Sometimes, expectations are causing unnecessary anxiety to boxers. Boom boom was clearly anxious to win as all his team mates had won already. the guy was still to young to handle pressures. The whole country (Philippines) was expecting so much from him. And when he was embarrasingly knocked down during the first round, Rey may have thought on the humiliation he will face when he goes back to the Philippines.

The guy though very much humble has also his pride.
