Check out Chris Leben fights in the UFC. There are numerous examples of him being totally "out of it" but is able to KO his opponent.

It is only quite recently that it has become more easily recognisable with the development of technology. Slow motion camera's and all that. You can see in the slowmo cam of that fight that he's clearly already unconscious. His facial expression says it all. He's not consciously fighting anymore. His instinct took over. | |

Rather, it's a static turtling up and blind lashing out. There's a similar thing where an ex-military guy trained himself to reflexively break the circuit of a taser when shot (although it does seem to require him knowing it's coming). | |

He wasn't capable of complex thoughts, but trained moves still could be called up. It is like the moves you can do in traing and fights, where you don't have to: If he does that, then I do this with my arm, folled by this with my leg. This is what makes new techniques slow when you learn them, untill you have this in muscle memory. | |
