I think this also happens to boxers who sadly die in the ring. They keep going beyond normal limits, driven by their will to win.

- kevinmchugh 5y agoBoxers who die in the ring or shortly after usually either: didn't have enough time to rehydrate after cutting weight, were fighting too soon after taking a lot of damage, or were in a too-long fight. In almost all cases they've been failed by their corner, and often the commission.
- gadders 5y agoThat explains why they die, but not how they kept going when they were dying. I always remember the Nigel Benn/Gerard McClellan fight when he was touching his head after being stopped, and then collapsed in the corner.
