In fairness, I saw Wright tugging on Hopkins nearly as often as the other way around. I think this issue gets more coverage because Bird at one point told him he was one hold away from getting warned but never went through with his threat, but I personally prefer that to deducting a point from him for failing to touch the other guy's gloves in the final round, if you get my drift.
