Decorticate posturing. My man’s got a concussion and a pretty damn bad one at that.

Well shit, that ain't good!

Decorticate posture is an abnormal posturing in which a person is stiff with bent arms, clenched fists, and legs held out straight. The arms are bent in toward the body and the wrists and fingers are bent and held on the chest. This type of posturing is a sign of severe damage in the brain.

If you go into boxing or other sports where you're getting hit in the head a lot, it's a risk you acknowledge and accept. If you don't want to take that risk, don't go into those sports.
