Backyard Brawl Ends With Weird Delayed Knockout

Knockouts



This guy’s brain didn’t even know what hit him for a good 3 or 4 seconds, at first it looks like he’s going to get back up but when his brain catches up to what’s going on it’s like “Nope.

So what’s actually happening when someone gets knocked out?

“The body contains dissolved sodium, potassium and calcium, collectively known as electrolytes, which are responsible for conducting impulses along neurons. Every time a fighter receives a blow to a nerve, potassium leaves the cell and calcium rushes in, destabilizing the electrolyte balance, while the brain does all it can to keep these levels in balance. With each successive blow, this balance becomes harder and harder to maintain, and more and more energy must be spent in the process. When the body reaches the point where the damage outweighs the body’s ability to repair itself, the brain shuts down to conserve enough energy to fix the injured neurons at a later point.” via Popular Mechanics.

Here’s another crazy delayed KO… damn.
