I think it was the opposite. I think he was taking him too seriously, and his nerves got to him. The pressure of defending the title or whatever. He had the same look in his eyes that he did for the first Hughes fight. He also seemed too reluctant to step in and use his hands, instead using kicks almost exclusively.
It was also bad luck that he got clipped on the back of the head like he did. It took his legs out, and Serra knew how to finish.
The guy is young. He'll learn from this, just like he learned from the first Hughes fight.
