"Ça demande beaucoup à un combattant de lancer des coups qui atterrissent dans le vide."

Simplified Meaning:

When a boxer swings and misses, it uses up a lot of his energy without doing any damage to the opponent. Imagine trying really hard at a task but not getting any results—it’s tiring and frustrating. In real life, this can happen when you put effort into something that’s not effective or doesn’t bring you closer to your goal. For example, spending hours studying the wrong material for a test won’t help you pass; it just makes you exhausted. To be successful, it’s important to focus your efforts in the right direction. This way, your hard work will actually make a difference and not just wear you out.
