I think Esotera has a point. He appeared to gas abruptly,which seems a bit odd. Second time watching, it looked like Hughes and penn where about the same in fatigue in their corner..
Maybe a combination of fatigue and rib injury? He was lowering his arms, and seemed to have signs of fatigue.. Maybe the injury added on top of fatigue did him in mentally.
