Cotto was physically exhausted. It wasn't a mental loss in my opinion. You could clearly see him running out of gas from the 8th on. Doesn't matter why, but I don't think we should read too much into it as quitting etc....
That's all it is, he ran out of gas and slowed down, began to get tagged more and was getting hurt, he did the smart thing and accepted he was getting beat and avoided unnecessary punishment.
