Rob was quite injured by the Gear Third, and after that he started employing new, likely complicated rokushiki techniques. After Luffy gets up from the Rokuogan, Lucci releases the shrinking technique he'd used to stay ahead of Gear Second, maybe because he wanted to end it quickly like he said, or maybe because it was draining for him. I reckon he was waining the whole time, and Luffy's stamina won the him the fight. Also, the scene with Usopp is so perfect, it merits supernakama mode for a bit XD
