They need to try training when they are exhausted, disorientated and sometimes scared which are three situations that boxers don't often find themselves in at all.

i know alot of fighters experience it in their careers amateur or professional so probably learn from that i suppose

To be fair if your brain has been scrambled I would have thought you aren't able to follow orders or even think correctly. I don't think you can train for those effects.

true but some kds the head is still there but the legs arent. or it's a body shot, or fatigue more than any head damage

Boxing is all about remaining as calm as possible, but that's true for every sport. I'll always remember hearing the advice that a boxer should never shoot back up as fast as possible because it'll only amplify the effects of the KD (dizziness for example). Take your time, breathe, and slowly rise back up. If you're close to the ropes, use them to help you up.
