    Did anyone else notice the very deliberate manner in which he ran to and into the ropes?

    Honestly, I am not trying to start arguments nor troll but it truly seemed to me like Hopkins was going to go for another attempt at a foul / injury but thought better of it at the very last moment - he actually gained momentum and Chad didn't even push him!

    Anyone else think this? It's at the end of round number 5.

    No, I thought it was a spin and he let himself walk into the ropes, but I doubt he was trying for something.

    I did think myself in a moment of extreme cynicism (entirely brought in by Hopkins previous antics) that it looked for a second as though he thought about doing a Cintron but then decided against it at the last second.
