I don't think those kicks were a response to being out. You could see he was kicking while blinking and giving a thumbs up to the ref before the bell, he was kicking on purpose to let the ref know he wasn't out. Unfortunately, either it didn't work, or by a weird coincidence he actually went out the moment the bell sounded. He should have immediately sat up after the bell (assuming he could), by chilling and relaxing he cost himself a win.
edit: He also didn't tap, but I know what you were talking about. Both times he single-tapped and both times the ref saw it and was getting ready. Single-taps don't count because that could also be reaching for another grip.
