and theres a huge adrnaline rush to knocking someone out in the ring. especially after a war. then with one punch its all over, no more pain, no more risk and he got the win hes been working for his whole life and thoousands of ppl around him go wild.
that feeling is why fighters keep fighting long after they should retire, at that moment he felt invincible, like a god. theres no toning your emotions down in that moment.
once the dust settles the instincs of fighting and the adrenaline rush of winning goes away and you go back to being yourself. if your oponent is still down at that point you get concerned. but you cant be concerned in the middle of the action and your state of mind doesnt switch the second the ref waves the fight off. it takes a while, first comes the thrill of victory.
