of you who respected this movie as much as i did, i'd like to propose a question: Didn't it bother you that no resolution was ever presented in the movie re: the illegal punch delivered by Swank's nemesis? After all, wasn't that punch delivered after the bell? Then, how could any character in the movie (Like the mother) say that her daughter had "lost" the fight? Wouldn't the fight (under these circumstances) have been forfeited or canceled or something? No character ever mentions the offending boxer as having lost her right to box or any other punishment imposed upon her. Similarly, why does Swank apologize to Eastwood for not paying attention and protecting herself....the round was over and she was understandably on her way back to her corner. NO?????? I thought this film was extremely well-done, and i've never been a fan of Eastwood's...but this work is superb! Please help me resolve this technicality that's bugging me.
