Problem is, when Franklin was sparring with Rance before the first bounce a few weeks ago, he made head contact a couple of times and it was allowed to pass by an umpire standing two metres away. Is it a man's game or isn't it?
I didn't see that incident. But with the Martin one, after you've been warned not to do anything more and you spray the opponent in the face, you've essentially entered a game of chicken with the umpire, daring him to penalise you.
