He was worried about getting robbed. Roy was the crowd favorite.
Why Would He Need To Act When He Was Winning Every Round?

1. Hopkins needed a break. Same thing he did with Calzaghe with those 'low blows'.
2. To break Jones' momentum, the second time he went down was when Jones was getting momentum, Jones was putting together his best work of the fight when Hopkins went down.
3. He wanted to make the referee take points away from Jones which did happen.Comment

Why did he need to low blow RJJ when the ref wasn't looking?Think about it. Why would he need to act when he was winning every single round? It's not like Jones was coming on and he needed a way out, or that Hopkins was behind on the score card and he was trying to even things up. Give the guy a break. He's 40 something years old. Those types of shots affect you differently at that age.Comment
